Meh. Don’t have 7 game losing streaks in the last 2 weeks of the season and none of this even matters.

The Royals made their bed. Now they have to lay in it.

Finish the sweep of Washington today and win at least one in Atlanta this weekend (regardless of who’s pitching) and they’re likely in.

If they can’t do both of those, they have no business being in the playoffs. :shrug:

I bought tickets for game 1 of the ALDS. I figured that would be our best option of catching another game at the K this year.

The Jayhawks play at Arrowhead on Saturday afternoon too. I'm not sure how much that would be a potentially conflicting factor on them coming to KC, but it certainly doesn't help.

This statement right here is exciting. We have 4 games left in the season and are seriously in contention to play in the post season? Holy shit, what a season. I'd like to go back to my original post in this thread.

I was optimistic, but didn't expect this. Was honestly hoping for a good progression from the team under JJ/Q. Far surpassed expectations and I'm absolutely stoked to see what they can do in the postseason this year, with the future being bright. Go Royals!

The White Sox are such a dumpster fire of an organization. Some of this stuff is crazy.

I can see how Liam Hendricks rubs teammates the wrong way if you know anything about him (he's woke), but still, part of being a good teammate is embracing every one regardless of your differences and definitely being in his corner when he has cancer.

The White Sox are trash. They can fall off a cliff, as far as I’m concerned. But please find a way to beat Detroit a few times first.

Any chance he comes back early?

I'm afraid those 2 7 game losing streaks will keep us out. Atlanta will be fired up to win, we somehow have to get at least 1 win there. If we lose the last game in Wash., we gotta have 2 games in Atlanta. This a fight with Seattle for the last WC spot, Detroit finishing with the White Sox is probably going to sink us!

I still refuse to root for Chicago.

LOL. This didn't age well.

We just eliminated Seattle
