Def two massive series this weekend with Sox-Jays and O's-Tigers

Pretty sad, only 24 yrs old.

Very sad news. The guy had a pretty incredible personal story, too.

Really sad news. The guy was a superstar and an incredible human being. This is hard to watch, but I think anyone who wants a glimpse into who Jose Fernandez was should see it:

Came in here to post the same thing. Simply amazing. HR of the year. Gordon said he doesn't even hit it that far in BP.

Awesome.  I've watched it a few times now.  I've also noticed a lot of dust following me around.

Hard not to get choked up.

I watched highlights from that game today. I'm not a big baseball guy, but it was a really touching tribute. They said the whole game was like a memorial service. They didn't play any of the usual ads or music between innings, etc. just nothing but baseball. Yeah... real dusty in the Admirals Club today. Allergies were going nuts for sure.

Wild Card race is getting tight!

No matter what happens, honestly, it has been an amazing ride this season with the O's.

I can't even imagine where we would be without Jimenez and Kim.  Kim barely made the team at the beginning of the year(Hell, he was boo'd on opening day because he refused to take a AAA demotion) and Ubaldo was almost traded/cut multiple times. 

Don't get me wrong, if we miss the playoffs, I am going to be beyond bummed/borderline pissed, but it's nice to play meaningful, pacing back and forth, jumping up and down and screaming(literally, last night), bury my face in disgust, games in late September.

:mrgreen:

O's-Yanks and Jays-Sawx to finish the season with the three teams not nicknamed the "Evil Empire" controlling their own destiny.  Love it.

Are the sawx still pushing for home field?  I honestly don't know.

Sorry, Matt.....but I gotta get a dig in:

I've got tickets to Jays/O's on 9/29, last regular season home game, I'm hoping that's the game the Jays clinch the AL East.

How'd that work out for you?   :-P  Tied for the #1 wild card spot.  Gonna be a fun/interesting final weekend!  Weather is going to be a major factor unfortunately.

3 games in 4 days didn't work out so well.

I have tickets to game 163 and the WC. Could get crazy.

Will get crazy for sure.

We may not know who's going where until late Monday with CLE-DET postponed today and whatever else happens this weekend with the weather. Nice work scoring those tix already though.

[mattstick]

162! Bring it.

[antelope19]

162! Bring it.

I'll be pacing back and forth all afternoon.

AWWWWW YEAH

See you Tuesday.
