First time a no-hitter has ended with a wild pitch.

Congratulations to Henderson Alvarez!

If this Yankees/Astros game goes much longer, Mariano Rivera may actually get his wish and get to play CF!!!

One game playoff!!!

Indians get 1st wildcard.
Rangers and Rays tie for the other....see you tomorrow!!!

Could it get any more exciting in the American League?

Congratulations, Rangers.

Actually, yes. If Cleveland had lost yesterday, there would have been a 3-way tie for 2 spots, played out as follows:
-Rays v. Indians, winner is in/loser goes to Texas
-loser v. Rangers, winner is in/loser goes home
-the two winners from above play each other in the 1-game 1st round.

That WOULD spice things up a bit, eh?

I've got to say, now that my Yankees are out, I really wouldn't mind seeing an Oakland/Dodgers world series. Two west coast teams--GOD, how the networks would hate that.

Ugh. Here's hoping BOTH the A's & Dodgers get knocked out in the first round.

GO TIGERS!!!

HOPING for the Dodgers & Athletics,
EXPECTING it to be the Cardinals & Red Sox.

Hoping for Rays vs. Pirates in the WS.


Go small market!!!

Brewers vs. Royals would've been great. Two small market teams NOT in the eastern time zone.
But I AM happy for the Pirates and hope they do well.

Cubs dismiss Sveum after two seasons

CHICAGO -- When Dale Sveum was named the Cubs' 52nd manager in November 2011, Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, and general manager Jed Hoyer said they were impressed by how prepared he was.

"I think the passion he has for the game is so obvious -- and the knowledge he has," Hoyer said at that time. "It wasn't that he prepared for the interview; he prepared for this [job]. This is what he had done his whole life."

Now, Sveum will have to find a new team as the Cubs dismissed him on Monday morning.

Red Sox and I don't care who they play!!!

networks probably want Sox - Dodgers

Sox - Braves would have some historic meaning , being the Braves were once from Boston

Oakland and STL are the least flawed teams.

I will go with that.

How about 2 small market teams . Pirates and A's, or Tampa!!!....i'd watch

Garry:
When you come to Milwaukee next year to see the Yankees play, will you even recognize them?

-Pettitte gone
-Rivera gone
-Cano could be gone
-Girardi likely gone
-Jeter likely on DL

"Ned's done a terrific job and I definitely want him back," Moore said.
