Mlb 2013

Cards pull back to even with the Pirates in the NL Central with a 7-2 win to escape the sweep. I love a good pennant race in September. Roster will be expanding soon. Cards have brought up 19 rookies this year out of their minor league system. The most by any MLB team. No matter how it turns out, this is gonna be fun!
 
Wainright got shelled again for his 2nd straight outing. I suspect he has a tired arm, but who knows. I hope they get him straightened out, we are gonna need him badly.

Problem is St. Louis, Cincy, and Pittsburgh are going to duke it out amongst themselves in a tight race for division and the two wild cards. With only 3.5 games separating them, they need to keep their regulars in if possible cause no one wants to have to deal with a one game playoff if you can get the division title.
 
The 24 yr losing streak is hopefully over for the EL Lay Dodgers although I'm sure adding Micheal Young to the roster doesn't increase my confidence it won't go further.

Funny how the National League worked out this year... LA and ATL are cruising their Divisions: LA has three games left with a team playing for anything but pride and their position next season. Atlanta has no games left with a contender. They do need home field, however, as they are only .500 on the road.
 
I'm happy for Pittsburg fans. The great teams of the '70s are what I remember. Stargell, Clemente, Sanguilen, the great pitching (Blass before he lost it.) 20 years without a winning team. That's a shame.
I hope the tight race in the NL Central will convince MLB that interleague games reduce division competition and get rid of it.

The NL Central looks like it may come down to the wire. Cards offense finally showed signs of waking up last night against the Pirates getting 9 hits in a row during the 7th inning. Pirates didn't give up and came back to make the final 12-8 in a Cards win. Reds beat the Dodgers 3-2. Three teams within 2.5 games of each other with Pitt holding a .5 game lead over the Cards. Good stuff!
 
Cards and Pirates continue to beat the crap out of each other at home. Cards win 5-0 to retake the lead in the division. Wainwright pitched 7 innings giving up 2'hits with 8K's. Nice to see after getting shelled his previos 2 starts.

I like the chances for whoever comes out of the NL central to make it to the WS. Dodgers and Braves both have comfortable leads in their divisions and it will be hard to not begin resting some players which can cause them to coast. IMO not what a team needs to be doing heading in to the playoffs. The teams that go into the end of Sept. scratching and clawing and winning games can be very tough at the right time.
 
Congrats to the Pirates for breaking their losing streak. I am okay if they and my O's have a rematch of the 79' Series as long as we win it this time...... :D
 
This is fun
The last time the pirates had a winning season

•The average gallon of gas in the United States cost $1.05.

•The Rodney King trials/riots in Los Angeles took place in 1992.

•The top five grossing movies for the year were Aladdin,Home Alone 2,Batman Returns,Lethal Weapon 3 and A Few Good Men. Unforgiven would win best picture for the year (obviously awarded in '93 -- the best picture winner at the 1992 Oscars was The Silence of the Lambs).

•"End of the Road" by Boyz II Men set a record for the longest-running single atop the Billboard chart ever at 13 weeks. The record wouldn't even last a year, though, as "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston broke it.

•The year as a whole had a variety of timeless number one hits for one reason or another -- some humorous -- like: "Jump" by Kris Kross, "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, "I'm Too Sexy," by Right Said Fred, Michael Jackson's "Black or White" and "To Be With You" by Mr. Big among several others (Madonna, Mariah Carey, etc.).

•Grunge truly arrived in mainstream as Nirvana's "Nevermind" was the top album.

•Some of the top rated TV shows were Roseanne,Murphy Brown,Cheers,Home Improvement,Designing Women,Coach,Full House and Murder, She Wrote.

•The Simpsons began its fourth season. So did Seinfeld.

•The Cartoon Network launched.

•Jay Leno took over as host of The Tonight Show while David Letterman still hadn't debuted with CBS.

•MTV's "The Real World" debuted, launching the modern genre of reality TV.

•Microsoft released Windows 3.1.

•Compact discs replaced cassette tapes as the most sold medium when it came to recorded music.

•CBSSports.com was still two years away from being founded as SportsLineUSA.

So, yeah, it's been a while.

Congrats, Pittsburgh.

After a 4 game losing streak on the road, Dodgers come back with 2 straight wins over the DBacks, on the power of 6 homes in the first game, and a walk off homer by rookie Scott Van Slyke last night in the bottom of the 11th.

Magic number now down to 6 as the Dodgers hope to keep this new streak going. Giants already eliminated, sorry to say a fast fall from last year's Champs to cellar of the West.

Dodgers looking to get their pitching arranged for the playoffs and tune up the offense and defense for a deep run.

The Playoffs will be interesting with the Cards, Reds, Pirates and Braves to contend with. This will be a fun October.

Go Blue!
 
GO
ROYALS!!!!

Took last two from the Tribe ... now onto Detroit for three. Still longshot for post season, but who cares? I haven't been able to say Go Royals this late in the season since .... ah, geez, George Brett days!

Yeah, it is nice to see the Royals playing some September baseball when it could mean something. I would love it if the squeaked into a Wild Card team. Man,'over the years if they would have kept and paid some of the stars they have brought up through their system, they would have contended a few times I am sure. They sure suffered after Glass bought them.

Go Cards! Sorry.
 
Dodgers in Turmoil?
Hanley and Paco hurt?
No set lineup?
Lack of timely run support?
Luck runs out?
I'm rooting for Good Fortune!

No.
Hanley with a tightness in hamstring, Paco got called in by mistake (Mattingly wanted Paco but told umpire JP for some reason) so he was sent back to bullpen and did pitch later.
Set lineup - no, Mattingly is giving guys time off.
Timely - always in the bottom of the inning, and AGon delivers again.
Not with this team, luck and good fortune have been smiling down on the Dodgers all season.

Good Fortune it is again, AGon with walk off double to score the winning run.

Dodgers magic number now down to 5, it may be possible for the Dodgers to be the first team to clinch their division, who'd a thunk it on June 22 when Dodgers were in the cellar 12.5 games out???

Go Blue!

Cards, ah... well. More fun to watch than the Cubs, I guess.

Used to have season tickets to the Royals when I lived in the area ('90s). Was also a reporter, so scored lots of press passes. Had a great time at the K, despite their losing ways. Always decent pitching thanks to their farm system, but then they'd never pay these guys and trade them away. Agreed on Glass, should have run him out of town at least a decade ago.
 
While listening to another Dodger game with one of Mattinglys throwaway lineups, Vince Scully mentions that the Pirates had just lost their 11th straight Friday the Thirteenth ballgame.
Hopefully the Dodgers will remain most lucky:)
