That darned Wil Myers is starting to make a name for himself in Tampa, ain't he?
He really is. I still like Jose Iglesias to win ROY, but Myers would be my second choice.

Two playoff berths could be clinched tonight:
Red Sox need a win and an Indians loss to clinch a playoff berth
Braves need to sweep their day/night doubleheader to clinch the NL East
It may very well be it's because I was sooooo pissed off at my own team, but I thought the Orioles were a little too excited when the Sox yacked up a playoff spot. Now PLEASE don't get me wrong, it's the Red Sox own fault that they coughed up a fur ball the size of Manhattan, BUT these two teams play each other six times in the next twelve days. And who needs those games more NOW?? Hmmmm
Tonight's Sox lineup:
Pedroia 2B
Victorino CF
Ortiz DH
Napoli 1B
Nava RF
Carp LF
Saltalamacchia C
Drew SS
Bogaerts 3B
Pitching: Ryan Dempster (8-9, 4.70)
No resting tonight....Looks like the O's will have to earn it...
This is what's reported about Middlebrooks:Unless there's something wrong with Middlebrooks physically, I'd rather that he get in there and work on the mini slump he's currently going through.

It's possible that BOTH the Yankees and Red Sox could finish at the bottom of the AL East.
FWIW (not much, I can assure you ), here's my AL East predictions:
1. Blue Jays
2. Rays (wildcard)
3. Red Sox
4. Yankees
5. Orioles
From wayyyyyyy back in this thread (post #76).........looks like somebody was wayyyyyy off!!
Getting ready for a big night of baseball: Orioles-Red Sox on NESN and Rangers-Rays on MLBN!
Oh! How I wanna see the Rays just bury the Rangers.
Saltalamacchia just stole third, with a right handed batter in the box, and he stole home the other day. Ortiz has stolen third at least twice this year. I know that some great base stealers have said it is easier to steal third than second, but this is ridiculous.
Just heard on the radio broadcast: The Red Sox have been successful in their last 35 consecutive stolen base attempts.
I've been watching the Red Sox for 39 years, and it's just hard to believe that I just read that!!
