Every day you must tune in, now. I'm loving it.

Fairly even pitching matchup. Hughes has been good. But yeah, we've got Ace.

I think we will win

we have finally surpassed Detroit in the mlb.com playoff probability

We really need both Detroit and Seattle to lose today.

That's really interesting.....go on.

Felix vs Price.

Hard to do that, since you know, they both play each other....

I want to watch that matchup.

On at same time as Royals I think?

I'll do picture in picture if it is....I want to see that too.

I'm thinking another 19 inning, demoralizing game where the winning team even feels like they really didn't win.

YES
