    Come on Baltimore! Gotta win tonight to at least secure the home field for the wild card game on Friday.

    Obviously the Yankees will win tonight because Boston stopped trying a few months ago.Can't wait to see ol' Bobby V get the ax.I can't stand that jack-ass ever since he made that remark about Baltimore just being lucky this year.

    A's win the AL West! I am on cloud 9. I cannot believe a team full of rookies turned the baseball world upside down. :rock

    Great,now my Orioles have to play at Texas on Friday.I'm just hoping that the Rangers are still going to be down in the crapper after blowing it against the A's.

    The past three days have shown that the Rangers are very vulnerable. As long as the O's keep doing what they've been doing they should be absolutely fine.

    Man, I never saw the A's beating out the Rangers in the west. That's a huge loss for the Rangers. I'm stoked that the Cardinals are at least making it past the regular season. I hope they smash the Braves on Friday.

    That's what I'm hoping...the old "beat 'em while they're down" situation.

    A lot of pressure though with only one game.You have a bad game....hell,a bad inning,and you're done.

    The A's had a TERRIBLE 3rd inning today. But these kids just don't know what quitting means.

    The Rangers seem mentally drained. I think the O's should have a win in Texas.

    Well...now that my Red Sox have finished their great season with a 14-2 stomping by the Yankees - I'm with ya!:D 

    I broke out my old A's hat this morning. It's been hanging in my entryway for about 6 years, lol.

    A's should serve as the blueprint for success for teams not wanting to spend a lot of money on FAs. I am not happy that my Dodgers absorbed so much payrolls and traded away so many pitching prospects. In the end the team probably did worse than if the trade had not taken place at all. Anyways I'll be rooting for A's to win it all this year, or at least a Nats - O's WS showdown. :)

    Wait, you're a Dodgers fan now too? What happened to the Mets?

    So let me get this straight, your sports teams are the following:

    San Francisco 49ers
    Los Angeles Lakers
    Boston Red Sox
    Los Angeles Dodgers
    New York Mets
    New York Rangers

    Am I missing any? :lol

    He was asked about how good the Orioles are this year,and his reply was something to the effect that they were just "lucky" this year.

    Nothing major,but considering how bad his Red Sox were this year,it just irritated me.

    Now he can put his fake mustache back on and go back to ESPN.

    Wait, I think I may have mistaken his avatar for the Red Sox. I think it was a Brooklyn Dodgers logo.

    Hahaha, I LOL'd.

    I was never a Bobby V supporter, but this big turd of a season wasn't his fault. It was a combination of injuries, TERRIBLE starting pitching, and a dysfunctional clubhouse (which you can put partially on Valentine, I agree...).

    That seems to be the theme with the Red Sox lately.

    Wasn't that a big reason why they let Francona go last year? I seem to remember hearing that he had no control of the team,especially in the clubhouse.
