I'd say Bo Jackson's hip replacement surgery was a larger detriment to their franchise during the 90's when Brett retired. Trading away players like Jermaine Dye and Johnny Damon for bargain-basement prices has proven to be their downfall during this decade.

Well, you know, glory comes and goes, waxes and wanes, ebbs and flows.

So true, as even fans of The Dark Side will eventually learn.

Don't forget about Carlos Beltran.

Who, thankfully, does not need microfracture surgery on his knee, and will be out 3 to 4 weeks.  In the meantime, . . . I'll expound on the NL thread.

Glory?  Royals?  Not since about 1985, coach.
