'23 AL Playoff Picture

Seems like no one wants the last spot. Too bad Sox have utterly failed to capitalize on it.

Toronto barely hung on. Vlad had a HR tonight but he has not been himself this season.

Absolutely. It would’ve still been if they won Game 4 7-0. But to do do down in the 9th against Rivera; it’s still hard to believe 19 years later.

And then to win their first WS since 1918. It was a magical season. No fans will experience anything like that for a long time.

4-9 in the last 2 weeks.

It’s over, Johnny.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

Over. Agree

4-9 in the last 2 weeks.

It’s over, Johnny.

shut the thread.

The magic number for elimination from post-season contention is 16 (division is 5). Technically not over yet but the bandwagon is pretty empty.

2004 is the single least likely thing you've seen in the history of sports. On a team level, at least.

...and the spotlight that was on it - the significance it has in Red Sox and MLB history - makes it all the more amazing.

Meanwhile, in the NL wildcard race, SF, Cin, and ARI are tied for the last spot, with Mia only a half game back. Great race!

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Marlins are 30-12 in one run games. Outperforming their pythag by 9 games. Basically the anti-Padres.
