The bottom teams in that league have a 3 year window to win before their players start going elsewhere and they go south in the standings and they have to start all over again. The teams in the Central divisions have a little more shelf life because the economic divisions are not so great there, but they can't compete come playoff time. Since the league went to the 3 division scheme, only one team, the St Louis Cardinals from last year, went to the World Series. There have been more wild card teams go to the series than central division champions.

The good old days when EK owned the Royals are gone forever, and it is too bad. Baseball now really sucks, Beltran is the best example. He should be the posterboy for the NFL! He had his focus on the current process that he is going through since it was "dos Carlos."
