By winning two games against Detroit on Friday, the Royals pulls to within 6 1/2 games of the Tigers in the AL Central, and within 4 1/2 of the Oakland A's for the final AL Wildcard spot.

While they'll likely miss the playoffs, at least they're close enough that we're watching the games.  Let's hope the Chiefs are this competitive.
