Indians win 8-2. Indians could pick up 1.5 games today depending what they do in the 2nd half of the double-header.

OH man cant believe the state of the As this is awesome, 2 wild cards might be in play guys.

[RealAccountant]

Sale through 8, 1 inning away from making the As lead on the wildcard down to 4.5 over Jays (and just 4 losses)

All I can say is wow.. wonder whose heads will roll if the A's miss the playoffs, and two of the group of Seattle/KC/Detroit/Toronto and maybe Cleveland make it. Worse for Oakland, they have Seattle next.. the A's could be out of the postseason mix by the end of this weekend!

Good and Bed

 

But at the end of the day, every decision matters

[RealAccountant]

Goddamit, WHitesox pull Sale and bring in their closer

 

leadoff runner on, argh,

[jaysfan2014]

White Sox win! A's lead now down to a single game, and now Toronto only trails by 4.5.. on the 1st wild card. What a collapse in Oakland.. who do you think gets fired after this debacle?

Probably no one. Beane will be GM there as long as he wants.

[glory]

Cleveland leading 1-0 in the bottom of the 8th inning after winning the 1st game. They'll be tied with the Jays if their lead holds up. Ugh.

 

At least the A's are freefalling. We'll need a few teams to crumble.

[G-Snarls]

Sox win! Sox win! Sox win!

 

 

1. Oakland can't score

 

2. Chris Sale is f***ing awesome

Indians staying in the race is good for the jays so that they play the tigers strong this weekend

[G-Snarls]

It is pretty massive that Oakland is bringing the other WC spot back in to play. That must significantly increase the chances for teams on the outside looking in like Cleveland and Toronto

[G-Snarls]

YES broadcasters saying Yunel had trade rumour in July and it was severely affecting him??

 

#MentalMidget

[G-Snarls]

I type this as he hits a 3 run HR

 

LOL

 

Nice piece of hitting Yunel

 

3-0 Tampa

Man, if Oakland winds up slipping and misses out on the playoffs that's going to be one epic choke. It'll make those trades look worse. It's going to be an interesting 3 weeks to say the least. 3.5 games out right now which isn't horrible since both slots might be open. It would be nice if the Jays played a few more of the teams to leapfrog. Seattle will be a must win series. Would be nice if we had to face Oakland, Detroit, try to pick up ground directly on them that way.

I know

 

It REALLY sucks that we play Baltimore, who we can't possibly catch, 6 times

Even a 6 game sweep would put the Jays back 4 games. Either they have to tank royally and the Jays win 17 in a row it's not going to happen. Would be really nice. It blows the Jays have some decent teams (Seattle, Baltimore, Yankees aren't going to just roll over) to fight it out for the WC yet other than Seattle (Yankees you could lump in there since we'd want distance between them and if nothing beat them out for 2nd in the division) it's no one in front of the Jays. It's not even controlling your own destiny. Blah. I'd even take an elimination in the WC just to end the drought and give everyone a shot in the arm to come into next season with. "Hey, we made it and just missed it while being in first for awhile, so let's attack from day one!" Kind of thing.

[RealAccountant]

Yankees and Indians fans are saying the same general thing about the Jays.

 

Were only 3 losses back moogy

[JaysFan4Ever]

I checked ESPN average winning % of teams the Jays face is .546 Os .503, Detroit .476, Cleveland .480, As .471, so of course the Jays have the worst luck with the teams they have left to play percentage wise. But if they manage to pull it off it would be something.

[jaysfan2014]

Yanks are getting no-hit by Alex Cobb through 6.

Don't jinx it! But that's a good thing It's always a good day when the Yankees lose.

Escobar with his second bomb. Damn he's a one man wrecking crew tonight.

We have about a 6% chance. THAT MEANS WE HAVE A CHANCE.

It's a weak pulse but it's a pulse! I went out for a walk last week and the weather said 5% chance of rain. So, I went. Of course I was caught in a downpour so if I can get rained on with a 5% chance that 6% means we're in! haha

[shortstop]

way A's are going down, anything can happen...would love to see the royals/jays in the W/C game...though personally, making and losing a W/C game doesn't count in making the playoffs...

It's been a strange few weeks. If the As can fall like that, like you said, anything could happen. It's going to be fun.

What sucks is that after the all star break we supposedly had the EASIEST schedule. Well, we played all the crappy teams early and didn't do very well. The second half of the season was back loaded with these division games against better opponents. We had a better chance to make a charge in early August.

 

Oh well, I'm just excited that they're doing something exciting now. Keep it up.

[jaysfan2014]

Liam Hendriks is garbage. Bases loaded and he's out with the Royals down 3-2.

[shortstop]

our boy Hendriks in a jame...3-2 red sox, bases loaded, 1 out, top of 3rd

[shortstop]

nix that, Hendriks out, bullpen arm in
