Skanks are a decent distance in front of the Twins and Halos.

11 of their next games are against Cleveland, Twins, KC, and Orioles.

Yankees are 5 up in loss column on angels with 19 to go. Not catching them unless you go 15-4. You want them to beat up on twins,kc and Balt.

Cleveland is about to win their 19th game in a row.

1962 Los Angeles Dodgers

Paired along with Don Drysdale, the Dodgers again seemed to cruise to another pennant, but unexpectedly lost a four-game lead with ten games to go starting September 22. They lost eight of their next ten, including their last four and found themselves in another three-game playoff for the pennant. 

***********************

Anything is possible, not probable but possible. Besides the Yankees are out of our control, we need to win as many games as possible and that's all we can do.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Orioles lost their 5th straight.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

People here have mentioned wanting to sign Moustakas this off season. I've been watching him play lately, and he throws very much like Escobar throws; poorly.

Pretty good day. The Yankees are beginning to turn on the after burners

Angels have three games against the Astros, and are favored to lose each of them. we will be facing Verlander and McCullers for the first two, and have our anchor Nolasco going for the third. Meanwhile, the Twins have two games that they are heavily favored to win against the Padres, and one against the Blue Jays (where the twins are also favored to win, going against Brett Anderson and his 5.9 ERA and 4.33 FIP) in that span. We are one game back right now. It seems likely that we will be in an ugly place by the end of this series. If we end this and are either tied or in the lead of the WC, that will be an incredible sign for things to come, and I will start to regain hope in this team. The schedule looks a lot more even after that - we both have a series against the indians, we both have a series against a playoff team (astros and yankees), we face the white sox, the rangers, and mariners; they face the tigers twice and the blue jays once. Our schedule is still harder, but not by much.

The tankin' Tiggers may end up ultimately getting the Twins into the WC game.

Trading Verlander, Martinez, and Upton over the past two months took tanking to a new level.

That's not tanking, that's a full rebuild.

That JD Martinez trade and what they got for him in return is full retard IMO.

If only Diphuk had been able to trade similar meh players for Grienke, and not trade Segura for a rental.

my wife still says that there's nothing wrong with Tanking.

i'm not worried about this team against verlander. they've hit him in the past - he doesn't own us, not by a long shot.

At least this game is here, where his worst starts against the Halos have been.   Now watch him pitch 3-hit baseball tonight.

[tdawg87]

These pitching matchups are atrocious. 

I predict a sweep.

 

 

By the Angels.

Or Segura converts to 2B?

Doesn't matter now, but I doubt Eppler goes after a SS if we had Segura.

[tdawg87]

Twins already up 2-0 and still threatening. 

Hope the Angels are prepared to win every game.

[m0nkey]

Chalk it up as a W for the twins, up 7-0 in the second inning
