They should really go for the #2 seed...I'm sure upper management will insist.

Zona clinched....Rangers are 3 out by Oakland from clinching....crazy

And the Phillies lose again 7 in a row.

Wouldnt be surprised to see them lose in the NLDS.

Cards win in 9th, Braves can only muster one run off of Chien-Ming Wang. Wild Card lead back down to 2. Magic number stays at 3.

Who the hell knows this team in one of those funks at the plate, fielding, pitching, coaching, selling hotdogs, selling beer, driving a car you name it and the Phillies suck at it right now.

Joey Votto leaves 2nd early and pitcher steps off to toss to 3rd and Votto just stops at SS, never moves a foot and allows the pitcher to tag him with zero effort of making the pitcher make a throw or a baseball play. He's a tremendous player but one of the worst base running players I've seen.

Braves just loaded the bases with nobody out and the top of the order up. Didn't score.

The Phillies offense has awakened. Up 9-0 after 4.

Braves are done. They need 3 more losses from St Louis to back into the playoffs

This is getting silly.

I still say Brian McCann will seal the deal for the wildcard.

They are so bad right now. He'll probably sit tomorrow against Lee.

Red Sox down again to Yanks.

Wild Card races getting very very interesting, TB could be tied and StL is one back.

Was at Game 1 of the Yanks-BoSox double header today. Sox looked very tight, as did their fans in attendance. Just a complete choke job, and you can just see it in their players' demeanor (except Ellsbury, guy is a stud!) ...

Thank goodness for 14th inning home runs. Sox keep one game up with three to play in Baltimore. Just a disgusting past month and a half (from a Red Sox fan perspective) though. I FULLY expect a 3-0 bounce in the ALDS if they make it that far.

I feel like the Yankees won't bring their "A" game on purpose vs the Rays, so Boston might need to sweep to make the playoffs.
