I know we all want Cleveland to beat Houston but on a positive note we moved to 3 ahead of Cleveland for home field advantage in the playoffs. Technically 4 ahead because we won the season series.

Either way it looks like we will be destined for the Great White North, Fenway little league field, or Camden Yards for the Divisional series.

Not again with this 9 pm. :Cry:
Get used to it for a few more games. Once we are done with Houston early next week we play 12 of the last 15 at home with those 3 away games, you guessed it, out west in Oakland. I do dislike those west coast games so I am right there with you.

Don't mind this nor that DDJ is leading-off either.
Yeah, it wasn't a big deal to me either even though I think Moreland can handle his own with LHers. But Rua needs to play some since we do not know if Moreland will be back next year or not.

I think we cut Moreland a three year deal. Two guaranteed and an option. Just a thought. Given his stock is low he will take it.

Would you rather spend on Moreland or Desmaond? We traded away both of our nearest to being ready CF prospects and we still have Gallo, Rua, and Guzman for 1B. Profar can play 1B at times as well.

I think we can sign both Ian and Mitch. Ian's stock has come down quite a bit and a three year deal with him with options may be his best bet. Of course the Mets or Yankees might over pay for him.

Don't get me wrong...Ian is a huge part of why we are where we are. Yet his second half numbers are average. You don't over pay for a very good half season. I hope he rakes the rest of the way and is the WS MVP. But now? Above average.

Gallo is a non-option at first base as far as I'm concerned right now.

I mind it a bit. Desmond needs a day off or two. We have call ups and there is no reason not to give the man a break. Gomie can go to center for a day or two.

I/us have been calling for him to get time off for about a month. And it's come pretty apparent that's just not in the cards, or so it seems anyway.

Probably go watch at the bar, so whichever channel they have it on is what I will be listening to I guess. Thanks though
