Pierzynski on fire.

I'm curious what Puljos said to A.J. the other night when he crossed home plate after hitting that HR

"I told you those roids would help!"

White Sox and Cubs erupting for one run against San Diego and Kansas City.

MLB Announces Post Season Schedule

Changes to the Postseason format include the following:

• Clubs from the same division will be allowed to play one another in either the Wild Card Game or the Division Series.

• Tiebreaker games will be played to determine Division Championships, even if the two tied Clubs are assured of participating in the Postseason. If a Division Championship tiebreaker game is necessary, the head-to-head record between the tied Clubs will determine home-field advantage. If the head-to-head record is tied, then division record will be the next tiebreaker.

• If two Clubs are tied for both Wild Card berths, home-field advantage will be determined by the head-to-head record between the tied Clubs. If the head-to-head record is tied, then division record will be the next tiebreaker.

Following the Wednesday, October 3rd scheduled close to the regular season, any necessary regular season tiebreaker games would be broadcast exclusively by TBS. The new Wild Card Games will launch the Postseason on Friday, October 5th and will be broadcast exclusively by TBS. This marks the second consecutive year that the Postseason will begin on a Friday. Before last year, the Postseason had not begun on a Friday since the 1915 World Series.

Two Division Series will begin on Saturday, October 6th, each involving matchups with two Division Champions squaring off. A full slate of Division Series games — two series openers, each involving a Wild Card Game winner, and a pair of Game Twos — is scheduled for Sunday, October 7th. The Division Series will run from Saturday, October 6th though Friday, October 12th, with two potential Game Fives on both Thursday, October 11th and Friday, October 12th. TBS will air 18 of the 20 Division Series games, while MLB Network will debut its live Postseason game coverage with one telecast on Sunday, October 7th and another on Wednesday, October 10th.

For the 2012 Postseason only, the five-game Division Series will begin with two home games for lower seeds, followed by up to three home games for higher seeds. This one-year change, which eliminates a travel day prior to a decisive Game Five of the Division Series, was necessary because the 2012 regular season schedule was established before the agreement on the new Postseason format was reached. Next year, the Division Series will return to the 2-2-1 format used in previous years.

The American League Championship Series will begin exclusively on TBS on Saturday, October 13th, and Sunday, October 14th will feature Game One of the National League Championship Series exclusively on FOX and Game Two of the ALCS on TBS. A potential Game Seven of the ALCS will be scheduled for Sunday, October 21st, while a potential Game Seven of the NLCS will be set for Monday, October 22nd.

Game One of the 2012 World Series will be scheduled for Wednesday, October 24th. Game Three of the Fall Classic will shift to the city of the American League Champions on Saturday, October 27th. A Game Seven, if necessary, would be played on Thursday, November 1st in the N.L. city. The scheduled off days during the World Series are Friday, October 26th and Tuesday, October 30th. In its 17th season as the official network broadcaster of Major League Baseball, FOX Sports will present exclusive live telecast coverage of the World Series.

MFY put CC Sabbathia on DL and sign Derek Lowe. Apparently they plan to use him out of the bullpen.

An extreme ground ball picher with Gold Glove shortstop Derek Jeter behind him? That's fucking hilarious! I can see it now "the ball rolls by diving Gold Glove shortstop Derek Jeter! The winning run comes around to score!" I'm gonna enjoy that.

Quick question. How many of the '04 Red Sox are they gonna sign?

Tim Wallach just tried to hold up Hanley at 3rd base and Hanley ignored him and scored easily. Wallach looked pissed, but it's obvious he was wrong.

C.C. has an elbow that is barking a bit too much. C.C. said it this were the playoffs, he would be on the mound.
Signing D. Lowe is very, very low risk. At the least, he can wear some pinstripes for about 15 days.
No reason to have D. Lowe start on the Yankees because the young kid Phelps has certainly earned a couple starts with C.C. on the DL.

Lowe is wearing #34.
He pitches 4 innings tonight
0 runs given up and only 2 hits.

Not bad

He lived to see them win. 92 is a good number. RIP.

Anybody ever see Teammates?

The doc about Teddy Ballgame, Pesky, Dom DiMaggio and Bobby Doerr?

I've never read the book, but the show I saw was great. My two buddies that don't give two shits about baseball liked it too. Of course, it's about friendship, not baseball.

Why was he hired in the first place? Has their ever been a time that he hasn't been a complete tool?

Why was he hired in the first place? Has their ever been a time that he hasn't been a complete tool?

Red Sox management wanted to hire a manager that would 'shake things up' in Boston and that's exactly that Bobby V. did.
What the management did not realize was Bobby V would rub the players the wrong way. Bobby V lost the locker room as early as spring training when he called out Youk.

The bloodletting begins. Theo demoted or canned three high ups in the organization this morning.

There's a lady celebrating her 106th birthday here at Wrigley today. I'd have thought everyone that was alive when they last won had to be dead.

“My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used,” said Cabrera through a statement, courtesy of Hank Schulman of The San Francisco Chronicle.
“I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down.”

If he just would've asked Ryan Braun for advice he could've gotten away with it.

25 of Dunn's 34 homers have been hit when the Sox are either down a run or tied.

Comeback player of the year? Shit, the White Sox may have 3 of them with Dunn, Rios and Peavy.

I understand how he could be considered, but to me it's more of Comeback to the Mendoza line.

He had 6 hits last year against lefties. This season he's second in the league in homers against them. And he doesn't have an error at first base either. I bet he finished top five for MVP consideration.
