[214] Well (hopefully) the WC will be Oakland OR Baltimore. The O’s/A’s playoff game will be in Oakland.

I still think Home Court is an advantage, but my whole thing is to just Win the Division. After that, I’m not sure if what happens after that is a disadvantage one way oor the other.

Flying to CA is always a bitch, but we will be well rested, while the A’s will not.

[213] Problem is with the best record, you have to play the first round against the winner of the WC play-in game beginning at their stadium. Do we want the Yankees to fly to Oakland to start the PS? I think the Yankees are better off playing Detroit in the first round even with Verlander starting game 1 and 5. The Yankees hit 4 HRs and had nearly a .300 average against him this year.

[212] It’s simple. TB has to Sweep 3 (they have already won the first) and Oakland has to lose 3 in order for TB to make the PS, or more importantly, motivated to beat Baltimore.

Now, if Oakland Loses tonight, then TB still has a mathimatical shot, and should come out tomorrow guns blazing against Baltimore.

Now if instead, Oakland Wins tonight, then TB is done. They may not lay down for Baltimore, but let’s face it, they will be mucho deflated.

For me, Winning the Division is 100 times more important the beating Texas for Home Field.

THE PERFECT STORM.
Oakland Loses tonight.

TB beats Baltimore tomorrow.
We beat the Sox tomorrow and CLINCH the Division.
Oakland beats Texas tomorrow.

Now at this point, with 1 game to play, we have Home field over Texas. (If we tie Texas, we win Home field, as we won the season series with them).

So, If we then Win our last game, or Texas loses their last game,
we keep Home field.

[211] Too much free jazz and ‘herbal diet” in my youth, boulders rolling round brain with this complex end of season..I think finishing the season with the best record is the most impressive achievement.

Also, Cano could get 50 doubles and 30 taters, how coolw ould that be!

[210] I do. But OYF wants Oakland to lose so the Rays still have a shot at the second wild card spot tomorrow, so they’ll go all-out to beat the Orioles…

Lester could pitch a great game. Up to Phelps to have another solid start.

[138] Hee Haw showcased some great talent, dude. I never understood why my Dad (who was a Big Band fan), watched it, but in hindsight I’m glad he did.
