Then two of them were the last two years. There's about a 13 or 14 year stretch in there where they had two playoff appearances and one of those was a wild card game loss.
On top of that, they went 5 straight years without a winning record before Francona got there. And three of those were 90 loss seasons. No one would argue they've had more consistent success than the Royals but your argument was that they've never had a down cycle.

All Time Playoff Apperances
Indians 13, Royals 9
All Time Pennants
Indians 6, Royals 4
World Series Champions
Indians 2, Royals 2
And the Royals have done all of that since 1969 while the Indians started in 1901.
