Back to back WS appearances and winning one was awesome, but if you would have told me while I was waiting for the best farm system in baseball to all come up as one that the "window" of winning would only result in 3 winning seasons, and two playoff appearances and at the end of it we would have to go full rebuild mode again I would have been rough ridin' pissed off.

We won 22 playoff games in 2 years, what an unbelievable ride

Yeah. I didn't think there would be this big of a drop off after that ride.

Anyone have ideas on what the root causes are? Players we traded? Rifts in the clubhouse? Contract pressure? Realizing that the family is about to get a divorce?

It was ALL worth it for b2b WS appearances and a title. All of it.

I need a win tonight though, really bad.

Not me. I would rather have a window of 1 year and win the world series than be a playoff contender for a decade and never win a world series.

Everything was worth it. Now it's time to blow it up and try again. Draft as high as possible for the next 2-3 years.

When one person, for whatever reason, has a chance to lead an exceptional life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

winning 2 AL pennants and 1 WS makes it worth it, yes, but again if all you told me back in 2004 that we were going to tank for 9 years for 3 winning seasons i would be mad.

Wgaf about how many winning seasons you have.  Postseason success is what matters, that is the goal.  That is the difference between the chiefs and the royals.

It is me poorly articulating how i would have hoped that the window we all waited so long for would have been open longer than 3 years, and that when the window closed it wasn't going to look like it was going to have to be close to a full rebuild.

Being in any way disappointed that we only won one ship after going to back to back WS is strange to me. Considering what it had been like for 25 years before

I would gladly go back and do every single thing the same given the choice.  We won a rough ridin' world series.  Im willing to rebuild before another one.  We will tank for a few years and hopefully draft and develop well this time.

there is nothing i said that contradicted anything that anyone in here has said. I have said nothing more than i'm sad that the window was so short.

It doesn't matter how long the window is open so long as you jump through the effing window when it is open and that's what the royals did

so Royals fans shouldn't GAF what happens for another 25 years, and then we can start to want them to be good again?
