With the AL wild card race being so tight, I looked up the tiebreaker rules. Looks like they've got it figured out down to a 4 team tie....

If you told me when the Pats schedule came out last April, that tonight's Red Sox game would even be on my radar, I would've said you're crazy!! Now here we are, the Pats playing their second game of the year, and the Red Sox playing game #148. Not only will the Sox be on my radar tonight, I'll give them just as much attention as the Pats. The Sox broke the curse in 2004 and then won it all again in 2007, but this just may be my favorite team. I don't remember a grittier team than this bunch! It's to the point that I have to tune in not to see if they're gonna win, but HOW they're gonna win! It seems like every night there's a different hero.
GO SOX........and oh yeah GO PATS!!!!

Got this everyone? There's gonna be a quiz later!
Seriously, thanks for posting this Cosmo! The AL wild card is a mess right now, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were 2, 3 or even 4 teams tied after game #162. This is great info to have here!!

This was my favorite part:
If Club 1 has a better record against Club 2, Club 2 has a better record against Club 3, and Club 3 has a better record against Club 1; OR Club 1 has a better record against Club 2, Club 2 and 3 have identical records against one another and Club 3 has a better record against Club 1; OR Club 1 and 2 have identical records against one another, Club 1 has a better record against Club 3 and Club 2 and 3 have identical records against one another, then: ....
According to WEEI: "Thursday marks the 165th day on the active major league roster for Mike Napoli, thereby ensuring the first baseman will earn the full $8 million in incentives for his current one-year deal with the Red Sox. The milestone guarantees Napoli $13 million for the 2013 season."

Five teams are fighting for wild card #2 in the AL (assuming the A's-Rangers runner-up get WC #1), but I'm rooting for the Indians. As happy as I am with the Sox this season, I'm still bitter about the way the Terry Francona era ended in Boston. The only time I won't root for Tito is when the Indians are playing the Red Sox.
I felt when the season started, that it would take 92 to win the AL Central, might end up being less, but thing the winning team will still have that many or more.
Looks like Boston has continued to play great ball while the Tigers have been at .500 in the last 10, the two were within a game or two of one another a week or so ago, now Boston is a whole 5 games up.
Detroit and Oakland both have 85 wins at the moment (A's in progress), Boston leads the way with 90, way to go Sox !
Giants score 3 runs off Kershaw in the 7th off 4 straight hits. All hits were with 2 strikes, all were pitches well out of the strike zone, and all traveled about 150 feet. The last one was a check swing on an outside pitch that was dunked over first base. I've never seen so many lucky hits in a row.
With that says, Kershaw is still way off his game. He is not dominating at all.

At least the DBacks are losing. If they lose the magic number goes down to 4 even with a Dodger loss.

Thats 2 or 3 non dominating games in a row now, isn't it ?
Is he in a J.V. slump ?
Speaking of J.V., tonight he won, going 6 2/3rds, gave up a lot of hits (9) and 3 runs, but K'd 7 and walked 0.
He felt he's "Getting there" ... still tinkering, getting close ...
Heres hoping he's GOT IT, by the Post Season.

More like 7 or 8 in a row. Even though he pitched some low scoring games, he just has not been Ace like. Not striking batters out, making too many pitches, not hitting his spots, and not putting batters away with 2 strikes (keep fouling off pitches).
Today he pitched 7 innings and gave up 3 runs on a bloop and squib rally.

Koji Uehara's consecutive batter retired streak is now at 37 after his perfect 9th tonight. The MLB record is 45 batters, set by Mark Buehrle in 2009.
THIS is when I started noticing J.V.s not right.
Teams would start fouling off pitches, particularly in the early innings, raising his pitch count.
Now with J.V. and Kershaw, a pitch count really isn't an issue ... J.V. goes 130 on a night (if needed) regularly, thats about the limit, many think because of that pitch count the last several years is whats causing his issues now .... I'm not sure I believe that.
Punto, If you ran through first instead of sliding head first, the tying run would have scored.
Batters, there is no reason to slide into first, unless you are avoiding a tag. Running through gets you past the bag faster.
