cravnravn Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Since we've clinched a spot, do you go to Tampa and rest or play it out? Quote
vmax Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 They're tied for fist and will play their ass's off to win the division.They want that and to play at home.Then they hit the playoffs on a roll. Quote
Spen Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I figure you need to try for the division. Not only is that a nice feather in their cap, it guarantees a 5 game series. Quote
thundercleetz Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 If the Yanks and O's are tied at the end of the 162 game season, game 163 will be played in Baltimore on Thursday for the division title. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Quote
cravnravn Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 Sad thing is Mr Cleet, Boston has thrown in the towel on the season, just look at their line up last night vs CC , I went thru the first 6 batters and everyone had been with the club since late August.. What a shame, guess its the Sox way of paying us back for what we did to them last season.. Quote

What a shame, guess its the Sox way of paying us back for what we did to them last season.. I was very disappointed to see Boston's lineup. It is a shame. We lost and Oakland won last night. We really need to win these last two games. I do not want to go to Oakland for a one game playoff. Quote
cravnravn Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 Im with Max on this one the league should investigate the Sox, what Boston did last night was throw the game, at least Pete Rose bet on his own team to win the dam games. Quote

Bobby Valentine will say he's simply playing younger players to get an evaluation on them. No different than a football team about to enter a rebuilding mode after being eliminated from the playoff race. Just a tough break for us. Quote
vmax Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Can you imagine!.... The Ravens will enjoy their bye week at the end of the month, which could dovetail nicely with an Orioles appearance in the World Series; Game 4 of the World Series is Sunday, Oct. 28.....Maybe they'll all be sitting around watching the Orioles in the World Series ...http://www.csnbaltimore.com/football-baltimore-ravens/ravens-talk/Previewing-Ravens-October-schedule?blockID=782211&feedID=6703 Quote
Spen Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Well I turned on the Yankees game just in time to see a 2 run shot to tie it up. My bad guys. Quote
Spen Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Later I was watching something on DVR and as it was over turned it off and the Yankee game was still on. Less than 30 seconds later it was over. I was real bad luck. Quote
vmax Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Here's what's next....it's crazy... Back east, the Yankees will host the Red Sox at 7:05 p.m. ET, with right-hander Hiroki Kuroda facing Matsuzaka and another Red Sox lineup consisting of hobbling veterans and Triple-A call-ups. The Orioles, meanwhile, will play at Tampa Bay at 7:10, with right-hander Chris Tillman opposing righty Jeremy Hellickson.If the Yankees win, they will finish with the league’s best record and open the Division Series at the wild-card winner on Sunday, with left-hander CC Sabathia pitching on an extra day’s rest.If the Yankees and Orioles both win, the Orioles would host the wild-card game on Friday, earning the home game by finishing with a better record than the AL West runner-up.If the Yankees and Orioles both lose, the Yankees still would be AL East champs, but not necessarily the No. 1 seed. They would finish with the same record as the AL West champion, but hold the tiebreaker only over the Rangers, not over the Athletics.And if a tiebreaker for the AL East title is necessary on Thursday?Left-hander Andy Pettitte would start for the Yankees. Rookie Steve Johnson, who injured his left knee and right foot when he was hit by a comebacker last Saturday, is in line to pitch for the Orioles, but Showalter almost certainly would lean heavily on his bullpen.The loser of the Thursday tiebreaker would drop into the next day’s wild-card game. If the Orioles won the tiebreaker, Sabathia could come back to pitch the wild-card game on short rest for New York. In the event of a Yankees win, Baltimore left-hander Joe Saunders likely would start Friday against Oakland or Texas.The wild-card opponent? Well, that would depend on the outcome of the AL West. The site? Ditto.http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/final-day-of-mlb-season-game-162-welcome-to-the-chaos-just-like-bud-selig-planned-100212 Quote
cravnravn Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 The best part, the Yaks threw Soriana 2 innings last night..Who throws their closer more than 4 batters!!, and it wasnt an easy 2 innings either Quote
thundercleetz Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Ugh I am so mad after the Yankees game last night!!! Andrew Bailey was absolutely terrible. Quote
varaven45 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Yep, Andrew Bailey blew our chances at the AL East last night. Quote
