Isn't it interesting how the Cards have crept back into the race? Wouldn't it be funny if they got into the playoffs and go all the way through again and win the World Series?

I would find it very funny and I know I would laugh. :D

Ivan - I used to like you.
 
Hat tip to rookie Clay Buchholz for his no-hitter tonight for the Boston Red Sox against the Baltimore Orioles, 10-0.

Might the Mets choke?

As of today, the way the Phillies and the Padres are playing that the Mets could miss out on the playoffs altogether!
 
Lucky for the Cubs they do not have to play the Brewers for the rest of the season.
 
Right now the Brewers are winning and the Cubs are losing. As an ardent Cardinals fan I'm rooting for the Brewers. The Cards are out of it. Too many injuries and never really enough pitching. There may be lean years ahead for them.

The Brewers are a marvelous young team with a great future. They may not make it this year, but they are going to be big trouble in the years ahead.

I like the team, although they might want to get a different manager.
 
The Mets Lose Again!

And meanwhile the Padres and the Phillies win! The Phil's are 1.5 back and the Mets now have the same record as the wildcard leading Padres.

Will the Mets choke?
 
Boston's lead over the Yankees is now 2.5 games.

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Boston, you are the only only only
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Red Sox, you are the only only only :sing:

First of all, I hate the Yankees. Why did Boston have to let them get so close. They are going to get a Wild Card and we'll have to see them more.

How about them Orioles? I think I have a headache from bangin' my head against a wall every stinking year. :banghead::banghead:

Don't worry, if the Angels can secure home field, then they will play the Yankees in the first round. Bye Bye Yanks... (The Angels own the Yankees)
 
No chance for playoff, but....

Sunday will be special.

I have a ticket in row six off the field for the last game at RFK Stadium on Sunday. Growing uo I was a Senators fan, and after they left in 1971 the Orioles were home team while in exile.

Now after three years of the Nationals, DC will open a new field in 2008.

Here we go Cubbies! Up three runs in the first on homers by Soriano and Ramirez! Starting to play like a team that wants it!
 
There is a possibility Cardinals skipper Tony LaRussa might jump ship and join the Mariners. What are your guys thoughts on LaRussa?

I grew up with Washington sports. I am a diehard Redskins fan. Grow tired of watching the Capitals lose. Never got into Lez Boulez (now the Wizards). But, I guess I was too late for the Senators. I grew up with the Orioles being the only game around.

I long for the days of Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, and Wild Bill Hagee revvin' up the crowd...

Still, it is great that DC has a team. I went to opening day last year against the Mets. It will be neat in a new stadium.

Josh Beckett of the Boston Red Sox is the season's first 20-game winner in the MLB. :up:

He's having a great year, but I have a hard time thinking of him as a Red Socks. To me he will always be that kid in Florida who borought down the mighty Yanks!

No one will remember the Dodger's free fall because of this: (From MLB.com)

Any future discussion of the greatest collapses in baseball history will henceforth begin with the 2007 New York Mets, who on Sunday finished squandering a seven-game lead with 17 games to go.

The Mets became the third team to fold out of a seven-game September lead, but they sat on that cushion later than the two precedents: The 1938 Pirates led by seven on Sept. 1, with 26 games remaining, and the 1934 New York Giants held that edge on Sept. 6, with 21 games left.

What's the mood like in NY?
