Also, this game further cements Ellsbury as MVP. Granderson certainly did not help his case at all tonight in every at bat.

sounds like being in the right place at the right time. MVP = Best Player which may or may not be Ellsbury but it should not be based on your fucking team.

It's going to be funny when the Sox miss the playoffs anyway.

by like .02 or something, they can't measure it that close. And of course you have to account for errors etc.. Anyway ellsbury seems to gain a lot from UZR and considering that it takes a 3 year sample to really get good info from that i wouldnt exactly trust his numbers. I'd probabky vote for Bautista at the moment.

So weird how the Rays chances went up from yesterday yet it still feels like a crushing defeat. Scott Proctor makes even improved numbers look bad.

For those keeping score, if the Braves and Cardinals have to play a tiebreaker on 9/29 in St. Louis, the pitching matchup would be Brandon Beachy vs. Kyle Lohse.

If the Yanks lay low for all 3 against the Rays, which is certainly believable, the Red Sox would have to sweep Baltimore to win the wild card. 2 out of 3 would be the one game playoff in Tampa Bay. The collapse is still possible.

Assuming the Red Sox win 2 out of 3 in the first place. They just lost 3 out of 4 to the O's last week.

Of course it's far from a lock that the Rays could win all 3 against the Yankees either. Considering what just happened in the last Rays - Yanks matchup.

Red Sox get swept. Rays win 1 game out of 3. Angels force the 3 way tie.

I think the Yankees should do everyone a favor and put Scott Proctor on display for at least 5 innings in all 3 games against the Rays. Proctor is a gem and we need to appreciate him while he's still here.

This has been an interesting end to the season.

Braves play 3 against Philly, and we (Cardinals) play 3 against Houston. It's in our favor, you'd think, but Philly has been playing like crap lately too. And knowing my luck, Cardinals will probably drop 2 or all 3 against Houston.

You can pretty much mark Wednesday as a win for the Braves. Hudson's pitching (if it still matters, that is) and Manuel's only running the bullpen and the bench out there on the final day, with Hamels getting in at some point and only throwing an inning or so.

I really want there to be one-game playoffs from both leagues (including an extra game from a possible three-way tie for the AL WC).

Angels are done. They blew a 5-2 lead in the 9th to the A's and lost 6-5. This was it for them.

Boy am I glad I did not stay up. I wouldn't have kept the game on when Proctor came in anyway. Talk about the white flag.

Is a K/BB ratio really a better statistic than a K-BB differential? Seems that the latter would do a better job accounting for how good a pitcher was at limiting baserunners.

K/PA-BB/PA is supposed to be a somewhat better statistic.

I think it's the "divorcing his dying wife who he previously used to substantiate his failure as a pitcher" that makes him a toolbag, not so much the concept of divorce itself.

Also, he has a doucheface. Look at his doucheface! Somebody post one of the 90 Lackey "fuck!" GIFs. C'mon, son.
