Three Spots Left With Two Days To Go

Last night the AL East was decided by a Red Sox loss against the Yankees. The Rays clinched a tie for the division with the Sox and won it due to the head to head record tiebreaker. So the Rays al AL East champs (did I really just type that??) And the Red Sox are the AL Wild Card. The only fight left in the American League is for the AL Central crown, and right now neither the Twins or the White Sox look like they want anything to do with it.

The NL has two races left, for the NL East and the wild card. Philly clinched at least a tie for the division with a win and a Mets loss yesterday. The Brewers were clutch last night against the hated Cubs and took a one game lead for the last playoff spot. With the win by Milwaukee, the Astros' hopes were ended, despite a 5-4 win over Atlanta with a walk off homer. Here are today's games that actually mean something.

Washington at Philadelphia

Win and Philly gets to pop the champagne. The Mets won already today so there's no scoreboard watching for the Phils.

Florida at New York Mets

This game was in the books before I even got out of bed. Johan pitched a three hitter to cut the Brewers' lead to half a game in the wild card race. Luckily for the Mets, Johan will pitch tomorrow on no days rest and hurl a no-hitter. That really puts some pressure on the Brew Crew.

Kansas City at Minnesota

The Twins got pwned yesterday on their own turf by lowly K.C. I win today puts some huge pressure on the White Sox, a loss gives them hope.

Cleveland at Chicago White Sox

The Sox have to stop the bleeding fast. Four game losing streaks at the end of the season in the nidst of a playoff chase is a good way to get people fired. They face the Tribe again tonight.

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee

Milwaukee was clutch last night, but they need to do it again to stay ahead of the Mets. The Brewers control their own destiny, time will tell if that's a good or a bad thing.
