Down the Stretch - AL Style

[Frayed Knot]

And Josh Hamilton drops a fly ball and it's 7-5 Oakland who are still batting in the 4th.

The Oakland sun claims another victim

Related On the wet, slippery path, Valentine was reading a text on his phone from Dustin Pedroia, the Red Sox second baseman, and riding his bicycle. When he looked up, he had to swerve to avoid the umbrellas of two French tourists walking in front of him.

That's just... holy crap.

Don't it make Josh's blue eyes bluer?


HIs was actually one of three dropped pops (three that I know of anyway) so far in that game.

Great game...Have not seen one moment like this at Citifield since it opened...and these are the A's

The A's are that much better than the Mets?

A's just pulled the finger out of the dyke!

Isn't that something Fman would say?

[Guest Kong76]

Perhaps

Not only was Oakland 5 back with 9 to play and 13 back in August, this is the first time all season they have been alone in first.

Unreal-- five rookies in their rotation, 130+ HR since the All-Star Game, and the second-best record in MLB since June 1.

Another cheap homerun gives the MFYs the lead... cheap meaning that it wouldn't even have reached the warning track at most ballparks.

Am I right in interpreting this schedule to mean that the AL Wild Card winner will play the Yankees even if it's Baltimore? In previous years teams from the same division were not allowed to meet in the Divisional Series, but if that's changed, I approve.

They changed the divisional rule this year, yes.

MFY fan in my office (I'm in DC) is giddy about seeing his team in Baltimore on Sunday and Monday... if the Orioles win tomorrow night.
