Phillies lost So there's a 3 way tie at .457 record, which represents spots 9-11 in reverse standings (Blue Jays, Brewers and Mets) So we will get 9th overall pick due to previous season's records (Mets and Brewers were both better than us in 2012)

Possible, with team expecting him to turn it down I suppose.

More stuff: Blue Jays Likely To Keep Lind, DeRosa, Janssen by Zach Links, Sep 29 at 12:06 PM CST Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos told reporters that there's a "good chance" they'll exercise Adam Lind's option for 2014, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet (on Twitter). Veteran Mark DeRosa is also in good position with his option and Casey Janssen is a lock to have his club option triggered.

Damn I wish I had MLB Network on satellite

Yes!!!

I have to say - AA nabbing Ruiz on a nice free agent contract before the end of October would go a long way to satisfying me that he understands the problems with this team and that he has the support/money to give us a shot next year.

I like this line: - Ruiz says he's happy in Philadelphia, but added that he plans to test the market if a deal isn't done before the World Series - Git R Done, AA. We need. Outbid Amaro Jr. just this once. And do it swiftly. Like a ninja. Before people stop believing that you are one.

The haul they could get for Lee and Hamels would be impressive, despite the heavy contracts

All your pitcher are belong to us

That's on a 162M payroll for the Phillies It's time (past time) for the complete tear down

MLBTR: The Phillies' pitching staff, once one of the game's best, may require an overhaul, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer writes. The club has used ten starters this season, which is the major league average, according to Gelb. However, stats such as the team's 4.29 ERA, good for second-to-last in the NL, indicate an inability to cope with even "an average amount of uncertainty" in the rotation. "Long guys, swing men, depth in the bullpen and depth in the triple-A level are a need," manager Ryne Sandberg commented. "That is very evident right now." More Sunday morning Phillies links: While Gelb highlights uncertainty in the rotation as a prime contributor to the Phillies' disappointing 2013 campaign, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. says the club plans to tender Kyle Kendrick a contract in the offseason, meaning that four of the team's five rotation slots may already be filled. If Kendrick returns to the rotation, he and Cuban import Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez would likely slide in behind Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels. "I don't know why people are asking about that," Amaro said of speculation on whether Kendrick will be tendered a contract, according to an article by Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. "We will." There appears to be mutual interest in catcher Carlos Ruiz returning to the club next year, according to Zolecki's piece. "I think mutually we would like to continue the relationship," Amaro said. "At some point we'll get together, negotiate, and see where it goes." Ruiz says he's happy in Philadelphia, but added that he plans to test the market if a deal isn't done before the World Series.

And never seems to get hurt. Saw on Twitter he's missed like 26 games in 5 years or something.

#ThatsSoBlueJays

Is he likely to start in Vancouver next year? Or since he's already 20 would they want to see is he can handle low A Lansing??

Best quote: Alomar, who was at every game except for Saturday’s (he was at UFC 165 at the Air Canada Centre), presented signed Hall of Fame bats to the winning team.

Philadelphia also .450 so this may be off by a spot Rockies and Phillies both playing tonight. Would love them to both win.

You do have that post count...

MLB.com: The Rays traveled to Toronto riding high after a four-game sweep of the Orioles at Tropicana Field followed by a three-game sweep of the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. "I'm just surprised," Maddon said. "I'm never disappointed in our guys. More surprised based on how well we've been doing. Happ pitched well, and we've faced two good pitchers the past two days. Dickey's not bad, he won the Cy Young last year. And Happ really threw the ball well today. So from that respect, we have faced good pitching. You have to give them credit for that, too. But I'm never disappointed in our guys." Maddon put Saturday's loss into perspective. "Listen, we've just come off this wonderful run and all of a sudden we've had two very difficult games," Maddon said. "I think a lot of it's been based on their pitching. We just have not been able to break through on their pitching." Maddon is never one to hype any single game on the Rays' schedule. Sunday's 162nd game of the season is different, though, as Maddon acknowledged the obvious. "Tomorrow's a relatively big game, yeah," said Maddon with a smile.

Three way tie! Want to watch all these games tomorrow It's like having two wild card days

Yep. This thread has proceeded PRECISELY how I expected it would.
