Sounds like Mo getting an inning in CF isn't going to happen. Knee is bothering him, plus Houston has that hill in center field. So that means his career is officially done, he's already said he's not pitching as he wanted Thursday's game to be his last moment on the mound.
Bet he gets one final "moment" next year. I'd guess he's the odds-on favorite to toss out the first pitch on Opening Day. |

5 meaningful games today. The Indians clinch a WC berth and home field for the one game playoff with a win. An Indians loss and wins by the Rays and Rangers brings about the 3-way tie scenario mentioned on the last page. Would LOVE to see that happen as it means extra baseball.
In the NL, all eyes are on Atlanta and St. Louis. Cardinals clinch the 1 seed with a win or Braves loss. Braves win the 1 seed with a win and Cardinals loss. |

Henderson Alvarez throws a no-hitter, Marlins score on a walk off wild pitch in the bottom of the 9th to make it official.

J.P Arencibia finishes with a .194 batting average. Finished even below the .195 mark I predicted.

Indians clinch the 4th seed. 21-6 in September. With all due respect to John Farrell, Francona has to be manager of the year.

While I'm hoping for an offensive overhaul this offseason I think d'Arnaud will be the primary catcher next year. Let him learn and bat 7th or something. Hopefully the Mets will get enough offense this offseason to justify it. |

Rangers came back from the brink of collapse and force a tiebreaker game tomorrow against the Rays for the other wild card spot.
I'm down for game 163. |

Insane stuff. The surviving team will have used their first and second best pitcher before the ALDS even begins in Boston.

So neither of my World Series teams even made the playoffs and one of them finished under .500 (Angels, had the Nationals in the NL). I only picked 2 correct division winners (Dodgers and Tigers) and 5 playoff teams overall (Braves, Reds, and I'm covered with either the Rays or Rangers).
I sure do know how to pick 'em. |

Today is the official Pittsburgh Pirate BLACKOUT day! If you are going to or watching the game wear black in support of the Bucs!
Wild Card Day #1 = biggest day of the year for me this year. (sad?) Enjoy the game everyone! |

I'm a Reds fan before a Bucs fan. Not that I'm a Reds fan. Know what I'm saying?

I have been a die hard Pirates fan since the early 1980's. I also support the Reds and Indians (being the other "home turf" teams).
I have seen 1 game in Cleveland and have never visited the Reds Great American Ballpark. I have been to Three Rivers Stadium over 15 times and PNC Park about 15 already. I will support the Reds when the Pirates are doing awful (aka last year and the previous 20) but when it comes down to it..at the end of the day....The Pirates were my first and most important love. It's not a bad thing to support more than 1 team especially when your "real" favorite team is on a 20 year skid..... To answer you in short..yes I remember when I was a Reds fan last year ![]() |
