Lackey to pitch tonight in NY.
45 experts at ESPN. All 45 wrong.

Rays win, Sox lose first game of double-header. 1/2 game lead going into the night game. I love this race!
The Chokage is near completion.
Rays over Yankees
Orioles over Stank Sox.
Tied at 89-71.
2 games to go.
With nothing to gain since they have clinched best record, would Skankee hatred of Boston motivate them to throw the last two games vs Tampa Bay? I think so.
If both the Rays and Sox win out who makes it? TB won the H2H series 12-6, but I'm not sure if that's how the tiebreaker works.
Also,STL losing to a 105-loss Astro team when they had a chance to tie the Braves.
One game playoff in Tampa on Thursday.
Ties that only affect playoff seeding (Texas-Detroit and Milwaukee-Arizona) are decided by H2H records.
With nothing to play for any longer, would the Angels lay down for the Rangers so that Texas can have home field in the ALDS? Second question, if the Angels were to lay down, how could we tell?
I see...thx.
If I were the Yankees, I would rather the Sox get into the Playoffs than the Rays. The Rays have the better rotation, with Shields, Price, ickson, and the better bullpen as well. The Sox only have Beckett and Lester, and even those two have been horrible as of late.
Yankees shouldn't look at it that way. Yankees can't play either the Red Sox or the Rays in the playoffs until the ALCS. And it's no guarantee any of the three make it out of the first round. And by the ALCS, if the Red Sox find a way to make it to the playoffs and out of the first round, they'll likely have turned things around because they would have beaten either Texas or Detroit, two teams that are playing really well and are confident going into the post season. It would also mean that the Red Sox probably got a little healthier, and even perhaps found a way to re-set their rotation.
A Red Sox team that somehow survived this collapse and made it out of the ALDS is not a team the Yankees want to face. And if they did and the Red Sox found a way to beat the Yankees, all the more embarrassing for the Yankees to lose to a team that was just on the brink of one of the most epic meltdowns for such a talented team in baseball history. And thereby making losing to the Red Sox even more epic for the Yankees.
The Red Sox just won't go away. They had to play a great game tonight.
lol thinking the Brewers can hang with or beat the Phillies 4 times
lol thinking the Rays are on the Phillies level in any phase of the game
I think the Red Sox and Patriots have been hanging out too much.
Longstanding heated rivalry between the Rangers and the Sciosas? No.
Extra game being forced upon their playoff opponent by tanking the last game? No. The Angles are eliminated.
That being said, MultiSciosa sat Jered Weaver tonight. Altho, after ruining his 20 game and ERA champion chances i agree.
Skunkies are hammering Tampa Bay as Texaria has slammed and added another homer.Go figure.
You are the king of the jinx. Baltimore ties Boston with a hit with two outs and two strikes. Tampa scores 7 straight to tie NY and now have a chance to win it in extra innings.![]()
lol lng with the accidental season long prognostication
Wow...I'm a Rays believer and even I had my doubts the Sox would let this slip away from them. Happy to see a team with the second lowest payroll in the ML that lost its bullpen, cleanup hitter, and most accomplished player in franchise history make it to October.
tbh, losing the most accomplished player in franchise history probably helped them
2011 Red Sox Will Challenge 1927 Yankees for le of Greatest Team in Major League History
The Red Sox have won 100 or more games three times in their 110-year existence.
They will make it four in 2011. But this team has the potential to accomplish something even bigger than winning 100 games......
Championships, of course, aren’t won in January. But championship teams are built during the offseason, and Theo Epstein has put together a roster that would make Branch Rickey proud.....
The 2011 Red Sox possess all the pieces to have a season for the ages. If everything falls into place and the breaks go their way, they could do more than set records and become champions. They could do more than take their place on Immortality Peak and end up being mentioned in the same sentence as legendary clubs of the past: the 1929 A’s, the epic Yankees teams of the ‘30s, the 1970 Orioles, the 1976 Reds.
The 2011 Red Sox could accomplish a feat that has never been done. They could unseat the 1927 Yankees as the greatest major league team of all time.
That would be something to celebrate.....
