Dodgers tie it up in Colorado. 3 straight hits with two outs in the ninth. 5-5. Giants give up back to back homers. 6-5 San Diego. Sixth. Tight race in the NL west.
Phillies leading the Pie-rats 8-6 in the 6th. If they hang on, they’ll be 2 behind the Braves. They play a 3 game set with the Braves next week.
No I've been very clear on wanting the Jays to win and for the MFYs to get the shaft.
How about they both keep losing so we can stroll into the post season stress free?
Don't count the BJs before they hatch
or something like that
Until the Sox magic # is 0, I'm rooting for whoever is playing team, 2b and 2c
Go Twins!

As I see it, if the Sox don't win these games (and the last two series are against bottom feeders) then they don't deserve to get in anyway. But I freely admit my MFY hatred is hyper intense even by SOSH standards.
But we were assured just a week ago that the Blue Jays had locked up a playoff spot.
Phillies fall behind 6-0 to the Pirates early. Score 12 unanswered, ahead 12-6 in the 9th. Weird game.
Here's a scenario that will feed your loathing and frankly holds the potential to piss me off to no end. Tampa after playing @ Houston for 3 and presumably having a lock on AL best record, shuts it down in the last 3 games of the year against the MFY.Oh it does. It really does.
Sure, but a Toronto win makes things harder on the Yankees. I like results that make things harder on the Yankees.
Go Blue Jays!
It would be much better for the Rays to not have the AL best record. White Sox are weaker than Toronto or Boston. They’re a product of that pathetic division.
No doubt. Just pointing out that this isn’t the Twins helping out the Yankees. The Jays need to win the games in front of them.
Interesting psychology behind rooting for or against the Jays in games like this. A Jays loss is definitely more likely to help the Yankees make the postseason than help the Red Sox, which is a bad thing. But the worst case scenario, where the Yankees are in the postseason but the Red Sox are not, is still possible, and a Jays loss decreases the chances of that. So that's what I have to root for.
That said, I'm very much looking forward to the Jays-Yankees series where I will be able to easily and wholeheartedly root for the Jays to win regardless of what any standings looks like at the time.

Six games left against the Angels (season series, Seattle 8-5), with a home set against the faded Athletics in-between
Phillies are 2 GB.
Atlanta has to complete a suspended game from July tomorrow vs SD, and then play the regularly scheduled game after. But I don’t know if Phillies fans can expect much help from the Padres these days. Philly might have to sweep the Braves next week.
Someone can check my math on this, but I believe if the Blue Jays go 5-4, the Yankees go 4-5, and the Mariners go 6-3, we get a 3-way tie for the 2nd WC. Kind of seems not that crazy of a possibility!
That scenario has been ghosting me when I wake up in the middle of the night for the late couple of weeks.
Fortunately I didn't see this before going to bed.
I mean it would have been real nice if the Rays had killed off the MFYs back in July as some of us were suggesting to significant pushback.
But the MFY were out of it ... don't you remember?I mean it would have been real nice if the Rays had killed off the MFYs back in July as some of us were suggesting to significant pushback.
When the Rays tank the final series against NYY it will be settling up the debt from 2011.Fortunately I didn't see this before going to bed.

He's been on my radar for a bit because of OOTP baseball and he was a prospect on my fantasy team (I know nobody cares, it's just context). I knew he had power, but he really put it all together this year.
Is it me or does the Red Sox chances of making the playoffs, 97.6%, feel way too high. Am I just being paranoid worst case scenario guy? Is my fear of a sweep much higher than the odds of one?
I think NYY-TOR playing against each other factors into it as well. One has to lose and that's 1/3 of the remaining schedule.
yeah that makes sense. Worst case scenario, a Yankee sweep and a Jays sweep would have Yankees one up on both, but then the Sox get the O’s while yanks and jays play each other.
a win today would be nice.
