Unreal...Willie Randolph has to be laughing his head off...Brewers get the wild card for first time since 1982..Brewcrew goes...Mets total collapse again...
AL: Tampa Bay, East champ (97-65)
Red Sox, wild card (94-66 for now, pending outcome
of doubleheader)
1 game playoff to determine AL Central? If White Sox
lose, Min. wins (make up game Chi-Det tomorrow)
Angels won west
NL: Phils win east, Mets eliminated
Central won by Cubs, w/ Brewers (The Team That Made
Milwaukee famous?) getting wild card
West: Manny and the Dodgers
Cubs vs. Dodgers
White Sox or Twins vs. Devil Rays
Angels vs. White Sox
Brewers vs. Phillies
I have the Yanks-Sox game on right now..bases loaded...Damon just walked...Cabrera up...A-Rod on deck
Just Damn.
What’s with the NY teams? With the Yankees it’s obviously the curse of Hillary but why are the Mets out?
Congrats on your Brewers...C.C. 3 games in 9 days..complete game today...they better offer him the deal of his life in the off season or Cashman will be going for him like gangbusters.
Both teams had big pitching issues that cost them the post-season. If it weren’t for the fluke of a season by the Rays...the Yankees would be in with the wild card. The Rays lucked out big because they started falling apart in the last week.
6-2 Yanks now; sigh, #20 for the Mouse, er, Moose...
A horrible ending - as one sign said “you gotta bereave”, but then again, “there’s no crying in Baseball.”
Chi-town still has a chance for a triple play - Cubs and White Sox in the series, and their community organizer Obama in the White House. I wouldn’t mind seeing the first event, but God save this Republic if the second comes to be.
LOL...I like Curt. Pap is being rocked in the 9th...Yanks up 6-2..A-Rod knocks another run in.
LOL...Mussina has never had a 20 game season...good for him...you can tell the Sox just want this double header over. I know rain is forecast again in about 3 hours so they better wrap this one up soon.
(cue Dropkick Murphys, “Shipping Up to Boston”):
This Papelbon mound meltdown brought to you by
the Prime Motor Group.
In past years Yankees fans would chant “1918” when they played the Sox. While watching the game at the 99 just now,
I saw some people holding up signs reading “2000” just
before home plate.
The curse of the pantsuit lady.. lives.
(behind, that should say)
What’s the chance tonight’s Sox-Yankees nightcap will look
like Pawtucket vs. Wilkes-Barre (or whomever Yanks AAA
team is) with re: to lineup...
We are sitting here at home yelling and screaming in joy!!!!
Go Phils!!!!!!!!!!
In no particular order: their bullpen is terrible, the Phillies are in their heads, too many egos not playing as a team.
I need A-Rod and Abreu and Damon to get at least 2-3 A/B’s for Fantasy reasons. That is all I ask...take them out in the 6th or 7th. I also have Ponson pitching for me. Pap’s is on my fantasy team as well and just destroyed my ERA for the day...it is so close right now..every strike out and every run/rbi counts.
I also have Ortiz...give him a few swings tonight as well...at least!
