Yeah its probably over. Hell of a ride. Sweep Texas and we'll still have a pulse on Monday.

Orioles have a tough stretch ahead of them though.

Let's pull a Colorado from a few years past and make a run to end the season

Sweep Texas we can keep on this dream tour, if not celebrate a fun ride and push all the chips to the middle for 2014.

At the end of the night, Royals are 2.5 back in the WC. Doable, yes. Probable, no.

That said, the game is played on the field. Hope has me hooked, at least through the Texas series.

We can afford to lose one against Texas.

That being said, I think we can only lose 1 more game in order to have a good chance at making it. 2 losses we would need help. 3 losses out.

Texas is 3-13 in September

I think you'll be seeing Big Game James take the hill for the KC Royals. What a thrill this is for you!

Did you see my post where I brought up Texas's hilarious collapse in September? I think they are like 3-13 or something

WAR stat is stupid and overrated IMO. I can't imagine a player I'd rather add to the Royals than Miguel, and that includes Trout*

Miguel Cabrera now third or fourth in AL in WAR, depending which version you prefer. Man, that stat just doesn't like him.

*Right now. Long term Trout because he's younger obviously.

Agreed. I don't like WAR either. Miggy is an unreal batter, and his defense is underrated.

TownieCat · « **Reply #6970 on:** September 19, 2013, 01:09:14 PM »

I don't need WAR to tell me that Jamey Carroll is the 23rd worst out of the the nearly 1,300 position players in all of baseball.

Prince Fielder just took a nacho and ate it from a guy sitting 1st row when he was trying to catch a foul ball.

He reeled me in so hard. After that interview with Ryan I was all "Damn, Ned is a complete badass/stud"

"Royals haven't had a manager this good in over twenty years!"

"Moustakas has improved his batting average by .060 since the start of the season, you think Ned has nothing to do with that?!"

"Shields? Come on, Shields? You think adding one guy is what makes the difference in making a winning team? Come on, Ned has been the steady hand the whole time. Shields only pitches one game out of five!"
