    I was watching part of the Angles/Indians game today and he said he hasn’t made a decision.

      There are reports that state denial of his stepping down. And he was pizzed at the prelim reports.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Shoutout to the Red Sox for sweeping the Yankees in four and, coupled with the A's sweep of the Tigers (in which we didn't give up a single earned run), putting us 2.5 back of the first wild card.

          Boston now has the biggest division lead in MLB. In fact, they’re 8 games clear of the rest of the league.

            As a lifetime Red Sox fan and was 9 years old in 1964 for the other league, no lead is safe until they put the x by your name.

              Even if they end up with the 113 wins they are on pace for doesn't guarantee anything. Just ask the 116 win 2001 Mariners, 116 win 1906 Cubs or 111 win 1954 Indians to name a few.

                Considering how the 1907 and 1908 seasons wound up, I think the 1906 Cubs are fine with their season.

                  At this point I don't think they're too worried about much of anything.

                    I was simply pointing out that winning a record pile of games in the regular season doesn't guarantee any post season success and nothing more. I'm sure all three of those teams would gladly trade a few of those W's for a WS regardless what happened in following seasons.

                    As for the Cubs, winning back to back WS in '07 and '08, took some of the sting out of losing in '06.

                        Jeezus people no one said regular season results are automatically predictive of post-season results but would anyone not in the driver's seat (or not even close) not trade positions with the Red Sox right now?

                                I give this a 9.5/10.... That is probably the most creative way I've seen an umpire ridiculed. As a fellow ump, I just have to tip my cap and give credit when it's due. I really wish I could see a camera on the Field Umpire to see his reaction.

                                Also, last night saw the Dogs' coach handing 3rd base off to a kid in the stands after he gets tossed. The kid and his friends' reaction is classic . Independent baseball at it's finest!
