They were down 3-0 through 4 innings when they suddenly remembered how their bats work and they fought their way to a 3-3 tie in the 8th. Chapman came in in the 9th and held the Tigers off to give the Red Sox hitters a chance in the bottom of the inning and they did not disappoint.
With 1 out, Gonzalez came up and hit a nice single. Then Rafaela came up and hit the second pitch he saw for a triple, driving in Gonzalez for the 4-3 win.
It was a great game to watch.
As for today, they lost 2-1 and Tigers secured themselves a playoff spot.
They have one game left against the Tigers and it would be nice to see them win that game. Even if they lose, it doesn't really matter because on September 30th, the Red Sox will start the wild card series.
I'm not sure yet who their opponent will be because the AL standings right now are a mess. No one has a clear handle on the ALEast and there are more than a few teams vying for a wild card slot. Once the divisions shake out, we'll know who the final wild card team is.
Gotta be honest with you, this is the first season in a long time that has gone this far without a clear set of division / wild card winners. It's kind of a mess right now...
The Very Stable Genius has just ordered the military into Portland Oregone and authorized them to use "full force if necessary" because...
...I guess he doesn't like Portland or something.
If this dingbat keeps going the way he's going, there is going to be a civil war. I just hope it's short and none of my family or friends gets wrapped up in it.
Here are some links:
- He's kind of a drama queen.
- I'm not sure what this change means but if it turns out we no longer get cool space pictures, I'm gonna be pissed.
- This is off to a good start...
