Boston fans are cheering for the Yanks so far tonight. 6-0 Yanks over Rays as Boston is up 3-2 over the O’s and threatening for more. Meanwhile Cleveland is up 3-1 over Tigers in the 6th. If Tigers lose they’re packing their bags for NYC. ---

Also Card and Braves are both winning right now. And on a Jones Homer, Yanks are up 7-0 ---

When the hell did Tampa score 6 runs? Geez, this one’s coming down to the wire. ---

Tampa put up a big 6 spot on the Yanks. Normally I would hate this but I know it is a 100 times worse for Red Sox fans. ---

And now the Rangers are up 3-1. Ah well. I’m confident the Tigers can compete with anyone anywhere right now, so it doesn’t really matter where we play Friday. ---

Rays just tied the game with 2 outs in bottom of 9th. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much pant-shittingly awesome baseball going on _at exactly the same time_. The Braves and Phillies are in extras in a game Atlanta absolutely must win. The Rays just completed a seven-run comeback with a .108 hitter homering off a guy who’s been unhittable all year. The Red Sox are up one in a game we don’t yet know if they’ll be able to finish. This is crazy. ---

I’ve got to assume that it’s a playoff weather delay scenario, and that barring a tsunami racing up the Chesapeake, the game will be completed tonight. ---

This is amazing. 2 extra innings games and the rain delay. Who’d have thunk it. ---

Milwaukee won their 96th game, setting a franchise record and making them the #2 seed in the NL no matter what Arizona does. ---

Ace just worked into and out of trouble in Baltimore. ---

I’ve got to assume that it’s a playoff weather delay scenario, and that barring a tsunami racing up the Chesapeake, the game will be completed tonight. It’s possibly worth noting that the AL game (if necessary) is the early game tomorrow, at 4:07 Eastern. ---

This really is a fantastic night. Though I have to think at this point Girardi is praying for a Rays RBI. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > This really is a fantastic night. Though I have to think at this point Girardi is praying for a Rays RBI. You have to give Girardi some credit; he could have long ago just sent in the Scranton squad. He doesn’t need to win, and could justifiably have said “Look, Boston’s problems aren’t my problems; I have a playoff series to worry about, and I’ll just do whatever helps my team.” But he’s fighting the good fight. ---

Yep, this is as exciting as all getout. My [MLB.TV](http://MLB.TV) is working overtime tonight. Phillies now up 4-3 over Atlanta. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-september-2011/594832.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-september-2011/594832.md?page=8)
