Go the Brew Crew !!!

Sitting pretty at the moment.
Good 3 games clear on top

Watching the Yankees game today to commentators mentioned that the comissioner is about to open investigations into the A-Rod saga and if found guilty a suspension is a real possibility.

Obviously this Prince Fielder signing is going to be vital for Milwaukee as potentially Ryan Braun and himself will be the best hitting duo in the majors. If Fielder signs elsewhere, I'd suggest Braun will go somewhere else when his current contract expires.

think braun signed a multi year deal 2 years ago

Yankees beat the Red Sox 3-2 in Game 1. Broke a 7 game losing streak against the Sox but most importantly now lead the AL East by a game

You are absolutely correct.

Has a contract in place that will keep in a Brewers uniform until the end of the 2020 season!!!!

GO THE YANKEES!

[Jim05]

Anyone catch the amazing game yesterday between the Yankees and A's?
Oakland led 7-2 at end of 4th and then Yankees went bezerk. Next 4 innings at bat for Yankees went 4,4,6,6, with the Yankees winning 22-9, awesome hitting display.
Now only 1/2 a game behind the Red Sox.
Phillies with the best record across the comp and the first side to 80 wins

Heaps of games postponed due to hurricane Irene on East coast.
The Yankees are bunkered down in a Baltimore hotel waiting for the hurricane to pass so they can continue their series against the Orioles

Milwaukee Brewers coming on strong with only 21 games to go as they have gone 30 and 8 in their last 38 games to sit 84 and 57 overall.
Curtis Granderson's certainly surprised me for the Yankees with 38 homers already this year after having only reached 30 (exactly) in a season before and with 24 steals he has an outside chance of joining the 30 homer/30 steals in a season club which has only been done by 34 players before.
Ichiro Suzuki seems to be back on track and if he can play 3 more seasons (he'll be 40 at the end of the 2014 regular season) that it will take to reach 3000 hits, it may be the best 3000 ever considering he didn't play his first major league game until he was 27.
Thought the Detroit Tigers may struggle a bit given the quality they've lost in recent years but they are currently 8 games ahead in the AL central and have the amazing Justin Verlander pitching a fantastic 21-5 season.

The tigers have some solid hitters with victor martinez, cabrera and delmon young. solid starting pitching and a lights out pen. i go for Cleveland looks like our season is over

[Jim05]

Watching the highlights and the Marlins just racked up 9 in the 3rd innings

[Jim05]

Well there is uder 20 games remaining in the regular season so I thought i would do a wrap on how things stand.
Sides eliminated from Post season contention already are:
AL: Baltimore, Kansas City, Minnesota, Oakland, Seattle
NL: NY Mets, Washington, Florida, Pittsburgh, Chicago Cubs, Houston, San Diego

In the post season race:
AL East: Yankees have a 3.5 game lead over Boston
AL Central: Detroit have a massive 10.5 game lead over the White Sox
AL West: Texas have a 2.5 game lead over the LA Angels
NL East: Philly lead by 12 games over Atlanta and have a 7 game lead over the Yankees for best record in the league
NL Central: Milwaukee lead St Louis by 6 games
NL West: Arizona have a 8.5 game lead on San Francisco

[Jim05]

Phillies are the first side to clinch a playoff spot, closing in on the 100 win mark.
Colorado eliminated from playoff race in NL.
Within a couple of days the playoff race should become much clearer as a few more sides close in on playoff spots, the Tigers only need 1 more victory and are hot at the moment, dropped their first game in 11 yesterday

[Jim05]

AL Chicago White Sox eliminated
NL Cincinnati Reds eliminated

[Jim05]

Detroit has clinched their first AL Central title sice 1987

Boston not looking good after the disaster against the Rays. Ortiz really needs to carry some weight in the batting line-up and think more about his prediliction of swinging over the top of breaking balls and chasing balls on the inside of the plate. Ellsbury and Gonzalez at the top of the order just need to regain some confidence. Red Sox miss Post Season is not a good headline to be read in the Boston Globe and heads will roll at Fenway Park if that happens

cant do much about injuries. still think they will make it. the rays are playing the yankees. boston baltimore. if they cant beat baltimore they dont deserve playoffs. The Giants are making a decent come back. could snatch it away from arizona. St luois getting hot atlanta dropping fast????

[Jim05]

Boston could only split their double header with Baltimore, lost the first in a close one but hammered them in Game 2. Still think they will make it as the Rays have 7 games against the Yankees coming up. Cone on Yankees only 5 wins remaining to stitch up AL east

[Jim05]

Boston dropped another game against the cellar dwelling Orioles. Lucky for the the Yankees crushed the Rays. Still think Boston will make it, once again there will be 2 teams from the AL East playing in the post season.
Spots are almost done and dusted but cant wait for the Sox v Yankees series over the weekend
