The Great Giambino, Big G, Jason goddamn Giambi coming up increibly clutch again.  Man, I love the baseball. :cry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEsAe_tDF-4

The Cardinals' magic number is now 2.  If the Cubs can keep the Pirates at bay and manage another run, it will become 1.  Reds are now eliminated from contention for the division pennant race and are now just competing for home field for the one-game wild card playoff.

And the Cards' magic number is now 1 after that loss by the Pirates.  This makes things a bit easier for this weekend.  Cardinals have to either win just 1 game or have the Pirates not sweep the Reds to win the NL Central.

I believe the absolute worst case scenario (or best if you're Syt) at this point is the Cardinals and Pirates finish tied for the NL Central, and if that happens there will be a one game playoff to decide the winner (head to head doesn't matter).

Touching moment with Mariano Rivera being pulled out of the game for the last time at home.

Now with that behind us, can we please cut the Yankees coverage and focus on the teams actually in (or in contention for) the playoffs??

Ugh, even if the Orioles were going to the playoffs--and they won't--it wouldn't be any fun without Machado.  :(

That may have actually been the game that mathematically elminated them.  Fortunately Machado's injury was not anywhere as bad as it looked at the time.

Damn this season was as disappointing as last season was magical.  No bullpen at all, they lost far too many games they should have won.

Nah it is always like Ken Burn's Baseball.

New York New York New York New York New York New York!  Oh and lets talk about Curt Flood, he played for this obscure non-New York team.

Maybe this offseason they'll learn they need to upgrade the pitching instead of standing pat with what they have.

Watching the Sox-Orioles game.

Why did the Umps call that home run back, as the ground rule was explained by the broadcaster, a ball that lands on the grounds crew roof is a home run. :unsure:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Oh Cubbies. :weep:

You're still paying attention?  Cubs fans are supposed to stop caring in August.  Your Bears got one from us though :hug:

Cards are 3 outs away from winning the NL Central pennant.  Trevor Rosenthal and his 100mph arm are on the mound.

There was a snowball's chance they could have got the wild card. Alas :D

Time to shift gears, dude.  Your Bears could well be 4-0 after this weekend, so there's that.

I know, right? The o-line's doing well, the new plays are great, and Cutler's got his shit in a pile.
