Let’s not get cute here Dusty. Verlander pitches the 9th. 

Jose Abreu is in the "no fucking around" mood tonight for sure

These fans are trash.

Sweep the fucking leg.

Don't those stupid fucks get tired of booing?

Nah my man. When you have nothing to root for, you need something to root against. Fuck em 

Classless pieces of shit loser fans. Fuck off seattle.

Put it in the seats.

there's a reason seattle is the other home of the 12th man

Now I’ve got a new team to hate.

Who knew that you were allowed to win the first game of a series?

JV demise is greatly exaggerated

Might impressive night for JV. And great to see some clutch RBIs for a change.

We never need to face Kansas City or Oakland in the playoffs, right?

Thats 1 lets get another tomorrow.  Thats the team I like to watch. 

If we sweep Seattle, they are eliminated? I guess technically they could still beat out Toronto, but we sweep we clinch a playoff spot. The way this team plays on the road, getting 4 or 5 playoff road games to start would probably be better.

The announcers said last night (assuming they know wtf they are talking about) that a sweep by either team would not mathematically eliminate the swept team.

At this point Tex/Sea/Houston could still all end with same record.  Highly unlikely, but if we win next 2, Texas loses next two, we get swept by AZ and Sea sweeps Tex everyone would be 88-74

Hell Toronto could finish 88-74 also if they only win 1 remaining game

No. We are 3.5 up on Seattle if they sweep. If they win their last 4 and we lose our last 3 we end up tied and they have tie breaker in hand on us and will go before us.

I miscalculated.

Just fucking do what we did last night and make it moot.  

Jesus, we YET AGAIN only play like contenders on the road against playoff caliber teams. Otherwise, we play like a Tom Herman coached team against Maryland.

If we can't win the division, I'd rather stay right where we are and play Minnesota instead of the Rays.  If we beat Minnesota, then we'd open the ALDS at the Rangers on October 7.  If that was a night game, that would make for a helluva day in Dallas.  There would be a game on Sunday at the Rangers too, and Monday is a holiday.

The only discernible pattern to our play is that we seem to feel way less pressure on the road against good teams than at home against bad ones. If makes no sense, but perhaps it now ends up working in our favor.

For Seattle, meanwhile, the collar could be getting a bit snug. They went from out of it to leading the division to letting it slip away here at the end. And now they have to figure it out in another high-pressure situation against their nemesis. I hope they continue to handle it poorly and that Javier's high heat is moving the way JV's was.

What about this season makes you think we will play better against the Twins than the Rays?

Thankfully the royals won’t be in the playoffs and all we would face is playoff teams.

You raise a good point.

Maybe my worst sports day was starting out October 12, 2019 in Austin, driving to Dallas for 11am kickoff, watching horns lose 34-27, then driving to Houston for 7pm ALCS Game 1 vs Yankees and watching the Astros lose 7-0.

Hmmmm... So either you're due or you're a jinx.

If it were me, I'd just eliminate the jinx opp.

If it results in us firing our manager like last time, I’m all for it.

Nice thought. Unfortunately, they're not going to do anything to help us. 

This thread has sure swung wildly based on one win.  We're sweeping now?  I'd cut your arm off to split the next two with Seattle.

Haha it’s what we do. Win one and we’re going to the WS.
