The Twins were just eliminated. Rangers are close to clinching the AL West.

[Sammy Sofa]

They truly are the Starlin Castros of the AL West.

[UMFan83]

Sucks, that will put the Astros magic number at 1. Not even a good chance for a 2 team tiebreaker at this point

[davell]

Hamilton with 2 homers today. Good job Arte.

Bryan Price will return as Reds manager next year according to Walt Jocketty.

Wow Angels score 4 in the 9th to tie it. Astros fans have to be pissed

 

Edit: I guess some confident Astros fans are happy as it keeps their division hopes alive

Why would they be pissed? They can still catch the Rangers for the AL West.

Yeah I just corrected myself. Considering the Astros woeful road record, I wouldn't be super confident of winning the last 2 games.

 

And the Angels take the lead. Glad I turned this one on. Baseball is awesome

[weis21]

yep. picked a good time to switch the baseball game from my stream of football games. i don't watch much non-Cubs baseball, but this has been a fun one in Arlington.

[UMFan83]

Angels finished this off, now things get super interesting as both division and WC tiebreakers become very realistic.

 

Astros win tonight:

-Astros and Angels win = divison tiebreaker

-Astros and Rangers win = Rangers win div, Astros WC

-Astros lose and Angels win = WC tiebreaker

-Astros lose and Rangers win = Rangers division, Astros WC

Scherzer trying to be like Arrieta tonight.

[jersey cubs fan]

Scherzer needs three more

[ctcf]

 

What in the hell? I don't mean to get all meatbally, but that kinda seems like a dick move.

[UMFan83]

Who?

[Guest]

Scherzer could get to a 103 game score if he strikes out the last guy.

 

EDIT: He actually would have tied Wood with 105 if he struck out the last guy. As it ended up, second highest game score ever at 104.

What an impossibly vain thing for Buehrle to do.

 

Scherzer is one out from a no hitter and has struck out the last 9 hitters.

Why? I assume it means he wasn't making the playoff roster.

[Guest]

Scherzer finishes the no-hitter, and the Nats broadcast gets a clear "GET OFF THE FIELD ASSHOLES!" from the Met crowd.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Game score of 104. Kerry Wood retains the record at 105.

[davell]

15 years straight of 200 innings is awfully impressive. But no idea why he doesn't just pitch a normal start.

[Guest]

15 years straight of 200 innings is awfully impressive. But no idea why he doesn't just pitch a normal start.

 

Because he went 6.2 IP yesterday.

And that's why reading an article prior to commenting is important.

Dodgers just clinched home field advantage in the NLDS. Mets have lost five straight to blow it.
