D in case you haven't noticed winning is not something we are good at lately.

YAY... Sox beating up on Baltimore 8-0 in the 5th... we need this one after getting beat up by the dull sox 3/4...

Magic number is 33... :wizard:

Carlos Pena of Tampa Bay out for season with broken fingers after being hit by a pitch... that had to hurt ....

:carrot: Cards win 4-3. Whew that was a close one.

Matt Holliday 2 run homer in the 9th. They have got to do everything they can to resign this guy. Love having Pujols and Holliday batting 3 and 4.

Magic number 13.

Came from behind with 4 to win last night....so exciting...reminded me of the early part of the season....

those Rockies won't back down....dang

Oh dang. I went to bed before the end of the Dodgers game. I was feeling pretty good with the Rockies winning and the Dodgers and Giants behind in their games!
Darn Dodgers! At least the Giants lost!

Swept the Brewers.

Magic number 12.

Rockies won in a very exciting game! We're sneaking up on you Gary!

Magic number 25. (seems high)

YOU are not sneaking up....we hear you loud and clear. Another starter, WOLF, goes down for a start....that's 2 this week....dang

As least the giants are stinking up the place....yipee for that

Rockies sweep the Reds! Now 2 games behind the Dodgers. I'm wondering if this is going to come down to those last 3 games at Dodger stadium. Scary!

magic number 24

Diane we have 3 against you very soon.

We need payback after that dreadful series when you swept us.

I see your magic number and up it to 20!

We still have 7 with the Pirates...if that doesn't go well we don't deserve to win it!

I love your thinking here BIG BIRD!

MLB's day off???
 

What's up with this? NOBODY is playing tonight.

OK, except for the NY Mets.

And the LA Angles after I plan to go to bed; Gary will have to handle that one without me.

Waving to Sweetcaroline - Good night for an hour on your treadmill or sumptin'

Jack Buck's 9-11 Poem.

I've been seeing that series looming large the closer we get. I am NOT looking forward to it. You have so many guns there, including my favorite Matt Holliday.

Diane I'm looking forward to watching Holliday play. Should be a good series.

We are going to the game tonight. 3 against the Braves.

Terrible umpiring tonight.

Matt Holliday called out at the plate when he was clearly safe. Would have been a tied game.

The strike zone was a joke.

Oh don't worry BIG BIRD....looks like those Rockies are gonna pass us if we don't get it together....more bad news on our starting pitchers....dang...

which means we will probably play you first....dang!!!....double dang!!!

SWEET!!!

A big win for us...

feel asleep, in my chair, after watching the Rockies tie the padres in the 9th AGAIN!!!....woke up to see the padre winning run score...yes!!

Was beginning to think they were never going to lose again D....what an exciting race!

We won last night 9-1 against Tampa, we made them look silly... they called the game early due to rain.
Double Header today 12pm and 5pm... I'm ready for them both. :corn:

Congrats to Derek Jeter on his achievements this week. :cheer3:
He may be a Yankee, but as an overall baseball player I think he's one of the best... WTG Mr. Jeter...

Disclaimer: this Jeter post my be removed at anytime, if I change my mind in October for some reason...

Go away for the weekend and look what happens.

Swept by the Braves. Come on guys you have to get it together.

Red Sox Swept the Rays
 

And ready you were indeed by winnig both games over the Rays today. It feels good to now have a 4 game lead over the Texas Rangers in the Wild Card race.

Ugh we lost both games of a double header to the Phillies today, officially being eliminated from playoff contention. And the last game, 1-0 Phillies win was pitched by none other than Pedro Martinez. Nothing like rubbing salt in the wound.

Well, won only 1 of 3 with the Padres. Maybe the Giants will be a better series for us.

Cards win the first of 3 against the Marlins.

Todd Wellemeyer got the start and he did everything he could to lose it. Thank goodness he was pulled. Good job by the bullpen.

Magic number 10.

Sheesh. Lost 3 in a row. I really hope we bounce out of this slump! I like the winning streaks so much better. That darn Linsecum certainly has the Rockies number.....

Wow... National League turmoil... sorry guys...
We are just coasting along... I'm a little nervous tonight, We are playing the Angels. We need our own angels we have Dice-K pitching first game in 3 months, Youkilis down with back spasms, Martinez had to go home for personal time... but 4.5 games up in the wild card race is good with me.

Pats game last night helped {grin}... that was awesome...

Did you all see next year's schedules were released today?

I see the Dodgers will be playing the Red Sox in interleague play.

Wainwright going tonight :)

HI TEAM ~

Well those DODGERS got a little breathing room last night...most likely to give it back tonight!

DIANE no shame losing to Lincecum....the kid is a "freak" as they say...awesome pitcher.

BIG BIRD you have got to be feeling pretty good right now!

NATION I will bring fish tacos and Coronas to the game when WE play next year! congrats on the win tonight.

RAZZ glad to see you still watching! Baseball can be a loooong season when you lose...long....

Gary I'm not too comfy yet. We lost tonight to the Marlins.

We still need 10 wins.

Wow... Manny and Dodgers do Beantown... Ya think they did that on purpose ? and we open against the Yankees... what fun...

Dice K is BACK !!! well, tonight he was... all is good in Beantown... Right Bill ?

Clydegirl, bad connection at the farm, it was driving me crazy...darn WiFi's...

Yep, fish tacos and Coronas will do nicely. Loving the thought of Manny and the Dodgers at Fenway.

Did anyone see the Yankees fracas last night?

Bill, I heard about it, but never saw it. What a show!

Well, we're slumping big time right now. Another loss... really bad playing last night. Now we have to concentrate on holding on to the wild card instead of trying to steal the division lead. Grumble.

The Red Sox Nation know about that one.

Oh brother this is not good :(

WIN today...

kind of missing those footsteps.....

I love a good race....

anybody but the giants D!!!

Whew, finally! A win against the Giants, even though we almost let it slip away. We're off today and then on to Arizona.

Gary, hopefully, we can do some catching up.

Cards magic number down to 8 and we didn't play today.

Thany you Milwaukee.

Big Bird..... I just hope we don't play you!

NATION....nice series with my Angels......last night Angie says oh someone just scored...I had my back to the game, on the computer, and say who?...she says...the red team....it was the Angels....HA! Thought they had it since it was the 9th....wrong!! Up 4-3 right now....

D I think you are do for another 10 game run....good luck!

Gary they are playing us for 3 of those 10 games.

So maybe a run of 7 :)
