The kind of money that, despite Jackson county ponying up $250M (more ?) in a recession, the Glass family has yet to commit to the product on the field.

Apparently, in a recent questionnaire about improving fans' experience at the K, several options were listed. Noticeably absent? Better players/better team. Reason? It's cheaper to buy another hot dog stand, miniaturized field for 4-year-olds, or set of toilets than it is a power-hitting corner outfielder, another frontline starter, or anyone else who isn't Mark Teahen, Ross Gload or ....gulp....TPJ.

This is Missouri. SHOW ME.

Bah, they've been doing much better at spending money of late and it's starting to show on the field. This is still a small market team let's not forget, and Rome wasn't built in a day. Yes I know they've sucked for years, but the past two is where they've finally started to spend some money and the results are starting to show, let's give credit where it's due.
