Sad thing is, they don't deserve to make the playoffs but will. The Royals can beat teams with winning records, like Detroit, but wont make the playoffs.

lol, wow....looks like a list of people this organization would sign though.

Royals shouldn't have lost so many games to bad teams then.

Every game this weekend is a must-win, basically. Baltimore playing Tampa Bay and Texas playing Kansas City. Automatically gain ground/cushion on someone with every win, and lose ground to someone with every loss.

I'm gonna sound like con_alma, but if they make the playoffs, they deserve to be in the playoffs. It's not like they would make it with a losing or .500 record. They can't help what other teams have done. Also the tribe have beat some pretty good teams in series, so just stop.

They beat Oakland in 1 series(but took the seasons series because of the sweep early on) and they beat Texas in two series. yeah, "pretty good" teams......

Cleveland is 32-46 against "playoff" teams.
Boston 1-6
Detroit 4-15
Oakland 5-2 (Which they beat when Oakland was struggling early)
Texas 5-1
Tampa 2-4
Baltimore 4-3
New York 1-6
Kansas City 10-9

Kansas City is 38-37 against "playoff" teams.
Boston 5-2
Baltimore 4-3
Cleveland 9-10
Detroit 10-9
New York 2-5
Oakland 1-5
Tampa 6-1
Texas 1-2

My point is at least KC would have a chance to advance to the ALCS. The Tribe flat out doesn't.

That looks like a standard track record for any team trying to squeeze in the last WC spot. Now please stop bitching about it and try to enjoy the possible run to a playoff spot.

While I hate Chris Perez, let's my forget he was throwing it 90mph when Boston came back to beat us twice. Should've won 2 more versus Boston if he is healthy
