Get em on, get em out.
bases loaded no one out... first guy strikes out... second guy hit by shields to knock in the run lol. if he had managed to dodge it the run would have been in regardless as there was no way the catcher was catching that. Shields seems to be lacking some control today.
edit: and that is all the white sox will get... they really need to come out of this funk with RISP... a .120 average in those situations won't win you many games ><;

Peavy is so fucking bad in big games. I knew this goddamn team was going to piss the playoffs away in the last two weeks.
Fuck.
Fuck.
The guy has given up 2 runs on 4 hits with no walks over 5 IP. Peavy's not to blame unless you expect him to throw a shut out in order for us to win.
If we lose this game we're done. Even if we tie for the division they will trot out verlander or fister out against us and we'll shit our pants.
hmmm I must be watching a different game than you are last time I checked 2 runs, 4 hits and no walks through 5 innings was a quality start, heck it's borderline good. I would even say that at least 3 more runs through 5 innings would be needed before I would call it "fucking bad" *shrugs*
Still plenty of time to come back from 1 run down and win it.

1 game ahead, 7 to go?
if you are talking about the yankees, you are 1 game ahead with 6 to go now.
edit: dunn should have been struck out..(the 2-2 pitch was clearly a strike but called a ball) instead he is walked... I will take it lol as it's bases loaded no one out again.
is it sad that I am happy about trading 2 outs for a single run ><;

Adam Wainwright is now talking shit about the Braves celebrating and is already predicting victory against the Braves. This quote showed up in the St. Louis paper:

Get the hell outta here. Nova's been a good starter for the Yanks the past few seasons, he's just been inconsistent the later half of the season. Still a promising 3/4 starter.
I think he's more of a 4/5 starter and let me be hyperbolic dammit.

Wait what just happened in the Rays game? Why did the inning just end?

Tomodachi wa Mahou
LONGO!!!!!
apparently danks took a half step towards third and missed the bag by an inch on his way back though it never looked like his right foot left the bag *shrugs* I am sure the ump is right because the white sox have been making a ton of stupid mistakes for the last few weeks
alright white sox gotta get at least 1 off Fernando Rodney... which is not an easy feat at all this year ><;
lol joyce you can easily read his lips "god damn.... wow" he got lucky he caught it as he clearly lost it in the lights.
I feel dunn will be the last batter... either strike out or home run... likely a strike out though.

Shit. Did not want to see Adam Dunn.

2 game lead!
and dunn strikes out and the white sox are just about dunn. 2 whole games back with 6 to play and 2-8 in their last 10. meanwhile this puts tampa just 2 games back in the wild card and continue to just be 3 behind the O's meaning if tampa can keep winning they will catch the O's (as their last 3 are against them)
darkside31337
Tomodachi wa Mahou
Well Rays catching all the breaks now. I think they control their own destiny? Dunno how tiebreakers work if the Rays and Angels finish with the same record.
it's not over until it's over, but yeah the white sox need to pretty much start a 6 game win streak tomorrow.
darkside31337
Tomodachi wa Mahou
crap wrong thread 
if the rays and angels finish the with same record, and they are both behind the A's and O's still they won't matter
if they all somehow end up tied.... I dont remember the rules but they are messy lol.
how awesome would it be if tampa, the yankees, o's, angels, texas and A's all ended up tied to end the season lol
which would happen if:
Angels and A's both sweep texas to keep them at 92 wins.
A's take 1 of three against seattle
Angels Sweep seattle
O's Sweep the Red Sox
Tampa Sweeps the white sox and O's
and the yankees go 2-4 total against the jays and red sox.
not likely (like a .00001% chance), but I would love to see how that would be resolved lol.
Took a lot of thought to come up with that conclusion huh?

NL playoffs seemed locked up.
AL is at least keeping it interesting.
AL is at least keeping it interesting.
Could have a 5 way tie in the AL for the Wild Card.
I'm still hoping the Dodgers can make a final push to catch the Cardinals. They look like they'll get a win tonight against the Padres unless the bullpen implodes (which could happen**). So if they win, that'd mean they'd be 3 games back. Sure the Dodgers have to play the Rockies and Giants which are two teams they aren't especially great against but at least the games are at home. Meanwhile St Louis has to play at the Nationals and then home against the Reds, two potentially difficult teams. Then of course the Brewers have series against Houston and San Diego... so never-mind, Brewers get the final wild card spot :-\ *sigh*
** Bases are currently loaded with Padres... sigh.

All remaining regular season games for the Cardinals are in STL. Considering how much better we play at home, I'm hoping a 3 game lead is enough.
Whoops. Thanks for the correction. St Louis is the better team so I'm guessing they won't choke away a 3 game lead. But I still have misguided hope for the Dodgers :-\
The Nationals are very good on the road though!!
I'm looking forward to these last games that the Orioles play. That's some crazy, close baseball left.
Astros did it better earlier this year
anyways... I still can't believe that this was called a double and not a single and an error @_@

The Brewers have the easiest final schedule in The NL. Anything less than 5/6 and they should be ashamed.

- everyone picked the orioles to finish last....oops
- al central winner was unanimous (tigers) except for zulux21 who picked the Indians (tigers WC)
- everyone was down on the white sox (last, supermalo 4th) except for me and BigJonsson (both 2nd).
- nemss and Acheron_xl picked the nationals to win the east, McNei1y picked them to be the 2nd WC.
- Mrbob was almost correct about his 140 loss prediction for the cubs
- I blame Sanjuro for my AL East prediction.
