October 3, 201213 yr Texas blows a two run read and it looks like they are going to somehow blow the division. Down 8 to 5 in the sixth. Baltimore and New York go later
October 3, 201213 yr Oakland is full of so many "Who?'s" it's ridiculous. Besides Cespedes and maybe Reddick, it's a team of nobodies and they are getting it done. Pretty impressive, I must say.

I typically haven't been a fan of the A's... but after back to back WS losses I've had enough of the Rangers.
October 3, 201213 yr Barring a Rangers comeback, this would be the 3rd time in MLB history a team only spent 1 day alone in 1st, the last day of the season. 2006 Twins & 1951 Giants
October 3, 201213 yr If the Yankees win, the Orioles will be playing to win to host the Rangers on Friday. If the Yankees win and the Orioles lose, the Rangers will host the Orioles. Edited October 3, 201213 yr by flavum
October 3, 201213 yr QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 05:48 PM) The A's crowd was awesome! I'll be rooting for them after that f*** them, they don't bother to show up for the other 80 games. Their attendance is worse than the White Sox!

Well, I obviously have no one to root for and that was just an awesome display of awesomeness...As a hardcore (music) fan seeing the whole crowd hardcore dancing was just an awesome sight to see. Theyre also a pretty good story.
October 3, 201213 yr Here's another flaw in the system... If the Yankees lose, the A's and Yankees will both be 94-68. They were 5-5 against each other, so then it goes to divisional record. Here's the problem...the A's only play 57 division games, while the Yankees play 72 games. So if the Yankees lose (and the Orioles lose), the division records are: A's: 33-24 (.579) Yankees: 40-32 (.556) I'm rooting for the Yankees and Orioles tonight, and hope the O's beat the Rangers on Friday.

Does game 163 count as part of your record ?
October 3, 201213 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) Does game 163 count as part of your record ? No, but that's another story. Now that teams can lose divisions in 163, but still revert back to their 162-game record for a wild card tie breaker, I think they should just consider anything past Game 162 as postseason baseball. The stats should based on 162 for every team. So the Orioles and Yankees could be at 94-68 after tonight, but the winner of tomorrow's tie-breaker would be notated as "winner of tie-breaker game". And the loser would play Texas.
October 4, 201213 yr Looks like Hellickson has it going, and the Orioles will be the 5-seed, and Yankees will beat the Red Sox.... If it holds, Friday- 4PM-- Cardinals at Braves 7PM-- Orioles at Rangers A's at Tigers on Saturday Reds at Giants on Saturday Yankees at Wild Card winner on Sunday Nationals at Wild Card winner on Sunday
October 4, 201213 yr Pods getting acquainted with the Yankee Stadium wall on a nice grab. The grindiness of Rowand and Erstad from 6 years ago is stronger than the force. Francona in the booth for this one- he must be beaming on this inside to be there. Edited October 4, 201213 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
October 4, 201213 yr A's are incredibly hot right now, gonna be a tough task for Detroit. Also Oakland has a better record than Detroit, why do they have to go on the road to start?

They had no time to make it 2-2-1 this year. Edited October 4, 201213 yr by justBLAZE
