Orioles could have rain issues today too.

QUOTE (MAX @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) Game is on TBS if anyone is unaware. cool. thanks.

1-0 Angels, b 1

My official forecast: Game starts in a delay, but they start around 2 and no more delays after that. Edit: ok, maybe 3pm

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.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 03:53 AM) I have the 7 DVD set. Games 1-4 of the WS. Game 5 against the Angels and game 3 against the Red Sox + the2005 WS bonus DVD. Also have my own DVD I made of the parade and switching channels to ESPN and as many reports/stories of the Sox winning it all as possible. I have all 12 postseason games on VHS tapes that I still need to convert to DVDs. But I have the boxed set and the other two discs that were released too.

Rays win again. 70-55. Cobb shut out the A's. 2nd wildcard: Bal 67-57 - Det 67-57 - Oak 67-57 - LAA 65-60 2.5

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Not enough innings and in the eyes of the voters he is a afterthought right now. He is in the team picture, but not getting the respect the other pitchers are. He's got 7 more starts. 8 if it goes to 163. He's facing Verlander twice, at least. If he dominates the rest of the season, he's winning the Cy. He probably will have a bad start or two and Price or Verlander or weaver will get it. But let's not write Sale off. He's very much in the hunt for that award. But again, I'd rather he win World Series MVP.

Leyland made it official...Verlander moved up to Tuesday, then next Sunday night against the Sox vs Chris Sale. Breaking Bad will have to wait an hour.

Gets to face Zach Stewart in his first game.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) What does the -1 mean? How did a sweep of NYY result in -1 of anything? Collectively, it's what they have to do to get to 91 wins. So if the Sox do what's below the line, they'll only win 90 games, which makes them -1. Tigers have done what they're supposed to, so they are Even. I have the Tigers going 24-14 the rest of the way, including 4-3 against the Sox. Hopefully we do better than that.
