YESSSSSSS Mets finally get their revenge for 2006, scoring 6 runs in the 9th inning to beat the Cards with Yadier Molina recording the final out.

Colon is out of gas. Might as well stick him in the bullpen for the remainder of the season. Doctor Proctor ain't doing any favors tonight as well.
Tampa Bay is going to get within 1.5 of Boston tonight. |

Rumor has it that the Sox tried to make a push to acquire Chris Capuano to make one start against the Yankees this weekend. It fell through. Doubtful that they really offered anything, so with the outside chance that Capuano winds up being a Type B free agent in an off-season with horrendous starting pitching it makes sense for the Mets to hold onto him. Could also see him being brought back next year.

Not surprised because Tito and everyone else has zero confidence in the entire pitching staff. Even Buccholz was rumored to be coming back for at least short-pen relief but nobody seriously thinks that will occur unless the playoff round.
Not counting the horrible errors (23 in last 21 innings), hitting-wise the team is doing better than last month but the ERA from the pitching staff almost eats away any runs scored (5-6 ERA vs 6-7 Runs per game). Crawford also finally got around to playing great for long stretch of time since he's the #1 batter in MLB for the month of September in terms of potential playoff teams. |

If only the Os could play June-August like they do in April,May and September they'd be a decent team.
I suppose a bright spot is that they have 66 wins which is how many they had last year with 5 more to play and they haven't won 70 games since 2006. |

Leo Nunez admits to playing under an assumed name. His real name is Juan Carlos Oviedo and he's 29, a year older than he's listed at. He's been sent back to the Domincan Republic and there's a decent chance that he won't be allowed back into America again.

A little news in the ongoing Dodgers saga.
MLB lawyers have asked a Delaware judge to force the sale of the Dodgers. It's also been learned that Frank McCourt is now trying to auction off the TV rights without MLB permission, which can lead to the team being expelled from the league. |

Angels can put the pressure on tonight. |

Athletics three outs away from clinching the West for the Rangers. 3 clinchers in one night.
Looks like both Wild Cards could still be set by the time the weekend is up. Definitely hope at least one of them drags out, otherwise the last 3 days of the season will have pointless baseball across the board for the first time in quite awhile. |

It's nice to see the Brewers and D'Backs back in the Playoffs. They, along with the Rangers, bring a certain excitement to the Postseason that I really enjoy. Maybe it's because they're young teams, or because you don't always see them in the Playoffs...IDK...but I think it's awesome.

In a potentially controversial move, Jim Leyland has said that Verlander will not pitch in Game 4 of the ALDS no matter what the series is at that point. If they are down 2-1 and DON'T pitch Verlander I think that would be completely retarded...dude is having one of the best seasons in a long, long time. But Leyland's always come across as a stubborn guy who will go out of his way to go against public opinion.

He's already pitched 250 innings. You can't risk a guys career in a first round match up.

Again, he's already pitched 250 innings. Throwing him out there on 3 days rest in a divisional series when you're going to have to win another game anyways in stupid. If the Tigers can't find 1 more pitcher to win a game then they deserve to lose.

Dunno. Think I'd rather start Verlander and Fister a second time than have to see Porcello or Penny take the field in a must-win game against the Yankees. Hopefully they can do their job the first go around so they won't even need to worry about throwing Verlander early.

Quote:
He figures Game 5 is more important than a Game 4 and if done correctly, he can have Verlander available in a potential Game 7 of the ALCS with normal rest than overusing him similar to Cliff Lee being tired by the time of the World Series last year or David Price with the Rays a few years back. Sabathia was the only one in recent years to pull off a whole playoff run on very short rest but it also helped all the delayed games that year and other questionable calls. |

Os just pulled off a suicide squeeze in the 9th to take back the lead 6-5.
Haven't seen a suicide squeeze in a while, most of the Os can't bunt worth a crap. |
