Strider Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Has Baltimore been eliminated yet or is there still hope? I just hope nobody needs the Angels to sweep a team to help their cause. Relying on the Angels to do anything will give you grey hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope nobody needs the Angels to sweep a team to help their cause. Relying on the Angels to do anything will give you grey hair. We are officially finished. Who saw this coming? A tank job of epic proportions? With a team with this kind of talent. Still, I believe the future is bright. And I wonder if Dylan Bundy will be a part of it?

How do you think I feel about the supposedly loaded Angels and their utter failure to even play .500 ball most of the season? Manager and GM are both on the hot seat...at least, they should be.

They competed which makes it more painfull. You are right there and then for some unknown reason they forget how to take pitches. Forget how to hit. Have a 52 HR guy that swings at shit in the dirt. Machado goes down. I feel better days are ahead for sure. If they don't get stupid and and let their fanbase down in the office. Very hard to trust the front office after the last 30 years of being so damn bad until last year. Your Angels will be a handfull next year. They have played very well of late. I do not know the reason for their bad beginning? Nor do I know why Texas has basically fallen apart. Or how Pittsburgh has gotten this far with a bunch of guys that look like they should be little leaguers. I will cheer for Detroit in the AL and the Dodgers in the NL and for either of them to win it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have a chance if you're in the post season..... sneak in or take the division, you have to be in it, to win it. Rangers beat the Angels in the rain, and Tampa is down 7-1 in the 6th.

kingzoso Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have only posted my opinions in this topic twice (or thrice). No matter what your favorite baseball teams may be, the Saint Louis Cardinals are THE team to beat and there are very few that can compete with, and eliminate them from their Quest for another World Series Championship. THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS WILL BE THE NEXT WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Here is how the AL Wild Card plays out if the Rangers win today (2pm start) : If fhe Rangers win on Sunday, here are their playoff scenarios: • If Cleveland and Tampa Bay both win: Cleveland would be the top wild card seed. The Rangers and Tampa Bay would play a tiebreaker game Monday in Arlington because the Rangers won the season series over the Rays, 4-3. The winner of the Rangers’ game with Tampa Bay would advance to play at Cleveland on Wednesday. • If Cleveland wins and Tampa Bay loses: The Rangers would be the No. 2 wild card and would play at Cleveland on Wednesday. • If Cleveland loses and Tampa Bay wins: A three-way tie would exist for the two wild card spots. Major League Baseball on Friday released the team designations in the event of a three-way tie for the two AL wild card spots. Cleveland, by virtue of the best winning percentage against Tampa Bay and the Rangers, would earn the top designation and would host the first play-in game on Monday. Tampa Bay, which has the second-best winning percentage against the other two teams in the potential tie, selected the “B” designation, which gives it the opportunity to play twice to win one game to reach the wild card game. It means the Rays would travel to Cleveland for a Monday play-in game. The winner would be one of the wild card teams, but is not automatically assured of home field for the wild card game. The loser would then travel to Arlington to face the Rangers on Tuesday. Once the two wild-card teams are settled, the two-team tiebreakers, which start with head-to-head record against the other team, would kick in. The Rangers own the tiebreaker against Tampa Bay, so if Tampa Bay wins Monday and the Rangers beat Cleveland Tuesday, the Rangers would host the wild card game Wednesday. Cleveland owns the tiebreaker with the Rangers and would host the Rangers Wednesday if the Indians win the Monday game with Tampa Bay. http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/2013/09/updated-texas-rangers-playoff-scenarios-now-that-cleveland-has-won.html/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 It's the last day of the regular season & we have a tie for the 2nd wild card spot between Tampa & Texas and we could end up with a 3 way tie overall if the Indians lose & Tampa and Texas win. Good stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong-Man Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have only posted my opinions in this topic twice (or thrice). No matter what your favorite baseball teams may be, the Saint Louis Cardinals are THE team to beat and there are very few that can compete with, and eliminate them from their Quest for another World Series Championship. THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS WILL BE THE NEXT WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!! Well I'm not sure about that, but I've learned over the years to never count your organization out. They have grudgingly earned my total respect. As a Tiger fan, I put the 1968 World Series in my top 3. Gibson, McClain, Kaline, Brock....down 3-1 and coming back, fatman Lolich's 3 wins...Willie Horton throwing Brock out at the plate....the switch of Mickey Stanley to shortstop....the last true World Series between pennant winners before division play and expansion....the last season of the raised Pitcher's mound....the last 30 game winner...Gibson's e.r.a and 18 strikeouts in game one....only to be beaten in the end in game 7 by Northrup's triple on a Curt Flood misplay, causing a party the Motor City has never seen before or since. You may disagree, but you gotta admit it's a hell of a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Well, it's official the Cleveland Indians are in the postseason. Now I believe we're waiting to see what happens if Texas beats the Angels & possibly tie Tampa for that second wild card, although I believe the Rangers have the tiebreaker in head to head matchups, correct me if I'm wrong. Edit: I went back and read zepscoda's post above, apparently if the Rays and Rangers end up tied, they play a one game playoff on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
