Or the Jays, who haven't fielded a playoff team in a very long time.
Or any other team in the AL East besides the Yankees/BoSox.
Or the Expos, who were were screwed over.
Or Oakland, who just dumped their Ace Pitcher/Star OF this off season because they don't feel they can compete/keep them around in the next few years, it will cost them too much money.
Or the Marlins who have to run their franchise in such a destructive way, that they've killed off their fanbase by selling quality players for prospects and a lot of lean years.
