100%. Look it's kinda like when my wife says "I'm not really in the mood tonight, but we can do it anyway". It's not as awesome as when she is in the mood or "winning a playoff clinching game" but it's still worth celebrating! [Reply]

We’re not the only ones!
All of these teams have flaws. The Royals offense will be a serious concern until Vinnie's back but the dirty secret is almost all of these AL teams have holes in their offense. Even the Yankees who have the #1 offense, a lot of that is Soto and Judge which no doubt is the scariest duo. But it's not a murderer's row of hitters like some Yankees teams have been. This Orioles team is actually the one AL team who throws a whole lineup at you full of guys with above average stats. [Reply]

If we get Houston, it's not a bad draw as the Royals went 3-4 against them.
Unfortunately those 4 losses were in Houston, so..... yeah.
But it is the playoffs, so everything just gets thrown out the damned window. [Reply]
