vs. DEVIL RAYS 9/13

[Rex Thunder]

I think this one just about buries the Rays. Think about being 4 games out with, what, 19 to play?

No wayyyy. They hav Yankees and us to end season. Did you not watch the last week of the season last year?? The Cardinals??

[caesarod]

Much too early to say that.

Yes, but what am I gonna do with this shovelful of dirt?

[Malike]

If Tampa sweeps NY, which is possible, and Oakland sweeps us, which is possible. Tampa is right there. No way this buries them. They have 3 more with us. They just need to keep winning games.

They could sweep the Yanks just as fast as we swept them. Throw in we could get swept by the A's and boom, they're right there again.

Rather see the Rays sweep them. Keep the Yanks out of the Playoffs.

Yep, a playoffs with no Yankees and Red Sox in it and us in it hasn't happened since 1983.

Oh for f's sake. We had a day game today? Its Thursday why do we have a day game? :slytf:

Here I am, got my dinner, all ready to tune in for a typical 7:05 game only to find out I missed an epic one.

I wouldn't count too many chickens yet. The 1964 Phillies were 6-1/2 games in front of the Reds and Cards on September 20th, with just 12 games left to play. On September 27th, they were a game behind the Reds and a half game in front of the Cards. At the end of the season, the Phillies were tied with the Reds, a game behind the Cards.

That did require a historic collapse and Gene Mauch arguably fell apart down the stretch, starting Jim Bunning on just 2 days rest twice in the final week. If he'd kept Bunning on his normal 3-4 days rest, I think the Phillies could have hung on and captured the pennant.

The Rays are NOT out of this yet. That's a little bit silly IMO. I mean...they're starting a 3 game series with the Yankees tonite. They could make up ground like that especially with Baltimore going into a difficult series with the A's. Tampa's pitching is too good to discount them this soon. I mean truly.....too many games still need to be played to see where this goes. Plus the Rays take on Baltimore the last three games of the season in Tampa.

Thankfully...I will be there rooting on the Orioles at the Trop the last game of the regular season.

I was sitting in my car yesterday as the 8th-14th played out. Some of the time it was like a stakeout...sitting alone in the car in the corner of the parking lot, radio on, with donuts and...well, not coffee, but tea. I was trying not to cuss too loudly, though, since the windows were open. Finally caught up with the thread...wow.

Victims of dinks, dunks?

Can't hit to save their damned lives?

Os win anyway

Ended at fourteen

The streak of losing seasons

It wasn't easy

Headed to Oakland

The Coliseum of Doom
