Angels are a crapshoot with the Yankees. Both teams know how to play each other. It would come down to Santana/Nova game.

Bronson Arroyo gave up 4 home runs tonight to up his season total to 44. That's 5th all time. He's got an outside chance of tying the record but it'll take some hard work on his part.

I will be pulling for the Tigers and Diamondbacks in the playoffs. Fucking love Verlander, and the D-Backs are just a great story overall.
Once we reach the point in the year where teams start clinching their divisions, I reminisce about 2006. Only time in my life I could celebrate a division title, just a great feeling after such a long season. Prolly not much chance of it happening again until 2014 or so once the Phillies are old and broken down and the Mets young players have got some years under their belts. |

I love Bartolo Colon, but I think it's safe to say his luck has run out as a Starter.

Honestly can't wait for Chipper Jones to never play baseball again. There may never have been a player who ALWAYS comes through in a big spot vs. a given team.

If I'm a Tigers fan, I'm praying Valverde blows a save before the season ends. Otherwise he's pretty much a lock to blow one in the playoffs. I know that Lidge pulled it off in 2008, but it just seems hard to fathom that it would happen again so soon.

BoSox lose again and the Rays close the wild card gap to 3 games. Yankees magic number is down to 5.

![]() Thank God they took the 2nd game or else it would have been a 4-game sweep because the Rays played tough for every game but instead just 2 games shaved off instead of going to 3rd place. |

Mets give Tim Byrdak a contract for 2012. I'm happy with that. He's one of about three relievers I could justify the Mets bringing back next year with Manny Acosta and Daniel Ray Herrera. Sadly Parnell will be back too I'm sure.

Brandon Morrow decided to bring his A game and throw 8 shutout innings against the Yankees. Grrrrrrr.
Wonder if Girardi will be smart tomorrow and give Rivera the day off. Can't see him getting the record is Burnett on the bump. |

Probably. Granderson is hitting nowhere near .300, Jose Bautista and Adrian Gonzalez have cooled off a bit, so...Verlander may take it.
It's as if no matter what team he's facing, it's a sure thing he'll win. Incredible. The Tigers may be the most feared team in the AL come the Playoffs. CC Sabathia has been known to get hit around at times. |

If Verlander can get 25 wins then he definitely deserves MVP.

Congrats to The Sandman. The best closer in the business.
Boston goes down again. Rays can catch up and possibly pass tomorrow. |

It helps that the other possible contenders could also be splitting the vote because of their teammates. Ellsbury's great year will take potential votes away from A-Gon and Granderson's stats are too similar to Tex's stats so a split is possible in votes.
Verlander has been amazing this year that while most pitchers probably have 1/4 - 1/3 of their starts be no decisions, just 4 of his games (12%) are no decisions this year so he gets a result almost every time. |

Happy that the Sox are overshadowing the Braves' epic collapse. Glad I haven't felt like watching them recently. Probably watched 80% of their games this year, so I'm due for a little break. And if they miss the post-season, I won't care much. They don't have much of a shot.

Starlin Castro needs 1 hit for 200 hits in a season. Pretty amazing considering he's only 21. This kid had a serious chance at being one of the greats.

I would love nothing more than for the Os beating the Red Sox and knocking them out, and if they can pull out this one tonight (4-4 in the 7th) taking 3 out of 4 from the Red Sox in Fenway would go a long way towards that..

Now that we know Aramis is jewing out of his contract, I don't see why the Cubs wouldn't bring Josh Vitters up and see what he has in the majors. It just make s sense unless Quade is trying to pad his wins and save his job.

Letting Vitters get 2 weeks worth of at bats isn't going to show anyone what he has in the majors. There's no reason to pull him up.

Boston is half way to the collapse. Yanks win both games of the doubleheader and won the AL East.
Angels caught up to the Rays. It's gonna be interesting! |

I think the Sox will pull it out, but barely. They caught a huge break with the Rays dropping 2 games.
Either way, the Sox and Braves are looking a lot like the 2007 Mets right now in the ways tha they lose. They'll be undeserving even if they make it in...I'd be licking my chops to play them in the first round. |
