Getting down to business now, the cream has risen.
Boston and Detroit have their divisions sewn up but Texas and Oakland are in a right battle but both should make the post season, albeit a one gamer against quite likely any one of three from the east, Yankees, Tampa or Baltimore..........Baltimore looked good pre break, laboured since and Davis lost his edge a little.
Gonna say Oakland at home to Tampa in the one gamer.

Its all done and dusted in the National League by the looks of it, just down to the Central division to see who goes into the one game play off.
I reckon it will end up being my Reds travelling to Pittsburg for that single play off.

Overall im gonna say the Dodgers take it, been outstanding since back in June, Puig is a game changer.

just finished watching mariners at Royals, it looked over for Royals until the 7th when they took lead only to give up a homer in the ninth to tie.Royals win in 13. but to be honest both teams suck. Reds got to win tonite, and brewers did you a favour last night if cards win tonight they will be level on games won they face the pirates on Friday that should be a good game to watch.the way things look at the moment things are pointing to a Red Sox v Dodgers w/s I fancied Detroit myself to get to w/s but after last night against Red Sox well that went out the window

Yeah Royals won't make it.
Red Sox motoring last night, 8 home runs or something crazy.
We have to win tonight to keep our automatic hopes alive, i just cant figure out if its good that the other two play each other in a series, one of them will win at least two so unless we sweep someone we wont close the gap

Good win for Reds last night it still close between the three teams, you have only to beat the dodgers and cards beat pirates that would put the cat among the pigeons. Need the A's to beat Astros to put pressure on Rangers. have seen the film 45 got a copy on dvd
will watch it in a couple of days on my own so the missus won't be asking questions all the way through.

Shame we face the dodgers

45 Heard it is a good movie, not seen it yet either, is that the Jackie Robinson story or something?

yep Jackie Robinson, Harrison Ford plays Branch Rickey the guy who signs him the guy had an eye for money. did you get any tickets for Kansas uni games

hey who are the dodgers when Reds are at home great win just need a walk off tonight they can do it, cards beat the pirates it's close a the top. A's back on top think they will go on and win the division now

Great win last night, if we can get another now it would be awesome, bottom of the ninth as i type.
Just wish we had more hitting power.

Hahaha Billy Hamilton comes on as a runner agian and gets the run.

The guy is phenomenal, steals bases for fun, not sure he has ever had an at bat yet but has 3 runs.

Stole 145 last year or something crazy.

awesome another great win cards game later will be interesting

Cards easy win over pirates, pirates seem to be falling apart Reds could end up above them tonight if you beat the Dodgers then you never now the division play-offs

they swept the pirates, quite a feat.............we are now in with a good shout of the division, a good win tonight will set us up nicely for the last few weeks.
Even if we can just secure home field for the one game play off i wouldn't be too disappointed.

unreal, do all the hardwork to get in position and then Dusty starts being smart with the expanded roster and we lose 2 in a row to the cubs?!?!?

yea, could,nt believe they lost to cubs winning 3-0 at moment though Rangers need to do you a favour tonight

the wild card race is hot up in the AL, A's are looking good can't believe royals are in with a chance of the wild card just goes to show if you can put a good run in end of September who knows

its still pretty close in Reds division, Braves have slipped abit but not enough to lose the div, Red Sox looking mighty strong. did you get any tickets for the royals yet?

Went a few months back when they were dreadful lol.

Reds just not fluent at all, nationals actually on a hell of a run but too little too late i hope, but closed the gap a little.

Gonna be an interesting finish, we play the pirates six times, could give the nationals a sniff if one of us can win say five of those six!?!?

well the WC is certainly getting a bit interesting good win last night over the pirates, Nats are motoring a bit late to do any harm another win to night and the Reds will take the initative form coming back just at the right time

Would take a real pounding by us over the pirates for the nationals to catch up.........its all to play for but i would just take home field for the one game play off now.

who do you play in the wc game?

Unless st pooey collapse its gonna be the pirates in the one game wild card, just a case of who will get homefield advantage for that game.

Hey Mets must be on drugs to beat the Reds twice not that it will harm Reds anyway or will it upset the home field advantage? pirates on Friday will that decide home field

Yep, the pirates series will decide where we play them in the play off game.
Not to sure its that big an advantage to be honest.....would be nice but more important now to get the right pitcher set for that game, which will surely be matt latos.
Not much in it between us both either, could go either way.

The pirates haven't done well in the last ten only won 4
if you beat them tonight I think you will beat them in WC
they seem to be in a bit of a slump at the moment. I think you could surprise cards and momentum will carry you on
