Quote from IPT : Told u Yanks would take care of business. And fantasy ends with a tie to Roland for 1st

Congrats to IPT (and to me haha).

And skeeza, yep that's the team name you came up with so I kept it and rolled with it the last two years.

Wait so standings are not final? I think u and me are set Chen...wonder if third is yet to be decided

Quote from IPT : I still think you're hustling me on the $500 and will take the off season to consider it lol. Now for anyone who cares to see how tight it actually is in our league: Basically everything's locked in on the stat front for us except for Batting Avg. I can't catch up in any of the pitching stats, nor really drop anywhere so my pitching points are set only improvements I can have are in HR, and to maintain my SB lead.(3 ahead of 2nd place) Roland, you're 13 saves behind 11th place, even if rodney gets a save tonight, its still useless for you considering you own the lead for K, ERA and WHIP, there's no improvements there lol If you get a SB, you may break the statistical 0.5pt tie and we'll end up tied for 1st? DONT DO IT MAN! lol

Actually...because Rodney got a save for Team I Like Balls, he tied with you in that category and took away half a point from you, enabling the tie. If balls had started gregerson last night you would've lost another half point and I would've had sole possession of first.

Also, you lost a point in whip last night because team tebow had kershaw and vogelsong pitch gems. Guess who traded him kershaw at the deadline

Haha, so that weak single off their middle reliever made you a hundred bucks? Rodney only got 1 out...and barely got in because the O's started to hit Joel Peralta. Crazy how those little things that don't really mean anything can have such an impact on fantasy sports, haha

So, Who does everyone have for the World Series? I'd love to see Detroit v. Cincinnati.

That, amongst other things netted me an extra 150.

I want to see Oakland win it all.

I was rooting for them, so glad they threw Texas down in the dumps and into the WC. I think Texas is incredibly powerful but they are going to need to rally like none other... I am looking forward to Friday but I have a softball game right during game time! Hopefully I'll be able to stream it somehow...

The A's have only won an ALDS series once (2006), it feels like they have been to the playoffs more than just once since 2003...

Clearly that stadium has the seats for football...has anyone ever gone there? Are the seats on the upper deck removed now or does the football team still play there? (Getting that place and candle stick mixed up, I think) It would be awesome to see them remove the tarps and sell seats, get 60k at a baseball game!!! haha

i also pulled off that miracle by my yankees hitting 4 HRs last night (2 from cano 2 from grandy) to gain the 0.5 pt
Or i'd have lost to you

Indeed. A trifle annoying to say the least. LOL

That five homer outburst had already occurred so you were already put front by 0.5. Then Rodney got the save.

yeah but that whip from kershaw and the giants pitcher is what did me in, or i'd have won with 0.5 =P

Btw, i was at the game with my friends (obviously u know that now), and i called Cano's 1st & 2nd HR, and Granderson's 1st HR

Also called them walking ARoids to get to Cano, who promptly hit a double and recorded RBI 5 & 6

I just bought 4 tickets to the Game 7 of the ALCS at Comerica Park vs. the Baltimore Orioles.

Will it happen? Probably not, less than 1% chance I'd guess...but I figure the 3 cents interest I am giving up while they hold my money is worth it.

are those tix valid if its the yankees?

you'd be waiting a loooooooong time for game 7 against the yanks

No, because if you win, Detroit is the underdog and would only have 3 home games, making these tickets obsolete.

hence my comment waiting a long time =P

Boom...headshot! Right between a Tiger's eyes.

Quote from menace33 : Boom...headshot! Right between a Tiger's eyes.

Coco Crisp was just centering back on normal. He won't drop another ball costing the team the game, but he isn't going to be robbing home runs every game either.

Looks like Scherzer is the starter for tonight. Hopefully he is on, has had some nagging injuries lately. I'd expect to see him go ~5, then Porcello come in for ~2.

Go figure, the A's are throwing another rookie...
