September 19, 201114 yr And that's an Orioles winner! Lead down to 1 1/2 games. And the Adam Dunn version of pitching, John Lackey, is going for Boston in game 2.
September 19, 201114 yr QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) I want to revel in this, but can't until Tampa is ahead. Very true. This does bring back horrific memories of our near September collapse in '05. I'd gloss over and enjoy any Red Sox message board you can find and at least revel in their current misery.

I'd gloss over and enjoy any Red Sox message board you can find and at least revel in their current misery. Big, big difference though. Through September 19th in 05 the White Sox were 10 and 8 in that month, the Bo Sox are 4 and 14 right now this month. We weren't collapsing, the Indians just weren't losing, Boston on the other hand is in a free fall at the moment. Lets hope it continues!
September 19, 201114 yr Boston already down, but they're facing Matusz, who's had just about as bad of a year as you can have.
September 19, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) Matusz is terrible! Wtf happened to him?
September 19, 201114 yr Everytime I have watched a Pence AB the past two weeks, I dont think I have seen him make an out.
September 20, 201114 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) Everytime I have watched a Pence AB the past two weeks, I dont think I have seen him make an out. Can't stress enough how happy I am he's out of Houston. What he's doing now shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that's consistently watched him play (have seen plenty of him over the years whenever Houston played the Cubs).
September 20, 201114 yr Marlins walk off the Braves. We gotta race in the NL wildcard... Atl 87-67 - Stl 84-69 2.5 SF 83-70 3.5 Braves: 2 at Fla 3 at Was 3 vs Phi Cardinals: 3 vs NY 3 vs Chi 3 at Hou Giants: 3 at LA 3 at Arz 3 vs Col Edited September 20, 201114 yr by flavum
September 20, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) Mike Stanton with two cheap homers tonight Still wouldn't trade Ozzie for him.

I remember when KW tried to get him (+ another player and spect) for Garland, but the Stros GM wanted to part with Tavares instead at the time. Oh, what could of been.. (then again.. who knows how'd he fare in the AL and with Walker)
September 20, 201114 yr QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:54 AM) Congrats to Mariano Rivera on breaking the saves record. Hopefully he saves a ton more, because no other closer deserves to be close to him.
September 20, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 07:09 PM) lol@Craig Kimbrel. My f***ing god. This guy is stupid f***ing good. No one chimes in when Kimbrel blows a save in a game the Braves really needed?
September 20, 201114 yr I bet the cubs f*** the cardinals up The cards should easily go 7-2 at worst.
September 21, 201114 yr Papelbon gives up 3 runs and the lead in the top of the 8th. Sawks have dropped 2/3 to the O's. Unfortunate about what happened in NY. Could have been a thing. Edited September 21, 201114 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
September 21, 201114 yr Rays miss an opportunity to move closer. Red Sox and Braves may both make it, but I wouldn't put money on either making it out of the first round. Edited September 21, 201114 yr by flavum
September 21, 201114 yr Theriot puts the Cards on top with a double, more runs added afterwards 11-6 Cards. I think I'd be more surprised at a wildcard berth for the Cards than I would be for the Rays. Still hoping SF wins that division so I won't have to see Diamondbacks baseball in October. Don't know what it is about that, but I would rather watch post-elimination teams than the division leading D-Backs. Edited September 21, 201114 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft

September 21, 201114 yr Here's some crazy trivia sure to make Jordan4Life happy: Kershaw and Lincecum have faced each other 4 times this season, with Kershaw winning all 4 times. And in those four games, courtesy of ESPN: "Lincecum's ERA in those four starts was 1.24. Kershaw's was 0.30. And that, as Robert Frost once wrote, has made all the difference, especially given that the Dodgers won those games by scores of 2-1, 1-0, 2-1 and 2-1." That's pretty amazing. Kershaw is now 20-5 on the year, with a 2.27 ERA, 0.99 Whip, and 242/52 strikeouts/walks. Does he win the Cy over Halladay or Lee?? Edited September 21, 201114 yr by smalls2598
