Gonna be really exciting down the stretch here. I'm a Cubs fan first but have always liked the Twins and would love to see them get a crack at the yankmees and send them packin!
Yanks have 6 games left with division leading Toronto and Mets. Plus their best rbi guy Teixeira is out with broken leg and winningest starter Evoldi is now out for the season. Setting up for a big swoon in the next two weeks. They are leading the wildcard but have the toughest games and are pretty beat up.
If Yankees, Rangers and Twins end up tied how do they pick who plays who? Assuming they would need tow playoff games?
Twins stomp on Detroit 7-1 last night. Texas downed the Astros as well, so still 1 game back.
Hughes gets tossed back into the fire tonight, and if the Twins can manage another win, they are guaranteed to pick up at least a half game in the wildcard race.
Blue Jays lose, Yanks are down 3 in the bottom of the 8th, Rangers and Astros tied up...and we're losing 4-1.
I wonder if plouffe would hit into double plays regardless of batting positions because he leads the team and maybe even the league in that category. He lead last year too.
EFF!! Blown save.....Houston is trying to GIVE us the wild card and we aren't taking it
Absolutely horrendous loss tonight.
? Still the bottom of the 9th to go, right?
Make that 2nd.
