Twins:
* 9 Games remaining with the worst team in the AL
* 6 Games in KC 3 Games @ Minny
* Got to dominate these remaining games
* Min Requirement 7-2 Record

Marlins:
* 3-Game Series in Miami
* Marlins have recently started to fall back to the pack
* They've lost 3 straight and are 3-7 in their last 10 games
* Got to take 2 outta 3 in FLA

Red Sox:
* 3-Game series in Bean Town
* The AL East is a meat grinder and Boston is primed to make the Playoffs.
* Outside of CLE on our schedule, this will be a very tough series for the R's
* Need to avoid the sweep and go 1 outta of 3

Yankees:
* 3-Game Series at Home
* The Yankees look like they are ready to die, they just don't know it yet
* They look like the odd man out, and should fall prey to the rising R's
* HAVE TO take 2 outta 3 from the Pinstripes (a sweep would be awesome)

Tigers:
* 6 Games - 3 Home/3Away
* The Tigers Bullpen is a ****ing mess, as displayed against the R's this week
* Their lineup still looks formidable, but they don't look like a team ready to make a run
* Really need to win both of these series and go 4 and 2

White Sox:
* 7 Games remaining - 4 Home 3 Away
* The White Sox are dysfunctional - Period
* They've got sdome great parts on that Team, but overall, it just doesn't fit
* If we can avoid giving up the long-ball, we can beat these guys all day
* Got to take both of the remaining series with them and go 5 and 2

Athletics:
* 4-Game Series at Home
* There is not much about the A's that scares me. This should be a layup for the Royals if we continue our hot streak when the A's get to KC
* I think we could sweep them, but I'm going with 3 and 1 for the Series win

Indians:
* 6 Games remaining: 3 Home/3 Away
* I'm thankful that we only have 3 away games left with the Tribe, as they are by far the most complete Team remaining on our schedule
* They look poised to finish strong
* I'm HOPING for a split 3 and 3

Next 41 Game Projected Record: 27-14 .658 win %

That gives us a final record of 88-74. Is it enough to squeak into the WC Game? That's going to depend upon what happens with Toronto/Balt/Boston and their remaining games. I hope they beat the shit outta each other and make it interesting for the Royals:D

See, that's where I had my brain fart and forgot about having to put guys through the wire to be able to trade after the deadline.

Wonder why Soria's name was reported? I didn't see any other names pop up in my news feed.

That's a good question. Have to wonder if the Royals floated it out there to get some trade buzz going with other teams. I don't think anyone would trade for Soria unless we eat the contract.

Does FSKC operate under Fox Sports Midwest? New to the area and have never had the option to watch on tv before. Any help is appreciated.

The Royals somehow managed to find a way for me to truly not give a shit about the Chiefs during baseball season once again.

That is sad because THIS Royals team is going now here. They have beat up on the God awful Twins and injury ridden Tigers. Get a grip.
