2012 Ultimate MLB thread!

Giants clinch.

Everybody wrote them off after Melky Cabrera-gate but cant put down a champion.

Looking like the Reds.

Kings who is the Giants closer right now?

Still don't understand this format where the Reds would have to play 2 games in SF first, but Latos has been on fire and has great numbers against the Giants at their place so whatever

Tigers are just a half game back now with 2 against the Twins today.

Reds in. Game over for MLB.

Sergio Romo and Javier Lopez mix and match. They have got the job done but it would be nice to have them in their usual roles for the playoffs. I am fairly confident they'll close out the games they are brought in to close, but i'm worried about the set up roles. Those two guys are the reliable set up guys, now we don't have them and also the closer position gets shakier in the playoffs and while they have done well in the season a closer by committee can blow up in the playoffs. It takes a certain edge to be a big time closer in the playoffs, Wilson has it. Javier was money in the postseason in 2010. Romo was awful in the playoffs in 2010. It remains to be seen with these two. Definitely worried for the bullpen.

Also, i don't know why the Giants get home field as well.

I don't like the new system and can see it being blasted big time if Atlanta misses out on the playoffs because they lose one game against a team they were much better than all season just because the MLB wanted one more day of excitement.

Cool thanks for the knowledge.

Tigers won tonight but so did the Soxs

White Sox lost today. Door opened for the Tigers to tie it up tonight. Good luck Timmeh.

Yeah this is a big game for us to get over the hump and tie them up.

And we are now tied with 8 to go and we have some what of the easier schedule. We should win this division by 2 games at least.

man, i almost wish the Giants were still in a race. These games feel so empty.

Shit trust me its better to have clinched already lol.

I'm still rooting for Baltimore to beat out Yankees. That way at the very least they burn up CC on the Wild Card game.

I think we will get the winner of the Yankees and Orioles and to be honest I dont care which 1 it is.

Well who would have thought this about 2 weeks ago but the Tigers can be the 1st AL team to clinch a playoff birth tomorrow.

alright bitches .. we need to start hitting this thread uppppp!

Damn Rangers .. they only need to win 1 of these next two games .. or actually in theory .. they only have to win 1 of the next 3 games .. but I'd rather it not come down to the Wildcard game.. that would suck

Yeah I'll be pretty disappointed if Oakland runs us down at the end of the season.

I have to be honest I would love for the A's to catch the Rangers but I dont think it will happen.

Well they caught us. 1 game playoff for the division title today. I really hate that it comes down to this.

i am so pissed right now i can't even begin to explain it .. I can not believe it has came down to this..

The Yankees and Tigers put up 4-5 runs on Griffin (they were not playing in Oakland but still) if the Rangers are a playoff team they will need to do the same..

And Dempster better step the fuck up.

Yeah it's a pretty bad feeling. It shouldn't have come to this. Also fuck the Red Sox for giving up at the end of the year. Fucking bitches.
