If the playoffs is what you were signed up for, you might want to start making alternative vacation plans for October. The Kansas City Royals lost 7-2 on Friday night in what will ultimately become another ho-hum loss in a season that had a few too many.
If Seattle holds on to their lead over Oakland, then the Royals will slip into fifth place of the teams on the outside looking in at the AL Wild Card. New York is currently beating Tampa, the Orioles lost (yay!) to the Tigers (Oh.) while the Astros lost to the Cubs.
