The headline's wrong; it should read "2009," not "2008."

This is NOT from last year.

Royals hope to carry strong finish over to 2008

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The long-struggling Kansas City Royals only need to look at the Tampa Bay Rays if they need some inspiration heading into the 2009 season.

After making their run to the World Series, the Rays are role models for small-market clubs such as Kansas City.

"No doubt about it," pitcher Luke Hochevar said Thursday during the annual Royals Caravan stop in Omaha. "Tampa Bay went through the same thing we went through, being so young and going through your growing pains and getting better and better.

"Their guys, it was their second or third year in and they were comfortable and they just blew up."

The Royals hope it's their turn to surprise after years of frustration. There are positive signs.....

I remain defiantly hopeful.
