Chicago White Sox @ Kansas City Royals Game Thread (5/4)

Ok, this feels weird but I'm going to put it out there. I'm officially leaving the "I'm waiting for this to fall apart" bandwagon. This is a good baseball team and they're going to win at least 85 games this year. The starting pitching is too good for that not to happen. The offense is picking up, and we're doing this without good hitting from Butler, Gordon, and Jacobs.

I'm tired of Royals fans' mentality (which I have proudly carried for years) that we are a loser franchise. The corner has been turned and we're going to compete now. This in no way should discourage Pete from his "Game Over" posts because I respect that but I do not respect the jinx anymore.

Oh yeah, and I can't freaking WAIT until Saturday night. Got front row seats, upper deck for the game against the Angels. Zack's scheduled to pitch, and I'm pumped to not only go but also run Zack smack against the Mousketeers.

Its good to have hopes and dreams. But reality sets in and its only beginning of May, traditonally the Royals have never had good Aprils and usually are out of it by June. This season thats not the case but the division is still wide open and the Royals aren't the greatest hitting team, I also dont think the pitching will be as good as it has been, especially after Meche and Greinke

Dude, I've been a Royals fan my whole life. I know the history very well. I'm telling you that I think it's turning and I'm not going to spend the whole season waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hopes and dreams are believing in a team that has Luke Hudson as its ace. This team competes on paper with any team in the division and has so far shown itself to play very competitively in divisional games.

I plan on going to the game on Saturday but I don't have tickets yet. I was thinking of trying to buy them from someone in the parking lot. What section are you in?
