guys. if we win, and are only 1 game back, i'm gonna start to believe that we can still win the division again. somebody please talk me out of it.

If Detroit were on our schedule, or there were going to be 30k Royals fans at a game, or we were gonna start Hendriks for a game, or if Holland and Duffy were still hurt, or if James Aoki wasn't going bananas, or if we didn't tend to play very well in Chicago, I'd say yeah you need to be talked out of it.

But J-Dub, all those things listed are reasons TO BELIEVE BUD!

Last start of the year as well, I'm sure he doesn't want to sit on a loss all winter long #meaninglesstalkingpoints

Feeling pretty great about these posts.

The Royals just went 11-10 against four teams who would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, and the Yankees, who are 2.5 back in the East and 1.5 back in the WC. It just happened in a peculiar fashion. In between KC swept two teams they should handle in Cleveland and Chicago. Total record 16-10 for the stretch (that's approximately 100-62 over a full season FWIW). 

3 tough games against the Angels and then the Royals get a soft nine-game stretch against Minnesota, Cleveland and Tampa before heading into the break with four at home vs Detroit. No reason not to expect go 9-7 or 10-6 in that stretch.

50-44 sounds pretty good heading into the ASG. That's 86-76 over a full season, and what I thought it would take for the Royals to grab a WC spot heading into the season. The current standings paced out have 87-75 nabbing the final WC spot.

and

Cliff's notes of my previous post:

There is going to be a lot of  :royals::ohno::angry::crossfingers::Woot::bang:, and  :D for the remainder of the season. 

But hey, just kick back, :bwpopcorn: and watch it all unfold.

Was low on the number of wins needed, as someone (I couldn't find the post) pointed out. I'll gladly eat a little crow for some additional wins. It's been a hell of a ride and if it indeed ends in  :D, then it will be even more great.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Best case scenario. Royals make the playoffs, AND Dayton leaves. This is all assuming we would hire a more competent GM though.

what is the tie breaker?  picking up a game is pretty easy.  picking up two would need a ton of luck.
