Two more homers tonight for Jose “The Beast” Bautista. Holy flurking schnitt. ---

Jeez **Reds** , it sure would be nice if you would stop giving me the feeling that we aren’t going anywhere in the playoffs due to the way you’ve been playing baseball in September! ☹ ---

The Rangers beat the A’s last night to move their magic number down to two. They still have two more games against them, so hopefully they’ll clinch in the next day or so. ---

WEll, of all the Jays to win it with a bottom-of-the-11th homer, I wouldn’t have chosen Lyle Overpaid. Fact: Jose Bautista is leading the AL in homers by a margin of 14 (52 to Paul Konerko’s 38.) If he were to maintain that large a lead it would be the widest margin by which a player has led the AL in homers since Mickey Mantle in 1956. ---

Supposedly for the last series against the Angels, if for no other reason than to get his timing back down. But I bet he won’t be back until the playoffs. ---

And the Reds clinch the division with a Jay Bruce walk-off homerun. Except that he couldn’t walk off with that mob surrounding him. ---

> [@wheresgeorge04](#): > > Woo Hoo! Giants 2 games up, Rockies officially eliminated! Great night! The good news is that as long as the Padres don’t lose against the Cubs anymore, their fate is in their own hands since the last 3 games are against SF. If they want it badly enough, they can win their way back to 1st all on their own (instead of relying on other teams to help deliver them up). :crosses fingers: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-september-2010/552254.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-september-2010/552254.md?page=8)
