81 Comments

Oakland at Detroit. 4pm Oakland leads the series 2-1
Boston at Tampa 7:30. Boston leads the series 2-1

there is a possibility that by the end of the night both "ii" and "_elmOn" could be out of the playoffs.

  2. I hate how everything up and on the inner half of the plate is considered a 'message pitch' now.

  8. I think thats a HR
    but, ballparks should be built where you cant have fans hanging over the outfield wall. So you lose a row of seats. big deal.

      1. A dismembered arm box by the field usher would make the game much more interesting. 🙂

    3. I'm for calling it an out as fans shouldn't reach over for that and should be punished.
      /I would do the same thing.
      //If I ever had front-row seats.

  23. Crax. One minute, Straily has a no-hitter going. The next time I check, A's are down 8-4. WTF?

        1. I don't really understand the day game thing. It seems like the anti-money-grab. Are there really so many fans who can watch the day game and then also watch later games that it makes more sense to never overlap games than if they showed games simultaneously?

  26. Welp. More baseball. Two Game 5s coming up in the next two days. Can the Rays make it three?

    2. Not with Verlander on full rest. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was available for relief.

  28. The Trop music man playing Booker T & the MGs song 'Hip Hug-Her' during that pitching coach visit
    awesome.

      1. I remember one season the Twins played that after "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during every Seventh Inning Stretch. It was a hilarious season of listening to my tone-deaf brother singing along.

  32. I find it hard to cheer for the Red Sox, but I can strongly cheer against Maddon's cute overmanaging. It drives me nuts. It makes me more annoyed when it's vindicated.

      1. I hate Maddon for being so unhateable. (It's not Scioscia-level.)
        I would love him if he coached a team I cheered for.

          2. No, DK is right.
            Scioscia knows what he did.
            You could read his comments after Juan Rincon had served his suspension.

            I'm just saying I have Maddon for being so damned charming but the charm works on me too and so it's softer.
            It's not a Scioscia-level hate.

            Level of spite for MLB managers:
            1. Scioscia
            2. Girardi (Scioscia-lite)
            3. Uh, Eric Wedge is already fired, right?

        2. From the link above:

          "I got to the team in 2011," says Peralta, "and we lose our first six games. On the plane to Chicago, Joe starts passing around shots of liquor, then gets up in the front, takes the microphone and says, 'Here's a toast to the best 0-6 team in the history of baseball.' I knew then that I was in a different place."

          That was the season the Rays made an epic September run to qualify for their third postseason in four years.

          (it's a really cool profile, btw.)

      2. I'm not going to say I'm not. 😉 I'd be more than okay with him managing the Twins. I can recognize he's a good manager. I just find watching games he manages pretty obnoxious. Case in point: watching him use up his entire bullpen tonight. The language I used was pretty hyperbolic.

    1. That's a good song. My kids and I love the "Sings Palace Music" version, but this, like the original, is also very good.

      If you were alone,
      you could walk away
      from Louisville.
