I told our benevolent founder that exact thing on Sunday. My faith was rewarded with the Guthrie debacle.

What a fun game. Was shocked that there was 22k there tonight. Last night there seemed to me more people there and there was only 1k difference. Very energetic crowd. (although last night it was much more energetic) Lets get Tampa to win again tomorrow and beat the crap out of Texas this weekend!

They're tied with Cincy right now bottom of 9.I like what Mitch Williams said on MLB network the other night when the other guys were talking about the Indians schedule being easy,"Hey I've been there and you don't want to be playing teams with nothing to lose down the stretch."

Guess after this weekend that includes KC as well though.

And I'll give credit when it's due, Yost managed the bullpen perfectly tonight. Meanwhile, Francona was (albiet playing the percentages for L/R matchups) trotting everyone he could out there. You could tell both coaches knew that this was an important game.

Good point, look what the Royals normally in their last couple of weeks of most years.

10k mojo wasted. Bummer.

C'MON, CHEN!

We let our last 2 loses take us farther down the road of not making it. It's possible, but the odds are stacked against us. The Astros will not beat Cleveland 3 times .... It would be sweet, but not going to happen. That game last night might of cost us a playoff spot!

I see it unfolding like this ....... Games left,projected finish and total won\ lost. We have to go at least 8 - 2 to close out or it's over, It's going to come down to Tampa Bay, Cleveland & KC., but we have to sweep Texas!

Tex 11 5 - 6 87 - 75
Bal 11 6 - 5 87 - 75
N Y 10 7 - 3 87 - 75
T B 11 7/6 - 4/5 90/89 - 72 /73
Cle 10 7/6 - 3/4 89/88 - 73/74
K C 10 8/7 - 2/3 90/89 - 72/73

I could see us winning out until the Chicago series and then lay several eggs.:cuss::cuss:
