Anthony Carter finally got roughed up including a double to Harper, but struck out 2 more. Harper is at .353. He just turned 18. I think he's on the Nats before his 20th birthday.

Bryce Harper hit a homer. The Sox prospects are sitting today.

I don't know how anyone can say this World Series is "garbage" without one pitch being thrown yet. Seriously? It's baseball. They won the games fair and square to get there. To write it off before it even starts is exactly what the ESPNs of the world are training people to think---if the Yankees or Red Sox, or other east coast powers don't get there, it's not good enough. Well, f*** them. Enjoy the games no matter who is playing, and maybe they'll be great games. Maybe they'll be boring. Who knows? But to write off this series before it even starts...I really feel sorry for those people, because they don't remember a time when people weren't obsessed with a few teams and what a network's ratings are.

Mitchell 0-4. Had an assist. Anthony Carter doing well. 3 appearances. 3 innings. No hits. No walks. 7 K's.

Harper with a 2-RBI double. 1-4

Bryce Harper will be able to play tonight for Scottsdale. He can play on Wednesday's and Saturday's. Too bad he's such a douche, but it will be interesting to see what an 18-year-old can do against really good minor league pitching.

I really liked Mad Men. Guess I'm easily entertained. I thought this was a great season overall.

Mitchell 0-5, RBI, 7 LOB Escobar 2-3, 2B, BB Mabee 2.0, 4 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 0 K

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.
