I'll be at at least three of the games, if not all of them. The Jays have done poorly in KC in recent years, that's a trend that needs to change.

I'm saying 3-1 the Royals have a shot to be real good in a few years but that rotation.....Oh God.

KC has lost 7 in a row, so we'll probably lose tonight.

All four of those are certainly winnable games. I'd love to see us go 3-1.

3-1 sounds doable.

Let's hope we can gain some momentum in this series.

3-1 sounds good...4-0 sounds better :D. Go Jays Go!

Yes, often. It's one of the best parks in the majors to watch a game in my experience.

And you get to watch two teams in almost similar positions talent-wise. Went to last night's game. Not so much fun. :P

Hope our bats can take advantage of the match-ups against Hochevar/Mendoza because Duffy has been a nice surprise for the Royals so far, so it'll be interesting if he can keep that up, and Chen hasn't been too bad either. Anyway, hope Drabek keeps up the good work tonight, and excited for Hutch's debut tomorrow.

All-in-all, I'm hopeful for at least 3 wins this series. A team of our caliber should be pulling that off.

Not so fast.
Hosmer and Gordon are due.
Plus if it goes late, they have Greg Holland.
The Royals are not going to be an easy opponent.
That said, I still expect us to win.

After the past two series, we need 3-1 out of this series. Not saying any team is easy, but it's only going to get tough after this series.

I'm a fan, so my expectations are always going to be optimistic.

If you were to have read the entire post, you'd see the second last line reads: "Royals are not going to be an easy opponent."

I prefaced with 'not so fast' so as to remind us that the games could very well be close.

The Royals are a good ballclub. I have them finishing second in the AL Central. They're just under-performing.
