Goddamn these Interleague schedules are wild. The Red Sox's second-last series of the season is a 2-game series in Colorado. :lol

LOL! Now I know you are just trolling. Phils had the best record the last 2 seasons and the best record this year since August. The only time the Nats had more talent was when they Phils were playing their AAA team before Howard and Utley came back. Phils have a better pitching staff for sure now that Strats is home chilling, and the lineup are really close.
30 runs a game.
EDIT: lol, just saw the Reds opening day is an interleague game. They really like to fuck with tradition, don't they?

Yeah Dominican Power that is exactly the pitch I was thinking of. Man the Phillies got so lucky with getting him. They have given up the most 8th inning runs this year. If they had just called him up early they would already have a wild card spot.
These schedules are really strange. The Reds play two at home vs. Cleveland, then two on the road in Cleveland in back to back series. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

Yeah, every "rivalry" series will be like that now. What I don't get is why the Dbacks and Rangers are considered rivals and why one of the series is a scheduled doubleheader.

No. The 2 Wild Cards are here forever.

Even with the Yanks doing poorly Mike is still concentrating heavy on the Mets. Amazing.
He needs to pray the Yanks don't miraculously miss the playoffs.

Opening Day against the Angels?
Ugh.

Phils and O's should be rivals but I get why they are not.

Seattle's probably going to wind up like Toronto generally has been for the last few years -- finishing fourth ahead of one atrociously bad team, but way better than their record indicates. Houston next year will probably make the 1999-2011 Orioles look like a powerhouse. They're going to wind up with at least 110 losses again, and every other team in the division --Mariners included! -- will get to reap the benefits of their wretchedness.
Only thing they have in common is that they both have small parks
but yea, as close as they are, Nationals are a much better option. I also love that series.
Hey you never know, by then you might be an Angels fan.
Astros could have been out of the hole a lot sooner if they hadn't fucked things up so much last year.

It's really funny to think of how bad the Astros were even when they still had guys like Oswalt, Berkman, Bourn, and Pence...
I still don't understand how you can like the Steelers and Reds at the same time.... it's sickening to think about -.-

The Padres have the best record in the NL West if you cut out April and May. If they add another bat and move the fences in next year, they're going to be crazy.
They also have a great farm system and some serious talent in Headley and Forsythe. However they still seem to have some pitching issues from what I can tell.

They had a good couple years around 2001-2006. After that, well...
Yeah, like he's going to do it.

Ugh, I can't turn the Gameday Scout crap off anymore.
Nats' Michael Morse has a torn tendon sheath and a bone bruise in his left hand. He will miss the next two games and try to take BP on Friday to see his progress.
And as soon as the Marlins give him a lead, the no-hitter is over.

This team is so much fun to watch. Jimmy is going to hit 20 HR's this year, never would have guessed that at the break.

If the Phillies make it to the Wild Card game, Charlie Manuel is the NL Manager of the Year. No question.

I agree with this 100% He has done an amazing job of keeping guys focused and not letting them get to down after the bad start and all the blown games by the bullpen. Sadly there is a 0.0% chance they make it. Cant wait to see a gif of that strikeout Aumont just had.

Phillies have an easy ass schedule the rest of the way. Their next 7 games are against the Mets and Astros. Although they still have 6 games left with the Nats, they swept them the last time they faced them.

That is a win. Go Reds! Go Padres! Go DBacks!
I meant the Interleague "rivalry" series that the mlb tries to set up.

Padres already beating the Cardinals.
Phillies and Brewers could be 3.0 back after tonight.

To be fair, if the Cardinals, Dodgers, and Pirates would have just played .500 ball the last two weeks, the Phillies and Brewers would still be a non-factor. But goddamn those three teams are blowing it.
