Aka last Wednesday

4-way tie scenario: Yankees (1-2 at Tor, 1-2 vs TB) Red Sox (2-1 at Bal, 1-2 at Was) Blue Jays (2-1 vs NY, 2-1 vs Bal) Mariners (2-1 vs Oak, 3-0 vs LAA)

Rays 1-seed magic number over Astros is 1 Astros 2-seed magic number over Sox is 3 Red Sox/Yankees loser tonight is the 2nd WC, Blue Jays 1 back, Mariners 2 back, A’s 3 back

Braves magic number 5 going into the home series vs Phillies.

Giants 2 game lead with 6 left. Both teams home the final week.

Astros may be losing 4 in a row today. Something the Sox haven’t done since June. As much as they’ve had frustrating games, the Sox didn’t let it get out of hand in the second half.

Giolito got pretty bad run support this year.

There we go. Nice hit by Yaz.

Wonder how many lead off walks TA has over the last few years. Make em pay.

5-2 the rest of the way. Let’s go. Get used to winning games!

Rays 1-seed magic number on Astros is 3 Astros 2-seed magic number on Sox is 3 AL wildcard- Yankees and Red Sox tied for the two spots. Game would be in Boston. Blue Jays 2 back, Mariners 3 back after their game is over.

Braves were down to their last out. Passed ball, base hit ties it. Phillies fans are not happy. If the Braves lose, it’s a half game lead. Phillies in Atlanta on Tuesday.

I was just explaining why it hasn’t been the same since the Blackout Game 9/30/08. I’m sure it will will be every bit as cool this year, and be a valued tradition for years to come.

It’s not an error. One is just division standings and elimination numbers. The other is just wildcard standings and elimination numbers.

Rays 1-seed magic number on Astros is 5, Astros 2-seed magic number on White Sox is 4. AL Wildcard- Bos +1, NY —, Sea and Tor -2

Giants 100-54

It just isn’t the same effect when it’s short sleeves and it’s a day game. Bottom line, Sox should stop trying to recreate the Blackout Game. It’s not going be the same.

Agreed. They tried to keep it going in 08 vs TB, and it failed because it was too warm out and they were day games.

Giants finish with the Padres. Hopefully they clinch before game 162. Definitely want LA on the brink of elimination in the WC game.

Ronny Gonzalez. Wtf?

The Astros losing last night was pretty big for them in their pursuit for the top seed. Sox will more than likely be there in two weeks. That said, I would prefer the Rays for no other reason than I hate the Astros and don’t want to watch them play the Sox unless it’s the ALCS.

AL Wildcard with 9 left- Bos 88-65 (vs NY, at Bal, at Was) NY 86-67 (at Bos, at Tor, vs TB) Tor 85-68 (at Min, vs NY, vs Bal) Sea 84-69 (at LAA, vs Oak, vs LAA)

Gonna be wild when it’s a Mariners- White Sox ALCS, and Cardinals-Braves NLCS.

Sox vs Cle 5-5 at home 3-3 there. Play for something this weekend.

Oh yeah, that team. just throw middle-middle fastballs and end it.
