On top of that, the fan base has had a taste of success. In the 2000s they had multiple years of about 1.3 million when they were terrible, and that was when you could literally get upper deck tickets for $5. |

2004 was better but remember we were coming off the winning 2003 season and had just signed all those free agents (Juan Gonzalez, Benito Santiago, etc). 2005-06 they drew 1.3 million both years. And that was with way cheaper ticket prices and parking than we have now.

Drama queen fans? So criticism makes someone a drama queen? Blind homerism is much worse than criticism. Everyone was calling for DM and Neds head at the all star break in 2014. Thankfully we went on an absolute tear from July 22nd to August 27th going 26-8 and went from 3rd to 1st place. They lost the lead in September, but they damn near pulled off taking the AL Central going 6-2 in their last 8 games. Started that stretch at 2 games back and ended it at 1. I just like going back and looking at that stuff, but my point is that had they not gotten hot then DM may not have been here the next year. Man looking back at that year our O was pretty bad, not one guy with 20 HRs or even 80 RBIs. But the pitching staff more than made up for it that year. That bullpen was other worldly

Yes 2014 was a good example, yet even the decent season of 2013 when we finished strong there were people calling for Ned's and DM's heads. Even during the 2015 season there were plenty of members here calling Ned stupid, Ned doesn't know how to use HDH, etc. or that DM needs to get rid of this guy, bring up this guy, etc. Even during the during 2016 we heard them calling out how stupid Ned and DM were. Let's face it, some people you just can not please. FTR, you can not please them if you hung them with a new rope. |

Go to 1977 and look up the attendance numbers per game early season. Or any random year actually.

Funny to think just a few years ago people were claiming KC is a baseball town. |

Still dont get why they cut Brian Goodwin for Duda and also have Gore on the roster. In 20 abs has a 1.155 ops. Crushed a HR over 450 ft the other night.
Makes no sense to lose 4 years control for Garbage man Duda. |
