Agree with all that, and I hate most of those teamsIn general I agree, but also...who had the highest payroll for baseball this year?
The Mets
Didnt make the playoffs
3rd highest? Yankees. Got humiliated by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Toronto is a huge city but in general they are a middle of the road team. But they spent money (5th highest payroll) and wow, in the final four.
But ok, if its only the biggest market, then explain the Royals who won about 10 years ago. If its only franchises with history thene xplain the Florida Marlins. Or how Tampa Bay made it a few times recently. How
The Cardinals have the history, but its a midwestern city with not a lot of media exposure as compared to NY/LA etc and yet have won it all recently.
Being in huge market helps, spending money helps but nothing is ever guaranteed.
People are just upset that the "rich got richer" with the Dodgers in terms of talent but they put it all back in the team instead of their own pockets.
Nobody likes a winner to keep winning. Theats why the most popular teams in each sport are also the most hated (Cowboys. The Chiefs now. The Patriots a few years ago. Duke. The Lakers. The Yankees. The Dodgers. Man U and Real Madrid...)
Except the Lakers
