2012 MLB Season

You guys are so close, and yet so far away.  Although if they make the right adjustments next year, the Pirates might end up offering worthy competition for the NL Central.

Or maybe not. It's the Buccos after all.

Speaking of the NL Central, glad we (finally) clenched a playoff spot. Now just a win against the Dodgers tonight and tomorrow night and we'll have the NL Central locked up. Looking forward to it.

It will be a real bummer if they don't at least finish over .500.

Yay!! Caught a foul ball for the first time ever!!  Yay!! I'm six years old!!! 

Scott you talking to yourself again?

Make that 3 hits to the first 3 batters he faces plus 1 run.

3 hits were to the 8-9-1 hitters, and then thankfully he gets the 2-3-4 hitters to make outs and maintain a 5 to 3 lead. It is going to be a nail biter though with Valverde in the 9th.

8th Inning and the Tigers loaded the bases with nobody out.  Jackson strikes out and then lo and behold on a 1 and 2 count Andy Dirks hits a single and the Tigers score a run.  Bases are still loaded and one out with "the big fella" at the plate, and Cabrera grounds into a double play.   Heaven forbid the Tigers break open a game.

Top of the 7th.  Tigers lead the White Sox 3 to 2.  Tigers have the bases loaded, one out and Fielder at the plate.  He is facing Veal and apparently lefties are 0 for 19 against him.

Haven't been to a game so late in a season, but I'm going to see the Jays/Red Sox on Sunday next week.  Two teams who've been out of it for a good few months, but at least it will be my first time in the VIP section of the Rogers Centre.

Drew's cousin Jason Donald dove into my bosses' seats tonight.   He sold his seats and wasn't there today, but still got a laugh out of it.

Not to mention I never thought the Sahx would ever unload $262 million in salary at once (I might be off a few million in either direction, since that number is just from memory and not a cited source).

Either way though, it looks like the Dodgers just became huge favorites in the NL on paper at least. We'll see how it works out in the last month or so of the season. And the Sahx are cleaning out the books to start rebuilding.
