This is starting to become a pet peeve of mine. By all means rip Marlins "fans" to shreds for not supporting a team that's winning a world series, rip Braves fans to shreds for not selling out playoff games, but really, what the hell do you want out of Pirates and Royals supporters? Continue giving the worst owners in baseball their money despite not even putting up an attempt to go .500? It sucks for Pirates and Royals fans, they've shown in the past to be great fans, but you can only be dumped on so many times before you say enough. Agreed. I'd have a hard time actively rooting for and supporting a team that had no chance of winning every year. Even the Cubs make the playoffs once a while. The Royals and Pirates are small market teams with lousy management, not exactly a formula for success.
