MLB: Royals Clinch Playoffs

[FDWxMan]

Longest postseason drought now lives in Canada.

Good for KC. Just wish they could catch Detroit.

Good to see! I missed KC being in the mix for good things.

Boo you. Let's go Royals!

 

[CloneIce]

Hell yeah! Feels so good!

plenty of relatives partying tonight!

I still want the division. It is so much better to avoid the one game wild card crapshoot. Go get the Tigers, boys. Only one game back.

 

[cydsho]

Awesome awesome night.....glad they got it done tonight so they can focus on winning the rest for the central. Hopefully they aren't all too hung over tomorrow!
This is fun watching the post game!

Still work to do, go Royals go Twins.

No kidding on the Twins, I want the central crown pretty bad. We do have two of our better pitchers going as well so I feel like we can win both, just have to have the Twins take care of the Tigers.

Cardinals fan here, but have a soft spot for the Royals, now that the '85 wounds have pretty much scarred over.

Plus, I'll always root for the small market guys if the Birds aren't involved.

In 2006 the Royals swept the Tigers handing the Twins the division... That sweep cost the Royals David Price.

Time to pay up Twins...

 

[mb7299]

that is a good point maybe the wsox should be reminded to play for the L's so they can get a better pick in the draft

Enjoy this Royals fans. Hopefully you can have a postseason run like my Rockies did in 2007 with a better result in the WS.

Even I miss the playoffs as a Twins fans. Congrats to you guys. My boys will continue to do their best to help out.

They are certainly helping out again tonight. As much as I'm excited about making the playoffs I'm still nervous about how weak this team is offensively. The Royals lineup just has too many brain dead hackers who will swing at anything to feel super confident about their chances. And Salvy might be the worst of them all right now. You don't even have to throw it near the strike zone right now to get him to swing.

Don't get me wrong, I hope the Royals score a bajillion runs once the postseason starts. But man they are a frustrating team to watch at the plate.

12-2. Not too shabby.
