To match the corrosion on their last World Series trophy?

Hey, their last one is only 9 years ago.

Oakland won last night in Texas but isn't home free yet. 2 up on Seattle with 2 to go

KC pulls to within one game of Detroit.

Cleveland got knocked out on Friday

Houston's win last night assures that they won't finish last.

And the trend continues of nobody actually wanting these final AL slots.
Oakland losing, Detroit losing (big), KC losing, Seattle losing.

[Frayed Knot]

Seattle loads the bases in the bottom of the 9th w/no outs in a tie game and a chance to stay in it ... and they don't score (K, K, FO).
Heading for extras.

Oakland, Detroit & KC all lost.

Mariners win in the 11th. First and third, one out. Austin Jackson hits a grounder to second. Angels get the 4-7 putout but Jackson beats the return throw by a step.

No, that's not a typo. They were playing the five-man infield.

Tigers win to capture the Central
KC game now means nothing although they're losing in Chi-town.

Oakland leading in Texas 2-0 in the 4th
Seattle game just starting with King Felix on the mound.
Still a small shot at having a Game #163

Sonny Gray pitches Oakland into the 2nd WC spot with a complete game 4-0 shutout. It's been a long fall from baseball's best record and best +/- at mid-season but it beats missing out entirely.
Seattle also leading 4-0 but it's a case of TLTL

A's @ KC Tuesday night on TBS - survivor heads to Anaheim
Orioles host Tigers

Sonny Gray Complete game, 103 pitches, zero walks, shutout! whoa
