You do realize that We are officially out of the Wild Card

What a crazy game' date=' that was a bomb by Wang. 2 outs to go.[/quote']

8-7 F PIT win. Crazy game, 3 huge momentum swings in the game late.

Only 2 back from Minnesota for the 2nd WC. 5 back from HOU/LAA for the 1st WC and 7 back from the Yankees. Gaining ground. Minnesota has lost 3 straight and have a tough bunch of games ahead of them.

1 more vs Pitt at home

3 @ Clev

That's a tough August. I haven't looked at too many remaining schedules but that seems real tough.

If Duquette can snatch an OF bat, I'm confident Os can snatch one of the wild card spots.

They seem to play well against us. Sano is a beast. Going to be a fun series if the standings are still close.

I think 90 is a good goal, but it's possible it won't take that many to win a wildcard spot. The A's and Royals got in last year with 88 and 89 wins, respectively. Right now the Astros are on pace for 89 and the Twins are on pace for 86. Just start winning series with some consistency and see where it takes you.

And 93 wins wouldn't have been good enough in two of the last ten years. 90 is a fair target. One team will get hot.

Trout supposedly has a mild sprained wrist. He wasn't in the lineup tonight. That might be something we want to keep an eye on.

MRI came back negative. Trout will probably play tomorrow.

We only play 20 games against teams that are over .500. 10 home, 10 road.

Minn- 23 games. 10 home, 13 away

Tor- 31 games. 17 Home, 14 away

TB- 22 games. 13 Home, 9 away

Our schedule sets up favorably down the stretch.

That's certainly encouraging.

1-0 Buccos on a homer by Kang. Tigers are down again today. They say they are in the race but may not be much longer.

Do we want them completely out though? They do play twins a bunch of times

I want to see the Tigers hang on to their talent since it's not coming here. Detroit broke up Archer's perfect game in the 7th, with 3 hits (and two bad plays by A. Cabrera at SS, one an error) and now lead 2-1, with Archer at 100 pitches.

Twins up on the Bucs, 3-1, after 3.

McCutchen ties it up.

Pirates take 4-3 lead...1st and 3rd one out in top 6.

It's mlb game of day for those that want to follow.

And now:

@Buster_ESPN: Pirates beating the Twins 8-3, top of the 6th, after a couple of defensive mistakes by the Twins.
