Are this year's Kansas City Royals worse than the 1988 Orioles?
Although both teams can be deemed equally inept, the 2006 Royals, especially from a fundamentals standpoint, are embarrassing, whereas the 1988 Orioles were just bad.

The Orioles couldn't even win with Cal Ripken Jr. on that team, which automatically makes them worse than this year's Royals and Marlins ... and maybe even the Pirates.
