You won't see it until Thursday? we'll try not to tell you the results

I'm embarrassed. I made a note to check this to see who I'm going to need to send the prize to. I hope we're wrong, very wrong. Looks like Brando Fan may be a winner

Part of this is Bonds is finally acting like a human instead of a stuck up asshole. The media figures grab it while its there since he'll go back to his brooding ways in no time. It is so hard to play baseball after losing your father, working an actual job would be so much easier. In a hospital bed from exhaustion. A hospital bed!? How many of us check into a hospital because of exhaustion? The best I get is honey you take the kids, I need a nap

I really wish they would stay in the playoff race a bit longer. Gosh darn it if the Sox don't win it all, I'd like to see the Cubs win

Wow and pinned to the top! Thanks everybody. Twinkies and Royals lose, whatta day.

Says the guy with 16 posts per day

Good for Josh. Called up in the midst of a pennant race.

The more the media annotes E-Lo the Cy Young the more I think he's gonna get hosed. A playoff spot and 20 wins should be enough.

Just keep taking care of business and winning series. After Boston ew have 7 series to close out the season. We win 5 or 6 of those series and we should be fine. Avoid sweeps and life is wonderful. Crank up the printing presses and start screen printing it's post season baseball.

Let's not give JM any more options in his Magic 8 Ball.

I still worry that the Royals don't realize they are through. At least at some point the Twins may realize they are tired and fade gracefully, I see KC battling until the end.

My formula for JM continued employment with the White Sox Miss Playoffs = Adios, Good bye, call the agent and take a long trip. Finish something like 6th on the All-Time Sox list. Out in the 1st Round = 50-50 on next season. The team met minimum expectations. Out in the ALCS = He's here in 2004 without and extension. Basically a one year reprieve. Out in the WS = He's here on a 3 year contract and we may grow to love the guy. WS Win = Kids will grow up never knowing another WS Manager.

Remember what the Os did really doesn't fool major league front offices. They have the staff to analyze all his outings before pulling a trade. And while it's true he was pitching against the other teams 4-5 starter the oppponents were still batting their 1st lineup. I wish we culd teach whatever turned E-LO around. The new pitch, a little more confidence, etc. By the time a player is in the majors it has to be assumed he has talent and a lot of it. What they get out of that talent seperates the top players and the mediocre.

Go Astros

Gotta love Labor Day

It's more than winning 4 on this trip it was beating the Yankees 2 of 3 in NY. If the scores in NY were reversed and we swept the Tigers there would still be several questions marks. Winning the Yankees series was critical.

Steinbrenner probably didn't even know the guy was on the roster.

KC is too young to realize they are out of it. with no pressure and a great 1st year manager I am still worried. September 1 and they are still hanging around. Miracle Twins? Damn why didn't we contract these guys.

If I understand the formula, but I probably don't, the wild card team can not play a team from its' own division in the 1st round, so giving the Yankees the East, that means between the M's, A,s, and BoSox will come the wildcard. I believe the team with the best record plays the wildcard so we will get the other division winner. Oakland is making another great end of the season charge and I believe they will win the West and have the best AL record. The M's will beat the Red Sox for the wildcard setting up a Sox-A's, Mariner's Yankees 1st round.

Actually since Gagme blew his only save in a year at the Cell during the All-Star game life has been good!

OOh I'm worried now MINNEAPOLIS -- Jesse Orosco, the all-time Major League leader in games pitched and relief appearances, returns to the organization that drafted him a quarter century ago. The Twins acquired Orosco Sunday night from the Yankees in exchange for a player to be named later. Because the move was made before the playoff roster deadline of 11 p.m. CT, he is eligible to be on the Twins postseason roster.

Let's make certain they don't have to play that game . . . Although wouldn't it be weird pulling for one of those teams to knock the other out of playoff chances? A three way playoff would be interesting. Anyone know the formula?

Damn it feels strange to say it but on this Labor Day I truely believe we are one of the top 5 or 6 teams in baseball. But like any long term Chicago baseball fan I'm holding my breath wonderng when things will go wrong.
