Likely won’t be enough though

I mean, if regular season success is your thing, sure.

Me, I prefer rings, flags and trophies.

Am happy to say I got to see my team do that in the last decade as opposed to ‘well, yeah, we haven’t won anything but we had some nice regular seasons’

You keep enjoying all that regular season success. Seems to be enough for you. :shrug:

I don't know, the other 3 Central teams aren't much better than the Royals. Could be one of those years that 80ish wins gets the division as strong as the East and West are.

Rough game for the home team. Maybe you'll do better against the Cy Young finalist Gausman tomorrow (I doubt it).

West is strong? LOL

A division with the Athletics and Angels is strong?

Well considering 3 of the teams in it could win 90+ games, yeah, I'm thinking I'll take that over the sewer trash that is the AL Central.

Congrats?

You want me to go ahead and tell you how this story ends? Save the suspense and build up??

Oh, I know how it ends. With the Royals winning 70-75ish games and the Jays losing in the playoffs after their front office directs their manager to pull one of their dominating SPs after 3 innings. Should be quite the trip until then.

And so he did.

The Astros would have to go 83-56 the rest of the way to win 90. I know seven straight ALCS, but there's reason to believe their window is closing. Jeff Ludnow is four years gone and Dana Brown doesn't have much of a farm system and is spending $100 million on relief pitchers.

The Rangers won't have their real rotation until mid-to-late summer.

The Mariners aren't that much different from the sewer trash Twins and Guardians on paper. Flawed team with a promising young pitching staff and not much offense outside of Julio Rodriguez.

Regular season champs?

Good job.

So you're simultaneously trashing the Royals, yet you're oh so proud the big bad Blue Jays won? You can't have it both ways. But hey, stay classy.

Sure I can. I am.

I hope you're right about the Astros because that would be one less team the Jays have to contend with for a WC spot, but I'm skeptical of writing off a team with that kind of talent/track record.

Regardless, I still think all 3 of them are beating up on the Central all year though (as all the East teams will too).
