Game 162 of the season today. The division is still in play. If the Twins beat the Tigers and the Royals beat the Sox, then the season will end in a tie for the divisional title. If that happens, the Royals will play the Tigers in game 163, in Detroit. Whoever wins, wins the division.
I had totally forgotten what this all feels like.
Worst case: the Royals have wrapped up home field advantage for the Wildcard play-in game. Best case: Royals win the Central and get a guaranteed divisional series.
Either way, for long-suffering Royals fans, it's all gravy. But I'm telling you, a run for the Series would be really really nice.
