boston/baltimore - lester/simon
tampa bay/ny yankees - price/undecided
atlanta/philadelpia - hudson/blanton
st. louis/houston - carpenter/myers

carpenter can put a shut out on the board. not good for atlanta.
but good news! philly did have hamels pitching in the final game,
but pulled him and put blanton on the mound.
big plus for atlanta. braves can hit him well.

boston and tampa, i don't know. maybe a toss up? i'm with boston though. crawford fan.

for the national league, i'm going with the winner between the braves and cardinals.
for the american league, i'm going with the tigers.

3,4,5 spots ... pujols, holliday, berkman. awesome!

espn and espn2 will show atlanta, boston, and st. louis games.

my nephew is playing fall baseball.
he plays for the giants lol. (lil extra info for atlast)

I dont ever remember a situation where the wildcard in both leagues was tied going into the last game of the season. Thats kind of cool.

Does anyone remember how they break ties if it ends up that way? I thought it was a 1 game playoff between the two contending teams but I'm not sure.
Someone told me the American league has a 1 game playoff while the National league uses a 3 game playoff.

It's kind of incredible to be in this position on the last day of the season.

One can only hope Lester fairs better today on 3 days rest than he has this month on 5 days rest. September hasnt been kind to him thus far. He is 0-3 with a 10.54 era and barely made it out of the 3rd inning in a few games.

But, such is the life of a BoSox fan.

How right you are! The morning shock jocks were talking about this while I was at the gym. MLB has actually scheduled tenative games. should tampa and boston have a tie breaker it will be a 4p game et at Tropicana field on Thursday

Thursday @ 8p et at Bush stadium (if needed) will be the Braves and the Cards.

All the way down to the wire!!!

sorry, typing on phone....what a mess....but you get the drift!
