I still smile when I see an Expos hat or jacket. I know they were transferred, but still.

My Tigers are rolling through September. They are looking strong going in to the playoffs. I still remember the excitement of making the World Series in 2006, even though we lost. I can't wait for the playoffs!

Well with the exception of BJ Upton my boys are trying. In theory if both the sox and yankees melt down we could get a playoff spot. I'm hopeful but isn't every fan.
My minor league dunedin jays are in playoffs right now. if we win tonight we'll go to state finals.

What the hell?! The Red Sox were flying through the season like a humming bird darting around, giving the Yankees what for, and now they're spiraling thanks to their bullpen, denying Tim Wakefield his 200th win. I had hope for this season, much like last season but I'm getting cramps of years gone by when the Sox just fall apart at the end of the season. Come on guys, dust yourself off and go get those Yankees!

BoSox are now 2-6 for September. Guess the usual August meltdown waited until September this year.

Hopefully they pull it together again soon, cuz September is a brutal schedule against other division rivals that could make even a wildcard berth difficult.

Be nice if Francona would stop shooting them in the foot too. I know he has to make do with a less than ideal pitching staff at this point but he needs to bring out the hook a lot sooner for those who just dont have it on a particular night.

Yeah- what the hell is going on with the Red Sox?

Ugh... my Giants are foundering too- I don't know if they can come back from an awful August. And AZ is just plain hot out here in the West.

Oh, yeah, Hack, the Tigers are very strong- I see a Tigers v Phillies World Series as a big possibility.

But... there can always be spoilers in the play-offs that explode.... some of the possible wildcard teams might get some good mojo going.

This time of the season is intense and exciting!! Love it!!

The Sox lost again today and Youk flew back to Boston for an MRI on his left hip, apparently he's been gimping around on it for a few days. That's the last thing we need...another injured player! Dustin Pedroia, Big Papi, and Jacoby Ellsbury can't carry the team alone.

I know Texas is hot right now, has been all season long. They were a wild card for the ALDS last year and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them again this year. They're young, healthy, and strong as a team and Ron Washinton is a great manager.
