The Showalter juggernaut crushes the Halos like Panzers thru Poland, winning 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th :woot:

LOL!

Angels are done. :victory: :mrgreen:

Well that winning streak didn't last long: Dodgers get shut out by the Padres, 5-0.

Next up: the Nationals.

Time to put up or shut up for the Sox, 4 games in the Bronx against the Evil Empire, :usuck: really need at least victories against them. Another name added to the DL list today, Okijima, think they may need to activate the pitching coach to have enough arms. :bleh:

Yikes, Adam Dunn's hit TWO three-run homers off Clayton Kershaw. :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Dodgers trail the Nationals 6-3. :shakehead:

EDIT: Dodgers lose, 6-3.

Think the cry around MLB soon will be "break up the O's" as they win again over the 1st place White Sox 2-1. :victory:
The other Sox though won tonight in the Bronx against the Yanks :usuck: 6-3, Rays also lost again, Sox are 4 1/2 behind them and 5 out from the Evil Empire, :usuck: sigh, but Lackey goes tomorrow. :sweat:

Like this was hard to predict, Lackey gets shelled allowing 5 runs in 6 innings, actually could have been worse than that :sweat: ...Sox end up on the short end of the stick, losing 5-2, deficit is back at 6 games, Beckett and Lester though are starting the next 2, need 'em both. :fingerscrossed:

Jays and Rays play football instead of baseball, with the Jays winning, 17-11. :shocked:

And they had 8 HRS, they're going on a pace to come close to setting the all time record which is 264 for a season :sweat: ...few ERAs went the wrong way that game. :rofl:

Dodgers win in 10 over the Nats, 3-2.

What a difference a day makes, Jays complete the sweep by winning...1-0. :sweat: Morrow of the Jays had a no-no for 8 2/3 before he allowed his only hit, also K'd 17. :applaud:

WOW.

Rays doing the hot/cold/Jekyll/Hyde thing this season. :sweat:

Yeah, they sure are, luckily their slump has at least given the Sox a chance for the wild card, :fingerscrossed: first could be a stretch as it looked like the Yanks :usuck: hired Beckett as their batting practice pitcher as they had their way against him as they prevailed 7-2. :shamefulcry: Bullpen shut them down but no clutch hits again for them, too reliant on the long ball as of late. :grumble: One more in the Bronx, then on to Toronto who have been playing well this year, only 3 behind the Sox now. :sweat:

Lilly wins again for the Dodgers despite giving up two home runs to the Nationals :sweat: , 8-3.

Just wanted to mention that the Dodgers released Garrett Anderson yesterday. Even though he played for the Angels, I always admired him. He was a true professional. Thought he would be a good addition for the Dodgers but he just never could get his hitting untracked.

Aww. :(

Shoulda sent Broxton packing.

Afternoon affair in the Bronx as the Sox nip the Yanks :usuck: 2-1. Stong outing for Lester who notched his 13th win of the year, :victory: they stole 6 bases in the effort, 4 by Ellsbury who despite that didn't score a run. :sweat: Deficit is 4 behind the Rays for the wild card and 6 behind the Bombers :usuck: for first.

With the Rays falling apart, more people are hopeful now. :sweat:

Maybe the injury bug is starting to hurt them, 1B Pena and SP Nieman were just put on the DL. :sweat:

O's keep rolling along, beat the Chisox again 3-2 in 10 innings. In two games against the White Sox, Koji Uehara has pitched 3 innings, given up just one hit and struck out 3. I wonder if Ozzie is going to complain about a bias favoring Asians. :hehe:
