This is what we're rooting for

Brewers over Padres

Rockies over Diamondbacks

Phillies over Nationals

Mets over Marlins (that was hard to type)

These four things happen and we have a four way playoff. Let's have more baseball!


Update 1:58: Tom Glavine blew UP. Marlins lead 7-1 in the first. Tommy lasts 1/3 of an inning.

Chase Utley gets Jimmy Rollins home on a sac fly. Phillies 1, Nats 0.

The only thing on TV is football and I'm sad.

Update 2:39: Ryan Howard just hit a bases loaded single with two outs in the 3rd to put the Phils up 3-0.

Mets still down 7-1 and they are on their third pitcher of the day. Dontrelle just got run after loading the bases. What was I saying about a classic pitching matchup?

San Diego's up 3-0 on the Brew Crew in the 1st. Win and they're in.

The Braves game finally started, thank God. They're getting pounded, but I have to watch Craig Biggio's last game.

Update 2:43: Paul LoDuca grounds a dribbler to the pitcher to end the rally. 7-1 going into the fourth.

Update 3:25: The Marlins tacked on another in the fifth. Washington scraped up a run against the Phillies. Both games entering the 6th.

I just realized Matt Holliday passed Chipper in the batting average race. Chipper's 0-1 with a walk, Matt was walked in his only at bat so far. Sigh.

Update 4:14: Craig Biggio just got taken out of the game. Lat at bat: Ground out Chipper to Thorman.

Phillies are cruising 6-1. Rollins has an RBI triple, Howard has a solo shot.

Mets are floundering 1-8. They are on their 7th pitcher.

Milwaukee just put a 4 spot on the board and lead the Pads 6-4. Hope for the Rockies.

Snakes and Rocks scoreless in the 4th. Matt Holliday is 0-1 and down to .339. Too bad Chipper's 0-3 including a fly out where the fielder tripped and caught the ball while on his ass.

Update 4:33: 2 outs in the ninth at Shea. The place is deserted.

Update 4:35: Luis Castillo whiffs to (maybe) end the Mets' season. Phillies are three outs away from a division title.

Update 4:36: Braves end the season with a 3-0 loss to the Astros. Andruw didn't even play.

Update 4:40: Wily Mo strikes out. See the post above this one.

Update 4:44: Gabe Gross breaks it open with a bases loaded triple. 9-4 Brew Crew.

Arizona and Colorado scoreless in the 6th. Zona has one hit with a lineup featuring mostly rookies.

Joe Simpson just announced on the Braves' radio broadcast that there are 153 days until spring training games start. I just cried a little.

Update 5:02: Brad Hawpe with a two out RBI double givs the Rockies a 1-0 lead in the 6th.

Adrian Gonzalez boots in a run. 10-4 Brewers. It's not a 4 way tie, but I'll take a one game playoff.

Update 5:12: Carlos Quentin ties it up with an RBI single. Snakes still threatening with 2 outs in the 7th.

Update 5:19: Important tidbit from Mitch Evans on the Braves' postgame show. Chipper goes 0-3 today and ends the year at .337. Holliday is 0-2 with probably one more at bat in this game at least and currently stands at .339. If the Rockies win and force a playoff, the at bats from that game count and Chipper would still be in the running for the batting title.
GO ROCKIES

Update 5:35:
All over in San Diego. They tried to make a comeback in the 9th, but fell 11-6. Even if the Rockies end up losing, this is no way to go into the playoffs.

Update 5:41: Matt Holliday singles. Goddamnit.

Update 5:45: Garrett Atkins singles in a run to give the Rockies the lead. Bases are still loaded with no outs and a rookie pitcher on the mound. The Padres are thinking about who to start tomorrow. Hawpe doubles in two more as I type.

Update 6:08: Two outs in the 9th, and the D-backs are making a comeback on closer Manny Corpas. Steven Drew up to bat with his team down by one with a runner on first.

Update 6:12: Drew grounds out weakly to the pitcher. We got free baseball tomorrow!

Update 6:17: Finally found the coin flip results. The Rockies host the Padres in a one game playoff tomorrow. Looks like Peavy will start... Awesome!
