The Yankees are better at literally every position in this lineup except MAYBE catcher. What a joke.

[O's84]

Come on Texas, give up the run and get the DP and get out of this inning.

K and then a double play.

From your mouth to Dempster's glove!

[Big#3fan]

Dammit Ron Washington PULL HIM NOW

[O's84]

Is Texas going to get any outs this inning?

[Slappy]

Wow I was wrong, Oakland right back in it! Dey got gumption

[Palmoripken]

Aren't you guys glad we got Saunders instead of Dempster?

[OFFNY]

Yeah anyway. Texas is sure to blow the lead.

First and second, nobody out.

If we want to kill this rally, we should type "The Athletics are about to tie the game."

[Fan4Life]

There are two very possible ways we play either Texas or Oakland first which isn't my path of choice. If we win the AL East Division we plan the WC winner. If we lose the AL Division, we play to be the WC winner. Both of those outcomes will face either Texas or Oakland.

[Big#3fan]

Hopefully they both blow through their bullpen. Though they will get a day of rest

If we win the AL East, we go to Detroit. We cannot take the 1 seed in any form.

This, This is what I'm hoping for.

Last night I was wondering if Showalter will call Valentine after tonight's game if the Sux lose, regardless of reason....

"Bobby. Buck. Go F yourself. And no, you can't use me for a job reference."

Nah, that's not something Buck would say.

He'd say:

"Bobby....? It's Buck Showalter. Y'know, it's really frustrating that you didn't keep grinding. I was right there with you, staying tuned, hoping your team would have a little bit of spunk, or pluck, or scrap, or grit, or gut. I know what your team is capable of, and you know what your team is capable of. But. Y'know. You just didn't have it tonight. It's just frustrating. I'd say that you need to get out there and beat them tomorrow, but there will be no tomorrow for your team, so... y'know... see you next year."

I'd rather Oakland lose. In a WC game, I'd rather face Milone than Darvish. In a 5-game series, match-ups matter less.
