Heh, keep telling yourself that.

It is nothing. They might not make it but who knows at this point. It's basically like calling an NFL season over at 5-4. No one really knows.

That's baseball. You just need to hang around and not take yourself out of it, which the Royals actually didn't do for once. One decent hot streak in the 2nd half and you're in the mix. The 2nd wild card definitely helps. Toronto's dropped back to earth, the Yankees lost their best pitcher, the Angels/Mariners/A's all get to beat up on each other... although the Texas teams might negate that.

I know mathematically they are right in it.


But it's the Royals, they will find a way to screw up. Plus, they can't ever seem to beat the Tigers when it truly matters.

I won't believe in them until they give me a reason to. I can't let myself get excited. I won't.

They're going to win the World Series in a sweep plus break some records!

I was overseas in the military for the last I-70 World Series so ...

They just beat the daylights out of the Tigers less than a month ago with first place on the line.

It's going to be tough to catch them though. They're a good team... and picking JD Martinez off the scrap heap has helped take them to another level. That still doesn't take the wild card out of play though.

If Shields is really right again like the last two starts, him, Duffy and Ventura are a legit group.

Roy Clique win big tomorrow.

Feelin pretty good right about now.

Keep it up Royals!

Been a fun last couple of weeks, that's for sure. Clinched the season series from the best team in baseball tonight with the win. Tomorrow will be gravy, plus Shields is on the bump.

This

I'm standing by this.

We live in Kansas City...where all sports fans hopes and dreams go to die.

My gut says they'll cool off and the bats won't be good enough in the end and they just miss out. But the schedule is lookin pretty sweet. I'll reserve my decision for now.

Shameless bump.

I knew this thread existed (I use search) but I wanted a more varied breakdown of feelings on the subject.
