Another blown call at the plate in extra innings, Cord Phelps called safe when Kurt Suzuki tagged him on the ass while his hand was still six inches from the plate.

 

Also, congrats to Derek Lowe on his first career HR.

Dbacks could end the Giants this weekend. I hope so.

[Station 13]

Dbacks defeated Giants last night. If they win today it is over the Giants.

General Patton gets a big K of JD to maintain the tie.

O's win!! Let's add a game to our lead!!

Beltre: 29HR 100RBI, and this after missing a month. Defense is still the best in the league at 3B.

 

He keeps that up 2-3 more year and 2 more solid season he could end up in Cooperstown.

 

Playing like 12 years in LA and Seattle cost him a lot of production.

He has a load of hits. He is on track for 3,000 hits.

Angels are down 2-1 in the top of the 8th inning.

[example1]

3-1.

 

Weaver gives up a 9th inning bomb to DeJesus.

 

This is the first time I've watched all 9 innings of a non-Sox or Yankees game in quite awhile...

[Station 13]

dbacks wins NLW.

Chieng Ming Wang is actually useful again.

[a700hitter]

Pudge Rodriguez just gunned out a guy. He's 40+ and he is light years better than Salty defensively. After Fisk, the only Sox catcher that I can remember that could throw was Pena.

[example1]

Johnny Damon and John Farrell simultaneously dicking the Sox. Farrell came out to check on Romero in the 9th with 2 on. Leaves him in. Damon hits a 3 run home run. This just isn't the Sox year...

Panic in all its splendor, 1.5 GB

 

And tomo Wake and Lackey. Whata weekend.

 

I will prefer watching soccer and football.

If the Cards hold off Houston (9-6 in the 7th), they will be going into the final game in a dead heat with the Braves.

[Station 13]

Beltre continues to be unbelievable. Homered 4 straight game, 12 this September, and 32 on the season despite missing 30 games.

[a700hitter]

Beltre continues to be unbelievable. Homered 4 straight game' date=' 12 this September, and 32 on the season despite missing 30 games.[/quote']Swapping Beltre and VMart for AGon and Crawford is not looking good from an offensive perspective and from a defensive perspective, we have much less flexibilty and the IF defense probably went down a notch.

[Cocos Disciples]

One downside of none of the first round matchups being set yet, is that I can't make my playoff threads yet! So stressful, though I know you guys are on the edge of your seat for those bad boys.

[VA Sox Fan]

On another note. In today's Mets/Reds game. Jose Reyes got a bunt base hit in his first at bat then they put in a pinch runner. He did it so he could end the season w/ a .347 batting average, attempting to win the NL batting title. Ted Williams would be amused.

[Cocos Disciples]

^ Bush-league move by Reyes.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I have no idea where to put this so I'll throw it in here. Doesn't really deserve it's own thread.

This is one of the best MLB videos I've ever seen. 45 minutes but it's worth watching. Those of you with MLB network probably already saw this.

Johnny Damon found his power swing at the perfect time for Tampa Bay.Damon hit a three-run homer and the sox went downnnnnn
