We are down 33% in home runs vs this time last year.  Thanks Obama.

Detroit is playing. 557 ball.  Not sure why everyone thinks so highly of them. (And that's with the soft AL central schedule.)

AL Central is like a poop division and yet the Royals find a way to get pooped on.

Only Boston has a better run differential in the AL.

Run differential is one of many ways to judge a team.  I'm not saying they're not good, I just don't think they're the second best team in MLB.

the point is the Royals are sub-par and have no chance of catching them, like every other year

No one thought we were going to win the division.  Our goal from the beginning has been the 2nd wildcard spot.

Most years, the second wildcard would have a better record than Detroit has right now.   I didn't actually research this though, so I may be wrong.

Detroit will end up somewhere between where they are now, and 104 wins or whatever their Pythagorean run pace is. Either way they're obviously going to win the central. They'll be in the world series if you ask me.

2 under .500 isn't horrible.  all i ask of the royals is to keep me interested.  they've done that.

.557 is pretty far from .642, but I wouldn't bet against them in the series again.

Last year the 2nd WC teams were 93-69 and 88-74.

In past years (looked back to about 2005) the teams that would have been the 2nd wildcard were basically around 88+ wins which is a .543 winning percentage.

 - Detroit is currently at .557
 - 2nd place WC team as of right now is at .556

Luckily, three of the top 4 teams right now for the wildcard are all the AL East so hopefully they all beat up on each other equally.

Good to see Dyson back. Also, I have never been a big fan of Getz.
