At Angel Stadium...

If the scores remain positive, after the Yankees/Angels game today, fans are invited to stay and watch the remainder of the Texas/Seattle game on JumboTron.

We may be be celebrating with champagne and bright, warm sunshine late this afternoon in Anaheim....STAY TUNED!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2008 AL WEST CHAMPIONS:

LOS ANGELES ANGELS

 

[SabresRule]

The Yankees are a combo of 8 wins/losses from playoff elimination (although their loss today to the Angels proably affected that).

Who would have thought the Yankees would be eliminated this year? What a weird way to send out the House that Ruth Built.

Maybe A-Rod should have opted out and gone somewhere else.

 

[BillD1984]

The Yankees are a combo of 8 wins/losses from playoff elimination (although their loss today to the Angels proably affected that).

Sabres,
that Yankees number is up to date (they are guaranteed to go down one in either the East or wildcard when the TB-BOS game is completed). Those numbers are updated through today's afternoon games.

 

[SabresRule]

The Mets beat the Nats in a baseball game with a football score- 13-10.

You think the Giants/Redskins rematch in D.C. will have the same score?

 

[goaliebob99]

White sox won so KC is elminated.

 

[Mets82]

Poor KC. They are always eliminated by June.

 

[BillD1984]

White sox won so KC is elminated.

Thanks, Bob! :up

 

[BillD1984]

Rays-Red Sox in the 13th tied at 1.

 

[Mets82]

Give the Rays credit. They are still fighting. They've been struggling but give them credit.

 

[BillD1984]

Rays-Red Sox in the 13th tied at 1.

Make that top of the 14th.

 

[BillD1984]

Carlos Pena just hit a 3-run HR to give the Rays a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the 14th. Ellsbury, Pedroia, and Ortiz due up.

 

[SabresRule]

Has Percival thown any pitches CLOSE to the plate?

He can't find the strike gone with a GPS!

 

[Mets82]

Bases are loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the 14.

 

[BillD1984]

Has Percival thown any pitches CLOSE to the plate?

I think the poor guy is toast.


Which reminds me, I better NEVER see Mike Timlin in a crucial moment EVER again.

 

[BillD1984]

WHY is Francona not pinch-running for Ortiz???? He's the friggin' tying run!!!

 

[Mets82]

Do they have anybody on the bench to pinch run for Ortiz?

 

[Mets82]

Jason Bay 0-7. Ouch.

 

[SabresRule]

Sorry, Bill.

But these two teams are putting on a heck of a show this year.
