Expos won the "division Series" or whatever they called it in 1981. They beat the Phillies, and then lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS.

Leesman takes the loss.

Mitchell is leading off, playing CF tonight.

Ah, thanks for the correction. That sucks. I hope they find a way to slot these guys, and get them signed and playing a week after the draft again.

The Sox will have the 20th pick in the 2011 Draft.

I'm not going to be running out and buying a new cap or anything, but I'll be supporting the four teams not in the eastern divisions. Twins-Rangers Reds-Giants If I had to pick, I'd say the Giants will beat the Braves, but the other three will lose.

I think Hawk is breaking the law giving a description of other games. He needs consent by Major League Baseball. Fireable offense in my book.

I don't care if he leaves. I just want a winner next year.

Comedian Greg Giraldo, dead at 44. OD on prescription pills.

Yeah, we need Mitchell to hit the ground running next year. I don't want to have a ton of Mike Trout jealousy a year from now.

Yes, it's been widely noted that the 2005 White Sox get 14 seconds of air time.

David Price is right, and he shouldn't have to apologize, even though he did. That market simply cannot support major league baseball.

I could live with one more playoff team, but here's what I would do: I would make both leagues 15 teams, no divisions, top 5 make the playoffs. Yes, there would be interleague games going all the time. 90 series total. Either 1 or 3 series going on throughout the season. 3 x 20=60; 1 x 30=30 You play everyone in your own league 10 games = 140, 6 home/4 road vs 6 teams; 4 home/6 road vs 6 teams; 5 home/5 road vs 2 teams. Each team plays 18 interleague games, for a 158 game schedule. I don't like interleague, but it's not going away. Obviously, the natural rivalries would continue to play each other every year. Season would be 25 1/2 weeks=158 games in 178 days. At the end of the season, the 4 and 5 seeds play each other best of 3 to face the one seed. That would make teams really go for the one seed, since they'll be facing a team that really had to burn out their best pitchers to make it to the next round. The main reason why they should eliminate divisions is to free the Orioles and Blue Jays from the Yankees and Red Sox. Even the Rays could be returning to badness, so get them out of that division, and just make 5 out of 15 make the playoffs with basically a balanced schedule.

I'd settle for a 87-75 finish to get to .500 against AL teams. 7-3 the last 10 is something to play for. At least try to win some games at home next week to finish out the season.

Somebody let Jon Miller know that Twins series was here. ESPN's finest.

Season ovah. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb

Torre should head to his home in Hawaii and never look back. He's 70. It's time.

Should have got an out, and then drill Young. Not that wins and losses matter anymore.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) I'm going on Saturday night, and I'm treating it like the World Series. This was a fun team to watch for most of the summer, and they earned my respect. The Twins are just too damn good this year. The game is at 3:10 on Saturday. They changed it. The game Sunday is a night game now too for ESPN. That sucks this time of year.

vs Twins since Ozzie took over: 04 9-10 05 11-7 06 9-10 07 9-9 08 8-10 09 6-12 10 5-12 The last two years have been awful, but before that it's been more about timing than the final record. They own us in September.

Game 2 http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb

Sauer perfect through 5 innings.
