Just eye-balling the radar, I don't see how they're going to avoid another rain delay. Hopefully they get 5 in with a lead, and let it rain.

Orioles rained out. Could be Tillman tomorrow.

If 89 is still the number for the 2nd wildcard, the Angels would have to go 23-11. Not likely.

Tigers win 5-2. Scherzer is in a groove.

Valverde hitting Hunter to lead off is a good sign, I guess. Blow a 4-run lead please.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) My official forecast: Game starts in a delay, but they start around 2 and no more delays after that. Edit: ok, maybe 3pm Yeah, b****es!!

Tarp coming off. 3pm start.

It'll be at least another hour.

Orioles could have rain issues today too.

1-0 Angels, b 1

Cabrera is on the bench today.

With the Orioles still not announcing a rotation for the Sox series, there's a good possibility they are trading for Joe Saunders, who has been scratched from his Dbacks start today. edit: and now it's official. Saunders to Baltimore.

70-55. How about we get to 80 wins before 60 losses?

Viciedo scratched. Danks batting 8th.

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 03:26 PM) 85.1% chance of making the playoffs according to ESPN. Not a fan of that stat because that includes just getting to the wild card game, which to me, isn't making the playoffs. The Sox are 72.3% to win the division. http://www.coolstandings.com/baseball_stan...sn=2012&i=1

If the Sox win tonight, tomorrow it's Olmedo/Danks/Flowers time. Probably is either way.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 03:08 PM) If two teams finish with the same record for the second wild card spot, do they play 1 playoff game to play 1 playoff game? Yes.

A's take 2/3 at Tampa Bay.

It's still August.

BTW, is the non-waiver trade deadline the most overrated thing ever?

Padres must love seeing Gonzalez back in the division. Also, Carl Crawford was never a good fit in Boston--he never hit in Fenway. He should be on the Angels right now.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 09:31 AM) I've checked ESPN, MLB and sportingnews dot coms and am seeing nothing that says this is a done deal. Is it a done deal and is there an up do date link if it is? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

Went to my first game this season last night...wow. Just wow. We'll take it.
