Finally got one against the Yankees

 

[green73]

Go Brewers! Booo Cardinals.

Holy Cow the Marlins are just a total mess. Ozzie Guillen bashing the owner openly and rumors swirling that he will be fired. Talk that the GM is gone, offseason plans to move some of their multi million dollar players that they just acquired this offseason and now Heath Bell bashing Ozzie Guillen in the media and calling him two faced and untrustworthy. I bet the atmosphere in that clubhouse is something to behold.

Let's get this offense jumpstarted, O's! We're not in the playoffs yet!

 

[oyarde]

Yeah Baby , three extra innings games in the last five , finally won one tonight! , 2 1/2 game lead on the wicked Angels and 9 to go , 87 wins !!

 

[Indy Vidual]

Go Brewers! Booo Cardinals.

Miracles are fun, but it's pretty much over now.

 

[BamaAla]

Braves wrapped up tonight with a big Freeman homer! Freddi G. has talked about playing to win the division, but I expect to see some rest and rotation work being 4 back with 8 to play.

 

[oyarde]

Two in a row, five runs today in the top of the first , sweet

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Giants!

 

[oyarde]

Hell , we hit five home runs today and still lost ....

 

[newbitech]

Best Night Ever! Thanks O's!

Tiger's Doug Fister breaks the AL record for consecutive strike outs. Tiger's are now up a game and a half over the White Sox. Go Detroit!

 

[TCE]

Wondering if there will be strong rhetoric on the White Sox collapse. The Pirates obviously fell much farther from grace, but the White Sox were up 3 games with 16 to go including six games against the Indians. Wow.

 

[oyarde]

After 8 Inning, my guys , up 8 - 2 , started the game with alead off home run , I think , I wasworking.

Is this the thread where we talk about how the Cards rock?

 

[oyarde]

Who are they ?

 

[BamaAla]

Is this the thread where we talk about how the Cards rock?

No. This is the thread where we talk about how the Cards will play a total of 1 playoff game this October.

No. This is the thread where we talk about how the Cards will play a total of 1 playoff game this October.

As a Braves fan, does it irritate you a lot that the Braves will have to play in a one-game playoff (essentially a crapshoot in baseball) against a team that finished 7 or 8 games back of them?

I mean, as an O's fan, I'm miffed that we might have the same situation, but we don't have nearly the lead that you guys do.

Yes it does. You're right, this situation sucks. We are 7 games up on the Cards and are 5-1 against them head to head this season yet we have to have a play in game against them. Not a fan.

My guys put up 5 runs in the ninth and tenth inning last night to secure win # 90 , tied 2 - 2 right now.
