So ATLAST, the mathematicians who crunch baseball numbers seem to think the Giants can win the Division by 1.5 games TODAY, but they are counting on two wins from the SuckO's. (Pirates)....OMG, this is heart attack time in your race. If You're count on the Pirates to be spoilers....
because unless the Braves have a total melt down, they have wild card pretty wrapped up.
Whats happening in the AL.....(looking at Google)WOW, I need to be looking at this every day! New York Yankees are 5 games ahead of the Bo Sox
We know the Tigers are magnificent, 13 games ahead of Cleveland....
Rangers are 5 up on the Angels (I don't think I ever saw an Angels game)
Wild card in the AL is tight/ Bo sox are holding tight for the lead at 88 and 68, Tampa bay right behind them at 85 and 67 they are calling that a 2 game advantage.
Tonights games......Pittsburgh (aka SuckO's) vs Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay and the NY Yankees, (mmm that'll be a good game it's on sun sports and My9)@19:05 EST Giants and Toronto, Baltimore and Boston, Atlanta and Marlins.......

I want the BoSox to get with it!! What is going on?? It is hard for me because my AL favorite are the BoSox, but I see Detroit as a good bet to take it all (even if my giants are in it again). Verlander is something- but the whole team is a good balance together. I'm really a NL person, though.
Oh- yes, every SF game now is torture- and I have to admit, I wish the Dbacks were playing another team right now!! But, AZ has been playing some very good ball all season really and they have a lot of heart. Lot of talent too.
Mainly, I want SF to get in the play offs. I love them, but I don't know if they are WS material this time. Although, they have been playing smart. But so many key players are out with injuries and although the rookies called up plus Keppinger and Beltran have been contributing this month, I don't know if they have the stuff again.
Kershaw is having a fine year and is a hell of a pitcher for LA. But he is going up against Lincecum tonight and like most of SF's starters, his win record has been screwed up due to the Giants lack of (and inconsistent) offense. The guy is a two time Cy Young winner. But, it looks like kershaw is in the Cy Young running very strongly in the NL. The kid is only 22!! A lot of poise out there on such a young guy. Actually, I would so love to see him in a SF uniform within a couple of years!!
Damn, I wish I could get more of the games of these other teams that all of you like! I hear blurbs on the sports shows about the Jays, BoSox, and the Rays but I wish I could catch a couple of full games. Hell, I usually have insomnia- I could watch at 2-3 am!! But, I will get to see them in the play-offs.
I LOVE this time of the year!! Give me October!!!
Thanks for the game info- now I gotta go watch my guys.. and hope Lincecum has his stuff. And the bats continue to hit!!
