Did you read my post? I said I think the Royals are more hot than good, and the layoff will probably hurt them like it did the '07 Rockies, who were on fire for over a month, then had a long layoff before the Series, and got swept.
Now, I just googled '07 Rockies to see what they're record in Sept and Oct was, and I see that I'm not the only one making comparisons (and this wasn't the only article):

I like that the ASG determines home field. It gives me a reason to care about it. They used to switch every other year. What's so fair about that? At least it's earned in some way here.
