Scoreboard Watching Game Thread: 9/22

[Don Quixote]

What a bunch of worthless c***s the Athletics are. Class A pieces of S. Rot. MF-ing rot, worthless screwballs. They play baseball like they couldn't find sex on a hardcore porn set. FFS.

[fyodorovitch]

WTF, A's?

The Yanks don't deserve to win, but the A's sure as heck deserve to lose this game.

[caesarod]

Only if you brought enough for the whole class.

Oh yeah.

Many of the students may not appreciate the delivery velocity, though.

Look at this way, a Yankee win put some distance between the O's and their nearest Wild Card rival.

If this were the old Wild Card system with 1 winner, I'd be somewhat happy about that. With 2 teams and the 1-game playoff, I don't want the wild card. I'd rather the Orioles not play the A's either, even if it ends up being at home.

Sorry, for all you "it will be alright types" but there is no positive note in this.Winning the division is so much more valuable than a one game play in that it can't even be compared. No, there is nothing redeemable about the MFYs winning this game that they had no business, none, zero chance of winning. I do hope this loss cracks the As in two and they lose out the rest of their games to miss the playoffs.not that i am vindictive or anything. Lol.

The obvious question is how are the A's are where they are

The A's choked with a *four-run* lead and that may be a sign of how they'd do in the playoffs. But who instead of the A's for the other WC slot?

The O's are still only a game out. And I don't know why anyone would say the Yankees had no business winning that game. They've won a lot of games like that over the years.

The Yankees really are never going to lose again.

Just f-in never!

They're doing their best to blow it but they're still 2.5 up on the Angels and will be 2 up even if the Angels win tonight.

Of course, the A's get two series with the Rangers and the Angels get two series with the Mariners.

Replay that inning 100 times, Yankees win it once. Just that today was the once.

The A's are just being the A's. They are a young team, in awe of the Yankees, and they fold faster then Superman on laundry day when they play them in big situations.

Hmmm, reminds me of a team I once knew in years gone by. Lol.

[crawjo]

The Orioles are 87-64. That's amazing to me. There's nothing the Yankees could do to ruin this for me.

Against a young team in their own ball park in September? Replay that inning 100 times and the Yankees win it 15 or 20 times -- maybe more.
