i just realize that the greatest thing that could happen to baseball is KC and LAA win their divisions, and pitching-heavy and deadline dealers OAK and DET have to play a one-game wild card to get in.  if that scenario plays out, which pitcher does each team pick?

Scherzer v Lester, assuming the game is in Oakland.

I thought of this earlier. I'd throw up.

I'd throw price out there, but it'd be Scherzer v Lester like smacks said.

With best record,  the chances of every other team passing on them so the Halo's can make a claim are between zero and none.

Randy Wolf,  Wade LeBlanc or Chris Volstad to the rescue?  SMH

This actually made me feel better about Wade LeBlanc being called up...

Price threw a complete game one-hitter, tigers still lose. Holy hell, I sort of hate this tigers team.

can we talk about seattle's absurd +45 run differential since the trade deadline? Ajax hasn't done anything for them, but they are scoring runs like crazy and pitching incredible.  this is the kind of effect experts said cano could have... his 1.011 OPS in august surely has a lot to do with their success.

What are the chances the new commish makes both leagues play by the same rules?  I know this is coming off an O's sweep by the lowly Cubbies, but an AL team playing without a DH has to affect them much more than an NL team playing with a DH.

It was funny hearing Tony Larussa...he can't stand the DH....what he said essentially was "fair weather baseball fans love the DH but diehards love it old school as it should be..."

He then went on to say there was no way to resolve it and the compromise of having one league with/one league without was the best that could be done..

Joe Torre was sitting right next to him and he didn't chime in  or disagree...

Its weird but I think its always going to be that way..
