  1. The division races in the AL are still tight. NY up 1 on BAL, CHI up 2 over DET, and TEX up 3.5 on OAK. LAA and TB are only a game back of a WC spot.
    The NL divisions are pretty much won, but ATL, STL, LAD and PIT are within 2.5 games of the WCs.

    Should be an exciting couple weeks.



    LOL Redsox.

  2. Its a little disappointing that baseball discussion dries up the second football season starts. I think this'll be a great September.
  3. I have a feeling the Angels are going to ride this hot streak all the way...
    Thread Starter
  4. i have the A's at 40-1 to win the division. Just hope I have a sweat the last week of the season..
    1
  5. Oakland's schedule the rest of the way:

    4 @ LA
    3 vs Baltimore
    3 @ Detroit
    3 @ New York
    4 @ Texas
    3 vs Seattle
    3 vs Texas

    If they make the playoffs, or even the wild card game, I will be impressed as fuck. They've had a great season regardless.

  6. yea i highly doubt a's can win it. theres gotta be a hedge you can make to at least make 3-4x your bet, id do it
     
  7. yeah i know a's have rough schedule and rangers play indians/seattle coming up I think. Can't find odds anymore so no way to hedge. A's have been doing it all year, just need 3 more weeks.

    7 of their last 23 against Texas, they'll certainly have their chances
  9. Phil's are only 6 games back in the WC and have remaining series against Miamix2, Astros, Lolmets, washx2 and Atlanta. Atl should be a tough series but expecting wash to already have the east locked up.

    Can the Phils actually make the WC?
  10. Phillies are 69-71. They better start winning games in bunches, and hope everyone else in the WC race loses in bunches.
    Need a sick heater.

  11. Philly has their work cut out for them. Tough to pass 3 teams, especially since stl is a LOCK

    That is the problem with the new system, you see you are only 5.5 games out, which is certainly striking distance, but there you have to pass 3 teams ahead it is damn near impossible. Under last year's system Philly is 11 games out needing 4 teams to collapse

    So wait, what's the problem?
  14. Tex down 2 weeks and pettite not back. Yankees are going to need to earn their money these last 3 weeks. Looking forward to some great baseball, fuck football.

    Well considering they only have 3 good offensive players and their defense is horrible I guess I'm not too shocked. I mean ffs they batted Ryan Raburn 2nd tonight. On purpose!

    can you just stop posting in sports threads?

    When SD completes this win over STL (lol cards, you guys suck), the Phils will be only 5 back after STL/ATL/PIT all lost and the Phils just keep on winning.



    and I'm still trying to figure out what you meant by "that's the problem with the new system".............................
  23. ill put any amount your dave and busters salary can afford on cards vs phils

  24. I don't get a salary at DnB. I work for tips.

    I get a salary at my full time job that I also work, but I am not willing to put that up on gambling.

    You seem sort of nervous by throwing out what I assume is an attempted insult by mentioning the fact that I work at a restaurant, which is understandable. If my team was tanking so hard, I'd be pretty nervous too.

    Are they not eligible for the playoffs or something?

    The Phils are 5 games back and need to hop 3 teams (and they are tied with another). I never once said I expect them to make the postseason, just that I am excited with the way this team is playing.

    Pros:
    -They've won 5 straight and 8 out of 10.
    -They have a fairly easy* schedule down the stretch.
    -The pitching has been lights out the last 2 months (including Kyle Kendrick who has been pretty dominant his last 4 starts).

    Cons:
    -They don't ahve and H2H matchups with the teams they are trying to catch (except, if you include ATL but they seem to be too far ahead).
    -The bullpen still scares the ever living shit out of me.

    *I say easy as in I believe they should win, based on how they are playing compared to the teams left on their schedule. The phils could certainly come crashing back to their beginning of the season form.

    To say they have no shot is pretty stupid, it's a tough tough road ahead to make it, but hey, why the fuck not AMIRITE? TMLMS needs to stick to library updates/hockey.

    I mean this new system gives false hope to teams in Philly's position.

    If the Phillies get to the playoffs you can ban me for one month
  30. I still don't understand your argument, and your explanation of your statement makes me believe you are an even bigger retard then I had originally thought.
