Let's not give JM any more options in his Magic 8 Ball.

I still worry that the Royals don't realize they are through. At least at some point the Twins may realize they are tired and fade gracefully, I see KC battling until the end.

My formula for JM continued employment with the White Sox Miss Playoffs = Adios, Good bye, call the agent and take a long trip. Finish something like 6th on the All-Time Sox list. Out in the 1st Round = 50-50 on next season. The team met minimum expectations. Out in the ALCS = He's here in 2004 without and extension. Basically a one year reprieve. Out in the WS = He's here on a 3 year contract and we may grow to love the guy. WS Win = Kids will grow up never knowing another WS Manager.

Remember what the Os did really doesn't fool major league front offices. They have the staff to analyze all his outings before pulling a trade. And while it's true he was pitching against the other teams 4-5 starter the oppponents were still batting their 1st lineup. I wish we culd teach whatever turned E-LO around. The new pitch, a little more confidence, etc. By the time a player is in the majors it has to be assumed he has talent and a lot of it. What they get out of that talent seperates the top players and the mediocre.

Go Astros

Gotta love Labor Day

It's more than winning 4 on this trip it was beating the Yankees 2 of 3 in NY. If the scores in NY were reversed and we swept the Tigers there would still be several questions marks. Winning the Yankees series was critical.

Steinbrenner probably didn't even know the guy was on the roster.

KC is too young to realize they are out of it. with no pressure and a great 1st year manager I am still worried. September 1 and they are still hanging around. Miracle Twins? Damn why didn't we contract these guys.

If I understand the formula, but I probably don't, the wild card team can not play a team from its' own division in the 1st round, so giving the Yankees the East, that means between the M's, A,s, and BoSox will come the wildcard. I believe the team with the best record plays the wildcard so we will get the other division winner. Oakland is making another great end of the season charge and I believe they will win the West and have the best AL record. The M's will beat the Red Sox for the wildcard setting up a Sox-A's, Mariner's Yankees 1st round.

Actually since Gagme blew his only save in a year at the Cell during the All-Star game life has been good!

OOh I'm worried now MINNEAPOLIS -- Jesse Orosco, the all-time Major League leader in games pitched and relief appearances, returns to the organization that drafted him a quarter century ago. The Twins acquired Orosco Sunday night from the Yankees in exchange for a player to be named later. Because the move was made before the playoff roster deadline of 11 p.m. CT, he is eligible to be on the Twins postseason roster.

Let's make certain they don't have to play that game . . . Although wouldn't it be weird pulling for one of those teams to knock the other out of playoff chances? A three way playoff would be interesting. Anyone know the formula?

Damn it feels strange to say it but on this Labor Day I truely believe we are one of the top 5 or 6 teams in baseball. But like any long term Chicago baseball fan I'm holding my breath wonderng when things will go wrong.

Alex is the best in baseball at his position. He is a positive in the club house. That is why he is making that kind of money. Don;t shoot the guy who took it, complain about the dumbass owner for offering it. As much as I respect Jose, give me A-Rod in a heartbeat.

Gotta love your comp losing while you're resting. The next two days are going to be rockin' Wish I could get to Chicago. At least I'll have the game on ESPN

Being in the middle of this pennant race my guess is we could just by tickets to the Cell for some of these guys, I doubt they'll get any playing time.

NO! and no more contest boards for you

This is sooo cool.

I thought Viagra would help that . . .

It really is simple, beat the competition. The Captain is putting on the fasten seatbelts sign, this is going to be a bumpy ride or while on the roller coaster please keep your hands and heads inside the ride at all times, enjoy!

Hell you were from up north . . . I'm down in the Rio Grande Valley.
