I don't believe any team is doomed, including KC and the Pirates, they're not 'small markets', Pittsburgh won the superbowl last year ffs. If KC get someone knowledgeable and passionate in charge, build a decent squad and eventually win a world series, every schmo in the mid-west starts supporting them and they're suddenly big business, on ESPN, more money, more fan revenue, they sign big stars etc.
Someone mentioned Chelsea, completely average for their entire existence and then WHAM, best in the country with more fans than they've had in their entire first century as a club, every little kid in England wants a chelsea shirt now!
And really, the Cubs haven't been on tv that much, its only because its Chicago, second city, and its the Cubs, the perennial Playoff losers, they were on tv like every sunday a few years back, especially when Sammy Sosa was hitting 60 big flies a year
