Oakland As. Second place and two games over 500!

Last six games of the year. Now you don't think about winning a series. You think about winning every game from here on out. You focus, no partying, eat right, in bed early, etc. But not like I'm a professional who would know! :D

Tuesday is going to be interesting around the majors.
especially if Cleveland knocks Detroit out of first and reclaims the division...

Cincy sure did not do that tonite. Pirates had a debut catcher--his first major league game. This catcher threw out a paltry 28 runners out of 176 stealing attempts in the minors. Hell, he could not even catch the ball. Mind boggling how the Reds did not start more runners and put pressure on them. Cincy hit into double plays in the 7th and 8th. They ended the game with a double play. Crazy they did not start runners more.

Which is exactly what they did. I see MLB has them atop the standings, even though they have the exact same record. I wonder how they determine the top spot. Not sure why I never knew that before.

Cleveland beat Detroit in reg season games 7-4 so far...
 
Cleveland is playing Detroit this week. One is on a skid and the other is rolling. Be interesting to see how the Tigers respond.
The season's end has been fun to watch. Cubs are melting down. New York has the biggest payroll and they're hanging by a thread. Yanks appear to be befuddled. And no one wants to get 100 wins. Seems like Milwaukee has been stuck at 95 forever.
 
They're little more than a .500 team, it appears. But I will say that the Skenes-Greene matchup today could be fun to watch.
i cant believe the collapse of the tigers and the astros....

I was just tuning in. It went 11, but probably not the kind of game one expected.
 
The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs have both clinched postseason berths, with the Brewers also taking home the NL Central title. The Philadelphia Phillies have locked up the NL East title, and the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their fifth straight NL West title on Thursday. The New York Mets, clinging onto the final wild-card-spot, won their series against the Cubs this week and control their own destiny going into the final weekend, but the door is still open for the Cincinnati Reds -- who won on Thursday afternoon -- and Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL wild-card race.

and there is still a chance the tigers may not make the playoffs...what a fall.....
 
It would have been both interesting and fun if Oakland--or whatever--had made the playoffs. You have an 83-79 team that made it, so it would not have been that crazy of a prediction. Would have been some real teeth gnashing over there in the bay.
