QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 21, 2013 -> 01:28 AM) 18 innings and nearly 7 hours at the Trop probably qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment in some states despite the fact that it was a win against a Baltimore team that is nipping at TB's heels in the Wild Card race. Games like this kill both teams win or lose. And of course they have a day game today. The Indians are going to host the play-in game. Will they fill the park?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 09:03 PM) Reds/Pirates is a great game on MLBN right now Jordy Mercer isn't going to sleep tonight.

They better get 4.5 innings in.

John Danks is getting shut down too. Besides the home runs, I think he did ok this season. Hopefully next year he can get back to 32-33 starts and be better too.

Rienzo has been scratched and Axelrod will start. Finger issue.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) The final 2 episodes of Breaking Bad will be 75 minutes long, instead of 55 minutes long, which is awesome. So we get nearly 3 episodes worth, which will help bridge that time jump we are about to see. 75 minutes, including commercials. And normally this season, it's been 8-9:04....that's 64 minutes. So we're probably looking at an extra 6-8 minutes of actual show...but I'll take it.

Cubs are going to win one or two more games this season.

10 left. 2-8 to lose 100. I'd settle for 4-6.

4-7 the rest of the way. No better.

Twins go to Oakland for 4, then finish at home with Detroit for 3 and Cleveland for 4. Cubs have two more at Milwaukee, 3 at home vs Braves and Pirates, and 3 at Cardinals. 5th spot wouldn't be so bad, but I'd rather be 3rd.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 10:10 PM) You don't think the Sox will win the Axelrod/Scherzer match-up on Friday? When did that happen? Supposed to be Rienzo, Sale, and Johnson in Detroit. Quintana vs Toronto on Monday.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) If they end up tied with the Cubs, the Cubs get the higher pick, correct? Yep. If the Sox win tonight, our magic number stays 9, and the Cubs will be 14. Heck, the Sox could drop to 5th.

Sox will drop to 4th as the last blow of the season

Oh Smarge.

Cubs up 3-1, so that's good for us

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 01:11 PM) Mad Men will end in the Breaking Bad way. 7 episodes in 2014, last 7 in 2015. Ridiculous.

Alright Johnson, don't blow it. Get the beer ready.

Where's this team been all year?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 07:51 PM) It would be nice if the Cubs win 3 of 4 vs the Brewers Yes. It would basically be over if that happens and the Sox drop one of these three games.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 07:48 PM) Go Cubs! Sox 3rd Pick Magic Numbers: Cubs- 9 Twins- 8 Brewers-7

Glad the Sox lost and the Twins won yesterday. I have a feeling the Sox will sweep this series. But they'll still have a 3.5 game cushion for the 3rd pick with 10 games left.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 09:37 PM) I need a shrink after that episode. I seriously sat in my seat and didn't move an inch for the whole 48 minutes. Unreal show. Going to miss it.

They have to let Konerko go too. Great career, but he has no place on a team like this next year. Time to turn the page.

Southern League Champs.

Outscored 90-39 in the 12 game losing streak to the Indians.
