The Pirates were 0-819 in their franchise history after trailing by 9 runs. Now they are 1-819.The Reds have blown a 9-0 lead. 13 unanswered runs by Pittsburgh.
Boston's season has felt cursed, but if I were a Padres fan this year might have me giving up on baseball entirely and going on a pilgrimage to the desert to find myself or something. What an excruciating club.SD loses 5-2 in 11, they are now an almost impossible 0-12 in extra innings this season.
I'd have to look it up, but I believe they have only scored 3 runs in extra innings all season. You're not going to win a lot if you can't get the Manfred Man across.SD loses 5-2 in 11, they are now an almost impossible 0-12 in extra innings this season.
I'm a long time Padres fan and a longer time Red Sox fan.

The Astros are extremely fortunate that the Mariners are also collapsing. Should be an interesting series this week!Astros starter gives up 4 HR for 6 runs.
The Rays made numerous boneheaded plays in this series, getting picked off first by the catcher, terrible baserunning at times, and their pen was not good. They need to clean things up if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs. (I know half the team is hurt...)Meanwhile, the Blue Jays make three really nice defensive plays in the 9th inning to close out the Rays. (6-3, 1 unassisted, 2-1)
At least it's not as much of a schedule difference this year?With the O’s holding the tiebreaker and a 2.5 game lead, the AL East race is all but over now.
Rays will pay the ridiculous AL East penalty and go play the wildcard round while a team they are 8 games ahead of and played an easier schedule will get a bye. Said 8 game back team will then get an easier draw than the O’s by playing the winner of the 2 worst record teams. So AL East screwed all around.
All the more reason to just seed by record. If you want to keep divisions and let division winners in so a crappy AL Central team can bump a more deserving team from the last wildcard spot every year, fine. But the seeding is too much.At least it's not as much of a schedule difference this year?
Happy YED!Don't know if you guys noticed, but the Yankees have been eliminated.
I may need to take a break from the internet that week to avoid all the "but what about the word 'valuable'" whinging.Ohtani seems like a lock to win the AL MVP,

They look all the world like a team that hit the wallSeattle is already down 4-0.
Oof. Mariners may have gotten hot to early8 shutout innings from Verlander on 2 hits.
Mariners about to fall to 8-15 in September.
Called it 4 weeks agoOof. Mariners may have gotten hot to early
Houston is only 9-13 in September, with win #9 being last night. The next two games are huge because Texas might get far enough ahead that they start resting players... and they play Seattle to end the season while Houston plays Arizona.8 shutout innings from Verlander on 2 hits.
