Are people legitimately mad at the Royals right now? Give me a break. The Tigers are clinching on the night of their 87th win. The Sox have nobody to blame but themselves.

How many innings does Peavy go tomorrow? 4?

Late night baseball may eliminate the Angels and Rays. If the A's win tonight, they clinch at least a wild card spot. Yankees will have a 1 game lead with 2 left over the O's.

Error scores the Tigers 3rd run. It's ovah.

Pressure's off.

Looks very good tonight......although it is the Tribe. 4 lefties will be battling next season. Sale Danks Santiago Q I would imagine we keep 3 of 4 in the rotation. I'm going out on a limb, and predict Quintana is involved in a package trade this offseason.

Radar looks bad maybe an hour from now. Fitting end to the season.

Just think...six months from today, Royals at White Sox. 0-1.

AL East- Loser plays in the Wild card game. Bal 92-67 at TB NY 92-67 vs Bos AL West- Tex 93-66 Oak 91-68 Oakland has to sweep them to win the West AL Wildcard- Bal/NY 92-67 +1 Oak 91-68 -- LAA 88-71 3.0 TB 88-71 3.0 For a 3-way tie for the 2nd wild card: Angels need to sweep the Mariners. Rays need to sweep the Orioles. Rangers need to sweep the A's.

I'm done with this after this... Final 54 games, with 3 left: Sox 23-28 (suck) Det 28-23 (respectable)

Cespedes homer to take a 3-2 in the 8th. Remarkable season for the A's.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:13 PM) I have to think this isn't the last we see of AJ Rays at the Cell next May 2.

Dunn can go 0-10 and stay at .200. He should be safe.

I didn't think Reed would end up with an ERA near 5. He'll get better, I think.

Is it true that Konerko didn't want to have that wrist bone chip taken care of over the last couple years because he wouldn't be able to play golf and hockey in the offseason?

The problem with Dunn and Konerko, is they're asking them to be 3-4 hitters, when they should be 5-6 hitters on a good team.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Detroit up 2.5 now. Thanks for the update.

Oh look, Adam Dunn struck out.

Going to the bottom of the 9th. 2-1 Det

Twins threaten, don't score

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) Texas-Yankees Wild Card game would be awesome It would be unbelievable if the Rangers don't make it to the AL final 4. They have been a lock all season. It's amazing all of these AL teams are taking care of business down the stretch.

If the Angels win twice today, and the A's win, the A's will be one game behind Texas with 3 left....and then they play each other 3 games in Oakland. The Rangers-A's season series is at 8-8, so that could turn into a 4-game series.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) Dunn hitless this series. 1-20 since his dramatic home run. He has a chance to finish up under .200! You know if the Sox are eliminated, and Dunn is at .200, his season will end right there.

That's what the Orioles get. Torii!!

Orioles about to clinch a playoff berth with an Angels loss. I'm sorry, but the locker room celebrations should only be for division winners and the Wild Card game winners. Trout up with 2 on.
