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.
