The Kansas City Royals fell to 77-75 with their 4-3 loss on Tuesday. Their only slender remaining hope for a playoff spot is to win a wild card. They trail the Baltimore Orioles by 5.0 games for the no. 2 wild card position with 10 games to play. KC must also climb over four other teams to make the playoffs.
Not gonna happen.
What kills me is that winning a wild card was completely within the KC Royals grasp. Had the bullpen taken care of business and not blown six late inning leads since August 31, Kansas City would LEAD the wild card race.
