10/4 4-1 W over the Padres
We started late on the west coast, already knowing that the Astros had won again. LA had to win this in order to lock up the West. Frank Tanana (15-8) got the start, and he's been really, really inconsistent. He has come through for us though when we needed and today, he came through. LA jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 2nd, helped along by an Inky solo homer (35). The Padres answered with 1 in the bottom half of the inning. Tanana was on form pitching well. Nobody else scored until the top of the 8th when Inky, who already had a couple hits in the game, homered again (36) to put the nail in the Padres, and Astros season. Don Robinson struck out 2 in the 9th to get his 13th save and he lowered his ERA to a season ending 4.89. The Astros won their final 5 games, and went 8-2 in the final 10, and LA still won.


THE DODGERS HAVE WON THE WEST AGAIN!!!!!


Over in the AL West, the Mariners needed to win to lock it up, but the Rangers kept it from happening, winning 4-3. Both the White Sox and Angels needed a win to stay in it. The White Sox, who feature 4 guys with over 30 HR's, could not get it done and fell to the A's 4-2. That made it up to the Angels to win in order to push it to a playoff game. And they came through with flying colors. Backed by 4 HR's, 2 belonging to Dave Henderson (25), they made Neal Heaton a 19 game loser, with an 18-hit, 17 runs, 17-5 crushing of the Indians.


The M's will face the Angels in a 1 game playoff to see who will face the Blue Jays in the ALCS. The Mariners are sending Nolan Ryan (18-9, 4.75) to the hill to face Mike Witt (18-11, 4.07) in Cali.


The game featured 4 lead changes, a 6-6 tie after the 2nd inning, Mark McGwire hitting his 53rd HR of the year, Nolan Ryan walking 8 M's, and Mike Witt getting a game score of 0. He pitched 2.2 innings, allowed 9 hits and 9 runs. In the end, it was the Mariners that pulled off the 12-9 win over the Angels, knocking off the favored Angels.


This is the end of the regular season.
