    • ****.

      We either score no runs, or give up a bunch of them. Rotate our run production across the last 3 games and we've clinched the division today.

      If we don't win tomorrow I'm going to scream...

        • Heard this bizarre story on the Cubs-Brewers radio broadcast this afternoon...

          Friday night, for the first time in the history of baseball, someone hit a HR, but did not get credit for scoring a run.

          Bengie Molina hit one off the top of the wall. It was ruled in play, resulting in a single. A pinch runner was inserted. Meanwhile, the manager comes out to argue and video replay is invoked. The call gets reversed. Home run.

          But because the pinch runner had been announced, Molina could not be reinserted. So he got a home run, 2 RBI (there was a man on), but the PR gets the run scored.

          Weird.

          • Sounds like if the replay reverses the call, it should revert to the game situation at the moment the call occurred... that's how it would be in NFL, anyway (you'd save any timeout you wanted to call, for example).

                    Sabermetrics can't come up with all the reasons teams act the way they do. Sometimes its just a mental breakdown. Though, as I have said, if Carlos Quentin had NOT gotten hurt, it wouldn't have been an issue today. The White Sox would have already had it.

                      • Oh well, guess I'll root for the Rays in the playoffs (my AL team). And, why not, the Brewers too (they haven't been there since '82 after all)

                        • Looks like an exciting playoffs though:

                          AL:

                          LAA v. BOS
                          TBR v. CWS/MIN

                          NL:

                          CHC v. LAD
                          PHI v. MIL

                          A nice mix of old vs. new. I'm rooting for the Angels and Rays in the AL and the Brewers in the NL (I'm torn between the Cubs and Dodgers... on one hand, 100 years, but on the other, I'd love to see Manny get his revenge after the Red Sox faithful are all dumping on him).

                          • HUGE game today. Detroit tries to play spoiler. The White Sox MUST win this game to force a one game playoff against the Twins at Chicago.

                            The game starts at 2:05 PM Eastern Time.
