Pride, Power & Pinstripes

(88-64) Another one run loss. Four runs in the fourth inning was not enough to keep Oakland at bay. Road trip starts with the Twins tonight and then four with the Jays. Pettitte on the hill. Ten games to go.

You know what's gonna happen...

..last series of the season.

You know it. The redsux are gonna sweep us effectively taking us out of the post season.

Cause last year's karma is a bitch.

I can feel it coming.

Thank god your predictions are oh so not accurate, otherwise I might have to make a visit to AZ and kick your ass Oh and maybe steal a GPZ to play with

(89-64) Four long balls and 6 scoreless frames by Pettitte results in a win. Now a game and a half up on Baltimore.

hope i don't jinx it, but magic number time:

Letting Nix hit after pinch hitting for Ibanez? Ugh. At least the O's lost.

i really hate girardi again (and he was having such a decent year). keeps c.c. in for 8 innings and 118 pitches, when the yankees are up 8-2, after he's been on the dl 2x this year (2x in his previous 11 years, hadn't been on it for 6 years prior to this), and when the big guy's not been looking real sharp.

(90-65) A one run loss and a win last night still puts us one and half games ahead with 7 games to go. Four in Toronto and they finish at home with Boston.

its been really exciting. It seems the O's can't lose.

I made it to two games this year, both in Camden Yards (I previously had never been). That is a beautiful ballpark.

Thankfully one of my games was w/ Yankees & they won, much to the chagrin of the O's fans, who some cursed us very badly, I told em to go get me a beer

Go Yanks

(90-66) Shutout courtesy of the Jays gives the Yanks a one run lead over the Orioles. Nova coughed up four runs and couldn't go 5 complete frames.

Go ahead. Aint my bike anyway.

(92-67) The Yanks are in the post-season after the Angels lost to Texas, but their role is undefined. Still tied with Baltimore and three games to go at home with the Red Sox. One hell of a comeback yesterday, but they are going to need a lot more of that grit and determination to win the AL East and the pennant.

Red Sox (Buchholz, 11-7) at Yankees (Sabathia, 14-6), 7:05 p.m.

Orioles (Chen, 12-10) at Rays (Cobb, 10-9), 7:10 p.m.

Could be a fight to the finish.

Derek Jeter -

This guy is having one of his best years evuh @ 38 yrs young - Big Fcuking WOW

He needs 7 hits to have the most ever in a season for his career:huh

I'm booking my room for Cooperstown now for 2022

Go Yanks

way to ruin my prediction Yanks. way to ruin it.

We skip ,magic number 4 and go to 3 and 2...




...and girardi continues to look like he really wants cc's arm to fall off, leaving him in for 8 innings in a blowout, after a loooong second inning, and not ruling out pitching him on short rest Friday if it comes to it. Grrrrr.

(93-67) Two games to go in the season. Lester vs. Phelps could be an interesting match up tonight.

Girardi continues to confound me, pulling Phelps after 86 pitches when he's cruuuising. The o's also squeak one out against a brilliant game by shields (9ip, 15 so, 0bb, 2 hits, 1 run), but we're down to 1.

Sorry Billy Martin, you were entertaining, but you were a huge jerk, so the honor goes to Murcer....

I enjoyed that one thoroughly.

(94-67) Just finding ways to win! It took twelve innings, but they are still one game ahead. On the down side, Texeira went 0 for 6 with nine runners LOB. Kuroda Vs. Matsuzaka for the final game of the season.
