Magic number down to 1 and the race for the best record in the AL intensifies. Can't take this series (or the rest) laying down. Probably toughest series remaining.

And the last late night game Friday. Yeah!!

Let's see the very good Cole.

Let's score runs early and often.

I'm pretty sure we'll clinch the division while in Oakland, maybe as soon as tomorrow. The last time we clinched the AL West in Oakland, we went to the World Series. A good omen, perhaps?

And while the #1 seed would be very helpful, I think that the #2 seed might end up being just about as nice. We'd get home field in round 1, a similarly talented team as the WC team, and still a chance to have home field in the ALCS if the #1 seed lost to the WC team. So while #1 should be the goal, #2 is still quite nice.

Khris Davis is sick and he missed the last 2 games against the Astros. I hope he still needs a few days to rest and doesn't play much this weekend.

All the talking heads are predicting the BoSox to win the ALCS. That should not be surprising to any of us here on this board.

I see that box of chocolates I sent him in the name of Jose Bautista worked....
