Just imagine if it was three division winners and two wildcard teams in the playoffs still. Now that would be anxious.

Love it . Let’s get a run or two and toast a playoff spot after three more outs.

Guhhh....

I don’t know how close Heuer was to getting traded, but I’m glad he’s here.

Told ya we had this

That’s what speed do!

They gotta pump in some M-V-P chants over the PA.

Get this run in. Let’s go!!

We got this

Robot umps

Exactly. When he realizes he just needs to make contact, he’ll be better off. We’ve seen him have more controlled swings that have gone a long way.

Brutal

Make a mistake, Wisler.

Baseball gods need to punish the Twins today. Sox will win.

Holy cow, that was one of the most unprofessional things I’ve ever seen in baseball. Turd.

Do your thing, Nick

Robert is due (I tried)

Division win magic number goes from 9 to 6 with a win today. Let’s go!

Sox clinch with a win Thursday afternoon...or Tigers and Mariners loss. I'll take the win on the field. Magic Numbers to stay ahead of- Sea-1 Det-1 Hou-4 Cle-6 Tor-7 NY-8 MIn-9 Oak-10 TB-11

Ozzie is must see. A lot of fun pre and post, and I’ve listened to him for 35 years, so I know what he’s saying. He’s made mistakes, but I hope he’s back in uniform someday for somebody.

Already posted about this in the other thread, but hopefully the players realize this is bad for them other than getting a postseason participation ribbon more often. Hope it doesn’t happen.

Magic Number: 2 So today could be clinch day, but it may happen around midnight. Sox win, Tigers and Mariners lose.

I’d rather the Sox be in the final four of the AL because we won a division, but that’s just me.

Exactly. Expanded postseason is terrible for player salaries. Yeah, it feels good to make the playoffs, but it’s supposed to be hard to make the playoffs in baseball! It supposed to feel great when you make it, and it’s supposed to hurt when you come up just short after six months of almost daily games. That’s the fan experience. You don’t just let every .500 or possibly under .500 team in after 162. Ugghh!!

I’m over the expansion this year even though it’s proven to be a failure. If they don’t have enough smart people to realize that 5 of 15 currently, or 6 of 16 in the future (if they add two teams) is more than acceptable, then I’ll be rooting for attendance and regular season ratings to plummet, because I think that’s what will happen.
