Great big fat win for the Yanks today. After Oakland scored 4 in the top of the 13th the Yankees came back and scored 4 in the bottom half of the inning. They scored the winning run in the 14th.

Meanwhile, Baltimore won their 16th straight extra-inning game today.

I was, and still am, rooting for the Pirates to finish above .500 for the first time in 20 years. A few weeks ago it looked like a forgone conclusion that they would finish over. But, now they must go 8-3 in their last 11 games to do so.

Neither team is giving in! This could come down to the last day!

The Yankees have a 1 1/2 game lead in the AL East with 7 days remaining in the season and are only one game behind Texas for the best record in the American League. But, so many teams are bunched up and close this is what can still happen to them.

- AL East winner and best record in AL
- AL East Winner
- Wildcard
- No playoffs

It's a pitchers game and the stars are aligning just right for the Yankee starters. It's all up hill from here for the Yanks.

Im psyched Os are in..but someone explain how that is...they are only 1 game ahead of Oakland ( tied with NY) with 3 games left..If Os lose all 3 and As win wouldnt they get the wildcard?..

If it ends up as you say, Oakland and Baltimore will both have the best records of the non first place teams. They will then knock heads in a 1 game playoff to determine who the BEST wild card will be. Something new MLB tried this year to make things more interesting and have more teams fight for survival down the stretch. I kinda like it. Good for the game.
