    Re: 9/8 - 9/21 Game Discussion Thread

    So far this week on my fantasy team I have:

    Cashner: 2-hit shutout
    Arrieta: 1-hit shutout
    Roark: 0 R in 7 innings
    Peavy: 0 R through 5 so far

    And Dan Haren.

      Congrats to the O's for winning the division. It's a great story to see the O's have that kind of success again.

      Anywho, I'll be cheering for the Royals (if they make it) and the Exp...Nationals in the playoffs.

        Yeah, congratulations Baltimore. They deserve it.

          The sole walk was a high pitch to an auto-taking Billy Hamilton who was then caught stealing after video review overturned the safe call.

          The hit was just datdudeBP getting a good hack on an 0-2 pitch that Matt "don't call me Julius" Szczur just barely couldn't get going full tilt dive on the warning track. I don't think Alcantara could've gotten to it either for what it's worth.

          I really feel like I should send Scott Feldman some sort of a gift for magically turning into Jake Arrieta for us.
          The 0-2 pitch was a mistake FB right down the pipe.. I'm surprised BP didn't hit it out. And it was an incredible effort by Szczur, I didn't think there was a chance anyone would get close to it off the bat. Another stellar outing in a magnificent season for Arrieta. I hope he can stay healthy; he has a couple of mechanical things that make me concerned about his longevity, but hopefully his body can overcome them.

              I'd rather the O's over the Red Sox,Yankees and empty stadium Rays. Just sucks to Red Sox,Yankees dominate division for so long,Rays/O's suck,then Rays/O's turning their teams around and winning divisions, while the Jays are just stuck in the middle.

              They're like the King of the Hill(the timelapse part of the intro) of the AL East. They just stay in the middle doing their own thing, while everything around them is constantly changing.


              As for playoffs, been hoping for this for a few years, but A's-Nats is matchup I want to see.

                The Jays' theme song should be "stuck in the middle with you".

                      I'm still in disbelief. Just please win the whole thing. Win it for Markakis. Win it for Buck. Win it for us...just win it for somebody.

                        Too bad Peter Angelos will reap the rewards of them winning.

                          Stop me if you've heard this before, but the Braves don't have any runs half way through the game…they've scored 19 runs over the last 10 days.

                              Hrm...I have a feeling the Blue Jays may have decided to lay down for the rest of the season.
