The last games of the season have some pretty interesting match ups tbh.

Cards vs Reds, Dodgers vs Giants, Braves at the Pirates, Rays vs Orioles, Rangers at the A's.

I personally think we're going to win the division, the Yankees have been just awful since the All-Star Break and Baltimore are playing well but I think we can have them in our matchups from now on.

AL
East - Tampa Bay Rays
Central - Chicago White Sox
West - Texas Rangers
WC - New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics

NL
East - Washington Nationals
Central - Cincinnati Reds
West - San Francisco Giants
WC - Atlanta Braves and St Louis Cardinals

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Dodgers make a run but it's not likely.

Eat a dick. Wildcard is ours.

20 year old Manny Machado makes the best situational play of the year

C'mon ****s.

What a remarkable season the A's are having. Just 2 games back of Texas now and will play them 7 more times. All this with McCarthy, their best pitcher, currently on the DL after taking a liner off his head.

Edit: Corrected the number of games A's and Rangers have head-to-head against each other.

Anyone see the Yankees and As game this morning? Crazy ****. 4 runs down in the 13th into a win.

BackFootPunch · 22-09-2012, 05:29 PM

Was following it online, ridiculous win from the Yankees. The race between them and Baltimore has been awesome for the last couple of weeks.

Been really enjoying MLB TV for whoever recommended it to me early in the season (DCYE I think). Been mostly watching Tigers games but generally watch at least highlights of other stuff every day, definitely worth the price.

Playoffs should be awesome.

So many races up in the air going into the final 4 days. Awesome.

Fusion · 02-10-2012, 10:50 PM

Oh oh. Panic mode. How the **** are the A's doing this?

BackFootPunch · 03-10-2012, 01:16 AM

The A's are doing it cause they're awesome, Fusion, that's how

The big question though, is who gets MVP? Miggy "Triple Crown" Cabrera or Mike "Boy Wonder" Trout?

Trout for me. Triple Crown is impressive and rare. But you know what’s even rarer? Hitting at least 30 HR’s and stealing at least 50 bases. Trout is only the 3rd player in MLB history to do that. Whatever advantage Cabrera may have on Trout offensively is more than negated by Trout’s defense and speed. Trout is catching balls in the outfield that would normally be hits or HR’s. His value to the pitching staff by doing that can’t be measured. Also, let’s say you have to face Trout and Cabrera in the playoffs and your plan is to simply not pitch to them. Well the problem you’d face is that you can’t put Trout on base because he’ll end up at 3rd most of the time! IMO, Trout has the making of the next Mays or Mantle. Did I mention how jealous I am that the Angels drafted him?

BackFootPunch · 03-10-2012, 06:53 PM

I'd pick Trout too I think. Miggy has been pretty awesome in getting the Tigers that division title but Trout is the more valuable player.

In other news, Oakland just won't die. Josh Hamilton's dropped catch error in the 4th
