For the STEAL (why?) This could be elimination day GT 9.20

[rockycola]

Don't know why I'd want to steal another game thread, except that I'm a glutton for punishment.
btw, congrats to XpertDBA for another Win Prediction Contest championship!! Brilliant, as always.

And as for this sorry season:

“We made our bed,” Cal Raleigh said. “We’ve got to lay in it.”

Go! Kade, Go!!!

The Rangers beat the Blue Jays earlier on Saturday, claiming sole possession of first place in the American League West in the process. Texas (78-77) is atop the AL West by itself for the first time since July 30, while Houston (77-78) is now one game back.

Seattle could be eliminated for the division title as early as Sunday afternoon, as another loss at Coors Field coupled with another Rangers win against the Blue Jays would officially eliminate the Mariners.

Seattle’s elimination for the final AL Wild Card spot -- which always seemed like a long shot given how many other teams are in that race -- would be actualized with a White Sox win over the Tigers on Sunday, regardless of outcome in the series finale in Denver.

Saturday’s formula for defeat is one that the Mariners have turned from habit to specialty.

At least the Game Thread competition is still alive.

You need 2 wins I believe to take the lead. Good luck.

Hah! Mike, if I lose, percentage-wise, I'll stay beneath you.
If I go a Win, then Lose, I'll still be lower %.
But...if I Win, Win, Lose...I'll be up top again, as you say

However, my winner's circle is quantity Top that Brit Boy

Good luck to whomever... I'm watching the game out of habit, don't understand why they are using Arroyo as a platoon bat.

Agreed; at this point in the season, let him start, let him play.

BREAKING NEWS: Cal struck out.

[AT Fresno]

Sagano is not trying to get the Mariners to chase.... he's coming after them with strike after strike. I like that... That second inning against the M's was efficient.

[AT Fresno]

I know others don't agree with me, but that's OK. For me, this is the worst Mariner Broadcast team in history. I have not been able to listen much since they hired this metro beta guy from the Red Sox AAA team, I don't like Angie, can't stand RRS.... It's been a miserable experience since Niehaus passed. I hate these .... Brad Adams is OK but he's not calling the action. I almost always go to the other team[s announcers unless unless they are worse like Oakland.

[AT Fresno]

Kade Anderson has his curve ball dialed in today. Cal is starting to go for it a lot more.

[AT Fresno]

Poor Crawford, he can't run.... This team has a few slow guys.... actually the Rockies have some nice team speed.

[AT Fresno]

Arozarena can run a little bit. Nice to see, he got a great jump.
