The first session of my New Applicants' class is tonight. I will be pounding Tums, while asking my students for updates of the Sox and the Rays during our breaks.
To be honest, the best I can hope for right now is a one-game playoff tomorrow. I just don't feel good enough about this team to think that they'll win AND the Rays will lose. Fingers crossed, but it just doesn't seem like it's been that kind of September.

What an end to the regular season! Three of the four games involving the potential wild-card teams were classics. It was a great day to be a baseball fan. |

Disagree......there is so much more baseball yet to play.....
Agreed. The Nats finished the season strong! Many of us in the Nation's Capital are actually optimisitic about the Team's future and look forward to having a very competitive young team next year and in the year's to come! Heck, maybe next yr we'll get 2M fans again......been a while.

Both my Cardinals and Tigers made it and I did not expect the Cardinals to make it at all. So I am happy that I can watch with some interest in both leagues.
Peace

Some that 'informed' him on other sites apparently have moved into the 'esttemed' category.

Who's This Matt Kemp Guy Anyway ???
Well, one consolation, at least Carl Yastrzemski is still the last player to achieve the Triple Crown (1967, .326 batting average, 44 home runs (tied with Harmon Killebrew), 121 RBIs).
After the Moneyball book, and movie, is the Triple Crown still as important as it used to be?

I don't know about MVP, but the MVE (Most Valuable Executive) is the guy in the White Sox organization who decided to let Ozzie go. Maybe they can bring back Al Lopez.

Thank you for your concern, but I'm actually fine.
I'm honestly not as broken up as you might think. It's been pretty obvious for 5 or 6 weeks that the Sox weren't good enough to do much even if they did make the playoffs. I'm disappointed, obviously, b/c they seemed to be so good for most of the summer. But once injuries kicked in, there was no help for the pitching; and then it seems like everything else fell apart too. We could've gotten nice "Wild Card" t-shirts and then gotten swept by Texas. Oh well.

I must say you're weathering this historic collapse as if it were just the Mariners missing the playoffs again, instead of the team that led the division much of the year and had a 9 game lead in the wild-card going into September!
As for being swept in the playoffs: I remember the last time they made the playoffs as the wild-card team. It's like lotto: you can't win if you don't play...
