USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 The odd thing is that I think the White Sox has a better chance of advancing through the playoffs as a wildcard than they do as the AL Central champions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fishyswa Report post Posted September 20, 2005 No a must win game is a game a team literally must win in order to still be in contention. I'm pretty sure the Royals had there must win game about a month ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really, what are the odds the Yankees have a lead of anything more than one game, and thats saying if they even do get a lead, going into the last three games of the season, where the Sox or Yanks decide their own destiny.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 I think everybody knew that Eric Milton would be horrible so I wouldn't call that a bust. I know Yankee fans including himself were having a collective heart attack when the Yankees were supposedly talking to him during the off season last year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But THIS bad? Milton coming into this year had a career ERA of 4.76. Over his career Milton had ERAs of 5.64, 4.49, 4.86, 4.32, 4.84, 2.65 (17 innings) and 4.75. Over Milton's career he has been essentially league average. It's a big jump from there to an ERA in the high six range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 Speaking of running on E I'd say the White Sox are on fumes at this point too. Cleveland is absolutely terrifying right now and I dare say someone is looking at not making the playoffs here (Red Sox?). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Speaking of running on E, I guess Kotzenjunge is working out again.

mike546 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 I want A-Rod to win the MVP as much as any other Yankee fan, but David Ortiz is freaking incredible. I've never seen a strech like this where one man literally carries the team on his back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fishyswa Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Brian Roberts had his arm almost ripped off on a play at first base, judging by how much pain he was in it'd be safe to say he's out for the year. Bubba Crosby was safe on the play, Bernie scored after the collision and the O's manager got tossed arguing about something. Oh and it's 5-3, bottom 2nd, 0 out runners on 1 and 2.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Was the Nationals' bullpen killed in a plane crash or something? Jesus. A high pitch count is well and good, but what's the point of leaving the starter in when he just gave up three runs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Fuck yeah! Moises Alou's the man! I'm just watching on Gamecast because it's not televised, but anyway, he hit a 3-run homer in the top of the 9th to give the Giants a 4-2 lead. If they hold on and the Padres don't come back, SF will move within 5 games of first in the NL West tonight. Go Giants! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sass 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Barry is going to win the NL West and just to be a dick to white America, he passes Babe Ruth in HR's and then retires next season or joins the White Sox. I hear they could use another burly black DH down in tha Southside... I just don't see Bonds coming back this late into the season and losing the NL West along with missing out on passing Babe Ruth in HR's. The Padres blow and the Dodgers are lame ducks. Winning the NL West could be a cake walk for Bonds and the Giants...if they weren't missing Alou Jr. and Schmidt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2005 Derrek Lee has struck out swinging four times tonight, including just now with the bases loaded. Cubs managed to load the bases with no outs and then have the top three guys in the order do absolutely nothing. Doug Davis looks like Cy Young facing the Cubs, I tells ya.
