Billy is getting the shaft 

How great would it be if Billy hit a pinch-hit walk off homer to win the division championship?

[mocat]

do you think it's awkward in the clubhouse b/t Billy and Willingham?

I doubt it. Probably more awkward with Billy/Hos and Billy/Ned

[mocat]

Oakland lost to the White Sox 

again! 

[AppleJack]

When Willingham scored a run last night they showed him in the dugout and everyone was giving him high fives and then I noticed Billy was sitting there by himself and didn't high five him. Seemed super pissed.

[mocat]

I don't think Billy/Hosmer is awkward. They play different positions and have known each other for years. Willingham waltzes in and steals Billy's job, that's awkward.

We have a better winning percentage than Oakland right now.

as a reminder, on July 21, they were 13 games better than us, and had a winning % of .622, compared to our .490

In the ALDS, the division winners are seeded 1, 2, and 3. 1 plays the WC winner, 2 and 3 play each other. We'd be playing Baltimore if the season ended today, with Games 3 and 4 in Kansas City and 1, 2, and 5 in Baltimore.

[Cartierfor3]

It used to be, a WC team couldn't play their division winner in the ALDS, but they scrapped that with the extra WC spot

[Cartierfor3]

Wait a second. Wait 1 freaking second. The White Sox are in a 6 man rotation????? That means Sale would pitch his last start 9/24 (if the rotation doesn't change) @Detroit and we wouldn't face him in our 4 game series in Chicago to end the season?

I feel bad for billy beane and all, but man, what a collapse!

[Cartierfor3]

We have 7 games left vs. White Sox and could possibly face Sale only once. Guys. GUYS

I was kinda secretly hoping for a Chiefs home game to be on the same day as a Royals home playoff game and for the world to just explode. I checked. Not possible.
