BASEBALL!

Well my apologies to the red sox fans. The inevitable yearly blow up has occured. Rays are now only 2 back from the wild card spot with 10 games left. We may just pull it off. I'd really love to see another ALS championship. At this point for me the world series would be wonderful but beating the Yankees is magnificient.

My spouse is the grandchild of someone who played for the Tigers a zillion years ago and is getting us tickets to the playoffs. I'm pretty stoked about that. We'll get tickets to the World Series also if the Tigers make it - so I'm pulling for them.

(Although I am a Jays fan by nature of geography.)

KEWL!!!

Hey, the Jays have been doing quite well, too!

I don't know if I can stand the giants being back in contention for the play-offs or not- really is torture- they have to keep up the winning streak! Plus, other teams must lose (they have been). On pins and needles.

Tomorrow we start the last series vs the Dodgers and Kershaw is pitching. Of course, our "Timmy" is too- but the Dodgers have actually had a good month.

The tale of two teams continues. The Diamnond backs beat the SuckO's 1 to nothing. At least it wasn't batting practice like they were having at the hands of the Dodgers.

So ATLAST, the mathematicians who crunch baseball numbers seem to think the Giants can win the Division by 1.5 games TODAY, but they are counting on two wins from the SuckO's. (Pirates)....OMG, this is heart attack time in your race. If You're count on the Pirates to be spoilers....
because unless the Braves have a total melt down, they have wild card pretty wrapped up.

Whats happening in the AL.....(looking at Google)WOW, I need to be looking at this every day! New York Yankees are 5 games ahead of the Bo Sox

We know the Tigers are magnificent, 13 games ahead of Cleveland....

Rangers are 5 up on the Angels (I don't think I ever saw an Angels game)

Wild card in the AL is tight/ Bo sox are holding tight for the lead at 88 and 68, Tampa bay right behind them at 85 and 67 they are calling that a 2 game advantage.

Tonights games......Pittsburgh (aka SuckO's) vs Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay and the NY Yankees, (mmm that'll be a good game it's on sun sports and My9)@19:05 EST Giants and Toronto, Baltimore and Boston, Atlanta and Marlins.......

I want the BoSox to get with it!! What is going on?? It is hard for me because my AL favorite are the BoSox, but I see Detroit as a good bet to take it all (even if my giants are in it again). Verlander is something- but the whole team is a good balance together. I'm really a NL person, though.

Oh- yes, every SF game now is torture- and I have to admit, I wish the Dbacks were playing another team right now!! But, AZ has been playing some very good ball all season really and they have a lot of heart. Lot of talent too.

Mainly, I want SF to get in the play offs. I love them, but I don't know if they are WS material this time. Although, they have been playing smart. But so many key players are out with injuries and although the rookies called up plus Keppinger and Beltran have been contributing this month, I don't know if they have the stuff again.

Kershaw is having a fine year and is a hell of a pitcher for LA. But he is going up against Lincecum tonight and like most of SF's starters, his win record has been screwed up due to the Giants lack of (and inconsistent) offense. The guy is a two time Cy Young winner. But, it looks like kershaw is in the Cy Young running very strongly in the NL. The kid is only 22!! A lot of poise out there on such a young guy. Actually, I would so love to see him in a SF uniform within a couple of years!!

Damn, I wish I could get more of the games of these other teams that all of you like! I hear blurbs on the sports shows about the Jays, BoSox, and the Rays but I wish I could catch a couple of full games. Hell, I usually have insomnia- I could watch at 2-3 am!! But, I will get to see them in the play-offs.

I LOVE this time of the year!! Give me October!!!

Thanks for the game info- now I gotta go watch my guys.. and hope Lincecum has his stuff. And the bats continue to hit!!
