Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

Dodgers defeat the Rockies, 3-1.

Time for the Sox to play the part of the spoiler this weekend, hard to believe what Papplebon's 8th blown save cost them. :usuck: If anyone is in the Tampa area tomorrow night, head over to watch the Rays play for free, :woot: team is giving away up to 20,000 free tickets for the game just to fill the place up, hard to believe the horrible attendance they have for such a good club.

Dodgers defeat the Rockies, 9-7.

As usual, Broxton comes in and gives up a couple of hits and a run. :shakehead:

Padres lose and the Giants win... Padres almost done for the season. :shakehead:

The Tenth Inning tonight.... Ichiro! :victory: :woot:

Dodgers defeat the Rockies, 7-6, and sweep the three-game series.

If they can't fill up the place with free tickets that would be really pathetic. :beaten: I think it was Evan Longoria that complained about fan attendance. Too bad we don't get deals like that here. We don't even get those $1 Hot dog nights that are popular in other cities.

^ I wonder if the Marlins are having the same problem, since they're not even a contender...

I'd say they are, when I see the highlights that stadium seems to be empty. Florida just doesn't seem like a big sports state. The Jaguars seem to have trouble filling their stadium. When the Celts go play the Heat, I don't see sellouts there either.

Yes, Marlins draw even worse then the Rays but somehow pulled a fast one on Dade County to pony up the $$$ for a new stadium, big stink about it down there. :twisted: As JS said, not a big state for sports fans except for the fair weather variety. :bleh: Far as the Rays game tonight, 20,000 fans showed up for the free tickets, last night's playoff clinching game though only drew 17,000+. :usuck:

^ Yet sports expansion has put teams in Florida... :crazy:

I guess the Dolphins are doing okay, huh?

Giants win again and the Padres lose again... Padres are done. :shakehead:

^^ Padres have to sweep just to force a tie...if they somehow do it and the Braves lose 2 out of 3, they'll be 2 days of sudden death games, would like to see it. :twisted: Meanwhile in the AL East, Rays and Yanks remain tied, both are limping to the finish, :bleh: if they finish tied Rays get the division title based on head to head record.

^ Go Rays! :victory:

Sox have a chance to play spoiler, though it matters very little.

Way the Rays are ending up they better sweep them, Rays lost to the Royals 7-0. :beaten: Their final 3 series have been against the M's, O's and Royals and have ended up going 3-5 so far against them. :doh:

Padres still in the playoff hunt: They beat the Giants 6-4 and the Braves lose, 11-5.

Can they win the next two and force a playoff? :fingerscrossed:

Padres defeat the Giants again, 4-2. :victory: :applaud: :woot:

One more win and the Padres will force a playoff with the Giants. :fingerscrossed:

Padres can't complete the sweep of the Giants and the Braves win, so the Padres get to watch the playoffs from home. :(

Tampa Ray wins the east as the Sox managed to beat NY. Going to be an interesting off season for the Sox. Some players may be gone, like Varitek. They have to decide what to do with Papelbon.
