    True.

    Let's hope both the Yanks and Indians can hold their leads, and if they can, then we'll see what happens tomorrow.

    Yea that's probably true. If only they had swept Seattle like they should have. They'd still have a real shot.

    yep, the magic # would have been 3. theres so many games we could if we just got some offense.

  12. Greg CohenSeptember 23, 2008 at 8:41 PM

    What's even more frustrating is seeing how well they've played lately. They could have played like this all year, even with the injuries.

    They're playing it safe because of the liner that was hit off his elbow.

    If they can get those two, there is no reason why they shouldn't. Well, besides major injuries, but you never know with that kind of stuff.
