Philly leads 1 zip in the 4th

Check that, Braves up 2-1 thanks to a Brian McCann homer.

Seattle up 5-1 (3 in the top of the 4th) in the Bronx, also in the 4th.

...so you can pretty much mark this one down as a Mariner win.

I never ever, ever, ever would have thought that I would root for the Braves in September...

5-1 Braves is your final as Phils manage just 4 hits.

Final from the Bronx: Ms 7 - Ys 1
WC lead back down to 1 game.

Geez if those fuckin Mariners could have won just occasionally over the last week and a half.

does the losing team's manager get automatically fired? that would make it a much more interesting race.

Roger sucked and left the stadium for an MRI on his elbow. Torre says he'll miss at least next start and will presumably slot in Mussina.

Ooops. Dropped $25 million.

"Doctor, the MRI diagnosis readout just says dross. Is this right?"

Brewers, Cubs & Cards all lose -- doesn't look like anyone wants that division.

Brews pen blows another one after a decent start from Sheets.
Cards get smacked by Pitt and are now not only without Encarnacion for the season but also Rolen who needs shoulder surgery.



In Boston, Dice-K had a 10-1 lead and gave it all back. Now 13-10 Boston in the 8th.

Oakland, who I was privately rooting for to sneak into the wild card race against all odds, is getting a serious California smackdown from the Angels. It's 9-0.

Oops, 9-1 as I type as Shannon Stewart goes deep! Go, Oakland!

Boston hung on; AL East lead back to 7.

Cleveland beat the Twins & Santana; extend their lead to 6 in the Central.
