Pujols came up with the bases loaded yesterday and down 5-1, then he got plunked. I was waiting for him to tie up the game.

I think Boston got handed a gift last night in bottom of the 9th..the check swing and the called ball was a strike imho...

Yeah, horrible call in Boston last night. Angels got robbed; hopefully that'll come back to haunt them in the ALDS in Anaheim.

Same here. I don't think they plunked him intentionally but it sure helped their cause.
Magic # is 8.. Cubs are helping us big time.

3 games this weekend with the Cubs, right ATD? A sweep and the Cards have got it locked down.

Yep !!!! Can't wait. My sis had tickets 2 rows behind home plate offered to her but had vacation planned so she passed on it....Screw vacation I'd have been going to the game.

2 rows behind the plate sounds like a vacation to me.

Wow, those would've been great seats ATD! The Cubs have given up on the season so a sweep should be fairly easy to obtain.

Tommy...AJ vs. King Felix tonight. Hopefully he'll break out of this funk. They had Sabbathia penciled in tonight, but bumped him to tomorrow for some reason. Maybe Girardi is setting it up for those last 3 games against the Red Sox?

Girardi is just giving them plenty of rest for the off season

[atomic charvel guy]

the 3 games after seattle are with the angels, home field at stake. tough to figure out how to run your rotation right now. nothing is sowed up whatsoever yet.
Glad the Yankees are facing an ace like felix, they need to face guys like that to prepare for later.

Hey Tommy, are the Yanks going to break 100 wins this year? Just curious on your take.

[atomic charvel guy]

all they have to do is play 500 ball the rest of the way out and they'll win 101, should be attainable.

Walk off for Holliday brings us down to 6. A sweep would all but bury the cubs till next year.

Tigers are catching Detroit Lionitis and choking. Twins are coming on strong 3 back now. The AL central is all on the line with 6 more head to head hades with Minnesota.....wrong time of year to go cold
