Assuming neither Toronto or Boston goes crazy in the offseason, I think they are both going to be pretty even teams next season. Toronto can add a FA to take Shea Hillenbrands money and hope AJ Burnett gets healthy. Boston will probably do some trading, but Beckett will be back and probably a bit better. It will be an interesting offseason in the AL East.

Lol, that is what I said when all of my Chicago friends were saying that to me.
The thing is, I haven't met a White Sox fan who is an ass hole really. Like, the guys that I meet love the White Sox, they cheer them on, but it's not irrational. They have conceded that the team kind of fell apart, didn't make bad excuses, just said "next year." I have to respect that, especially coming from a place with a lot of Cardinals fans. When St. Louis loses out on the playoffs, they are all going to be such ass holes and have so many excuses. I will document them on here when it happens. |

Cards fans can't get over the fact that they're no longer even remotely the best NL (let alone MLB) team anymore, despite still having the big names and the sunday night ESPN slots

Really? I heard stories when the Red Sox won the Series in St. Louis the Cardinals fans where like patting Red Sox fans on the back and shit. If St. Louis won the series in Boston, Cardinals fans would be getter there asses kicked on Lansdowne Street

The Cardinals fans have a reputation for being "great fans" in terms of at the games, like cheering for the other team on a good play and stuff, but people from St. Louis are really cocky and single-minded about their teams, and they are annoying as shit.

Yeah I noticed in Chicago people where like that when I was wearing a Red Sox shirt at a game. I dunno here its different, if you are wearing a shirt theres a good chance you'll have a few dudes telling you to fuck off. I dunno which one I like better either, like I guess first one is "more classy" but you are going to a baseball game - not church.

TBH, the only fans that piss me off are the fans that adopt a different team. Especially when there is a local team.
Like I went to a game at the Dome agaisnt the Red Sox, and there were people starting 'Lets go Red Sox' chants. I will give the benefit of a doubt and say that there are probably some people there who have real ties to New England, but there are so many who just jumped on the bandwagon after the World Series win. I mean come on, I have nothing against Red Sox fans who are real Red Sox fans, but if you are from western Wisconsin, Iowa, the Dakotas or Minnesota, you are a bitch. For some reason it just really pissed me off that Minnesotans would root for the away team. |

You should get Fifty Cent or somebody else who's black and pop-fashionable to wear a Twins jersey, you'd be a Charlotte Hornets-style hit overnight

I remember at Yankee Stadium for the '04 playoffs against the Sox we were sitting in the bleachers and there was 2 Red Sox fans where we were. And they were pretty much the only ones close to my section. Anyway, they got shit the whole game, it was non-stop for about 4 innings until they decided to move after then. I don't know, I would feel pretty weird wearing a Yanks shirt into Fenway and NOT having a bunch of people be assholes. |

The Twins have the same type of thing with Bartlett hitting ninth. I think it works though, because it balances out the back part of the lineup and doesn't really allow for an easy stretch.

13-1 ouch. Beckett and the BoSox got raped by the Devil Rays 11-0, now thats just plain silly.
I tipped the Braves for NL wildcard about 2 months ago ![]() Also, how the hell have we ended up with the best record in the Majors? Detroit and the Mets have both let it slide quite a bit in the second half. |

Towers contract wasn't awful. No one knew he was going to fall apart considering he put togerther 2 solid seasons before this year. I also suspect he'll rebound for next year.

A's are going with Zito games 1 and 5 instead of Harden. If they have to play Minnesota I can't see them winning without Harden going twice

Bud Selig Nervously Informs Ozzie Guillen That White Sox Aren't Making Playoffs
September 28, 2006 | Onion Sports CHICAGO—With the regular season winding down and the White Sox seven games out of first place, a sweating, visibly shaking Bud Selig entered Ozzie Guillen's office Monday to tell the notoriously proud, hot-tempered manager that his team had been eliminated from playoff contention. "Excuse me, Ozzie, or Mr. Guillen, whichever you prefer… Well, Mr. Guillen, sir, I'm afraid I need to tell you something, and well, it's about the whole October thing and the Twins and the Tigers and the playoffs start soon and…" the commissioner reportedly said before leaning on Guillen's desk and accidentally knocking over a picture frame and a can full of pencils. "The whole league, I just want you to know, we were all really pulling for you, really all year, just thought you were doing a tremendous job, and, well… Okay, well, I'm going to leave now. See you in… April, then?" Selig later announced that, due to a miscommunication, the White Sox would be facing the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs, and promised that he "will definitely make it up to the Tigers next year." |

Astros are 1/2 game back with Clemons going tonight. The Cards still have a game in hand and could play the Giants on Monday if needed.
I am going to be in Houston the 14th through the 20th (gf is moving back home, I will be following early next year), so I'm hoping to try to catch a game while I'm there. |
