Then of course people seem to think being a few games back in the division is some horrible thing at this point in the season. |

It's not. If you had said on May 1st that we would be 4 games out of first(the most likely scenario)and either in the 2nd WC spot or a game out of it at the break, everybody would have signed up for that immediately. The bummer is, since April still counts, we have been swimming up stream all season to this point. Now we will be 3 or 4(or I guess 2, but very slim odds of a KC win AND a Cle loss)out and while we may not have the hardest remaining July schedule, the Indians schedule would make an SEC non conference football schedule maker blush. They play absolutely no one until 7/31. So basically, we can't afford many if any missteps. A 5/6 game losing streak, normally not a huge deal, likely has us 7 or 8 out. Insurmountable? No. But we can't keeping relying on "Royals Devil Magic" to defy odds. That's why I'm looking at the WC race. If we wake up 8/1(when the Indians schedule gets much tougher)3/4 games out of first, then I think the division is in play.

Well that was a disappointing ending to an otherwise exciting game. Note to self: next time research which side of Dodgers Stadium is in shade after 4pm.
My 6-year-old nephew freaking gets on the Jumbotron and gets a ball given to him his first ever baseball game. Helps to be a cute kid! My 3rd time at Dodger Stadium - much better experience than the first two. They've really cleaned up the place - much less stabby. Maybe winning helps. Also sitting in the lower level. But even the bleachers looked a lot better than when I sat there like 12 years ago. I do not have good luck going to games or even watching Royals games with my family. Fortunately for the Royals we have plans tomorrow and won't even be near a television. |

Don't sit in the Bleachers when the Giants are in town. Other than that you're cool.

It was a Giants game 12 years ago or so. Big mistake to sit in the bleachers with a 10-year-old.

Today in order to keep from totally pissing away the sweep in Seattle, we now have to go out and play a day game, in a heat advisory, in Smoggy LA, and only have to beat the best pitcher in baseball, on his turf.
I like our chances. So Royals.... |

So they are already -3 back. Good odds it'll be -4 after today
Nice way to finish the half |

That was a sad game of missed opportunities with Soria being Soria to end any hope.

At least Soria threw strikes. That pitch to Bellinger didn't look that bad on the replay.
