| (Best E Casino) - Nobody expects the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series this year, or even next year or the year after. No, the expectation this year was to win with a little more consistency, maybe reach .500. For an organization so accustomed to losing, the goal was to engrain a winning attitude in the clubhouse. At the very least, to be able to show up to the park every day and expect to play well and win. Well, through the first two months of the season, that shift in mentality hasn't exactly gone t |
