It's funny that there's 105,000 screaming Mexican fans ramped up for 49ers/Cardinals, but if the game was back in Phoenix, they'd be lucky to top 25,000.

from this AM - Baseball Pospectus playoff odds:

Quote

The scenario that hit with the White Sox and Indians earlier this week strikes
again. The Yankees have clinched a tie for the AL East which, because of the
way the permutations of the wild card work, is being called a division title
by Major League Baseball and their "tiebreakers". Ugh. The post-season odds
report that scenario as a 50% title for each and a 50% wild card for each. The
odds of making the playoffs, as opposed to the division/wild card split,
remain unchanged by MLB's bookkeeping.

The Red Sox are being given about a 71% chance of clinching a playoff spot
outright today, by either winning or having the Indians lose. There's a 29%
chance of a playoff with the Indians on Monday, which is being split 50/50
betwen them.

One year too late for the epic classic Shank piece - Clemens v. Pedro on Halloween night.

Get a rain out in there and it could be Clemens/Schilling in Game 7 on Halloween.

I was told there would be no math involved.

Did anyone mention this already?

ANOTHER cry baby article about Sean McDonough? :o :o

http://www.boston.co...roadcast_booth/

Ten months later, McDonough still struggles with the idea that after 17 seasons with the Sox, he's no longer part of the team's broadcast lineup.

Think of all the Ron Mexico jerseys they're gonna sell.

These are the two worst qbs I've ever seen in the same game

Why would they mike Josh McNown? He is the stupidist person on earth. The only reason he isnt the worst qb on earth is because Tim Rattay is still alive

Gee, big surprise. Theisman is way off in interpreting a review. Not even close in what he is arguing. Then when proven wrong, he reverses ground and says the call is "the way it should be...."

What a tool. I swear some of these announcers doing major games are as bad as the jackasses on WEEI, just in a different way. But think of all the horrendous announcers we're routinely subjected to on the national scene.....McCarver, Morgan, Theisman, Trumpy, etc. The list is much longer.

Sean McDonough really needs to get over it. I mean, come on, now.

Oh yeah, the real reason for my post....

How big an aywhole is DD!  The Sox have clinched the wild card, won the game and the most recent post on his lame site is a picture of dejected fans from yesterday's game.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, what the hell does the Globe see in this numbnut?

I (regrettably) just went to his site. He has it updated. I like this from yesterday:

Isn’t That Special: Schilling, Sox Take on Columbus for Wild Card

Apparently the !(^&%$*!^ didn't realize the Yankees needed to win to NOT have to to Anaheim for games one and two...
