I have thought about this for some time and came up with a reason a few years ago. You see, the Ghost of Capitulation lives above the TSC and is only able to concentrate on one team at a time. It therefore concentrates on one team and then moves to the other once the one is totally destroyed.Going over those formulas reminded me of how much I used to love my stat classes in college and how I

"I'm not from Kansas City, just wondering- what NBA and NHL teams get the most support there?"Probably the Blues for the NHL, with the Sharks being #2 since we used to be the top affiliate for them.I don't think there's one team that KC rallies around for the NBA. Probably a lot of Bulls fans from the MJ years or because they like Hinrich. Probably lots of Lakers fans because people like to be

Hey Rany, From someone who has fought with HTML before, I find it much easier to just build your table in excel then take a screenshot, crop it down to just the table, and save it as a .jpeg Then you can insert it into the post as a picture. It will be much cleaner.

You make a lot of good points, but I can't help but notice that the bottom is pretty deep. When the Royals were good, the Chiefs weren't just bad, they were AWFUL, and when the Chiefs were good, the Royals were losing 100 games a year. Ouch!The difference? At least the R's got to the WS a couple of time, and had some playoff success. Arrowhead is littered with the eggs laid in playoff pasts.

Its easier to rebuild in the NFL so I would guess the Chiefs will win a playoff game before the Royals.

Thanks, guys - I added the PRE label and the table looks much better, if still a little ragged.

Love the blog. Favorite thing I read on the internet by far. I might be a huge nerd, but I really miss math, so I ran the numbers on the chances 2 teams would go to the playoffs 12 and 7 times respectively over 39 years without overlapping, and I think it should actually be (27!)(32!)/(20!)(39!) which comes out to about 5.8% instead of less than 1%. Not that it matters, of course. The point

My friends and I have talked about this a lot over the years. The thing that gets me is that they're totally unrelated. By that I mean they're in different sports that have different rules. It has to be one of the weirdest things in sports, but since it's not NYC or Boston nobody outside of KC knows about it.

If someone who knows blogger.com formatting can help, please leave a comment.I don't know blogger.com formatting, but its subset of HTML appears to include pre tags. To see how pre tags are supposed to work, check out w3schools.com's TryIt Editor.Thanks for creating Rany on the Royals. Now I really can't wait for opening day.

Having suffered through the worst professional sports season in KC for some time, I have wondered which team will experience success more quickly. The Royals definitely get the edge in leadership and having a long-term plan, but the Chiefs play in the NFL where it's easier to turn a franchise around without an owner spending an excessive amount of cash.But at the same time, poorly run NFL

that is an absurd statement. I will say the Chiefs win a playoff game before the Royals win a playoff game. Royals don't have a chance to compete until '10, unfortunately.

The Royals will win the World Series before the Chiefs ever win another playoff game.
