Angels and Red Sox. Kind of ironic that they are playing each other right now and each team is almost in identical situations as far as making the playoffs. Didnt catch any of last night's game Scuds, but I guess it must have been mildly entertaining. Each team needs to go on quite the win tear to stand a chance at catching their foes. I'm talking winning like 13 of their next 15 games.

Yeah,it's unfortunate that they have to play each other(and hack each other up.)I can tell ya one problem you had last weekend.Both Del Carmen,and Papelbomb(close e nuff) look much more at ease in this series(away from the Yanks.)In other words,the rivalry is a little much for guys that new to the situation.That series was so hyped that the younger guys felt they were in the Championship Series,and didn't perform like they could.That kind of pressure is new for them,and they will do better against the Yanks in the future.You guys have relied heavily on some rookies.

Ya Scuds, you and I cant be excited about trading a couple wins and losses, meanwhile wasting time as the Yankees and A's continue to win.

Who you rooting for in the postseason if your Halos dont go on a magical tear and catch the A's? Probably the same team I'll root for if the Red Sox cant do the same...the Dodgers!

Yeah,if the Dodgers make it.They haven't hit a lick against good pitching though.Big problem.Washington,Cincy,Florida,Colorado,and San Francisco was the streak.That bunch had 2 good pitchers(Schmidt,and Francis,)and they struggled in those 2 games.Padres simply bare down n' pitch fantastic against them,,and it works.They have to start hitting good starters ,or it's 3 in out(if they make the post.)

They're going to make it Scuds. They are a team of destiny this year in a division which lacks any other storyline. Penny and Lowe will be pitching in game one and two and I hope they play the Mets.

Padres got to get themselves beat ,cuz Dodgers can't beat them.Sad,and embarassing.Padres play really bad sometimes though(not against the Dodgers though...their whole f'n year's self worth is based on beating the Dodgers.)Hope the blue crew can get they heads out of they a$$e$ before it's too late.They have 4 against the Mets in September,and that could be very bloody(one of the reasons the Dodgers have a 1 game lead is because the Padres took a beating in New York a couple weeks back.)If they get swept by the Mets, they are gunna have a hard time winning the division(finish on the road in Frisco...REMEMBER THEM? THE BEAT L.A....BEAT L.A..... BEAT L.A.....****** NATION.)The Dodgers don't exactly like that road.I'd say they shouldn't be favorites right now to win this.My God,I can just see it plain as can be in my head.Ray Durham going 12 for 16 in the last 3 days of the season(2 home runs....1 triple...7 doubles...2 singles...,and then he will say it was payback for the final series at Dodger Stadium in '04.) I have high hopes,but low expectations.They would have much better chances if they didn't have to finish on the road in Frisco.It's a killa..mark my words..a killa.

The Reds are out there the next 11 days for 10 games, I think if they can come back .500, they'll win the Central. Cardinals are horrific and the Reds stuck a fork in Houston to win the Wild Card, by taking 2 of 3. I think the Dodgers will win the West or get the Wild Card, with one of the other teams out West getting the Wild Card, if the Dodgers win the West, either way, I think they are in...Scuds, tell those West Coast Teams to take it easy on the Reds, the Dodgers buried them last time they played...

BTW,Penney really popped his hood last night.LOL...Ump was pinching pretty hard,and it's the last thing he needed against the team that has beaten them all year.Very frustrated team.They badly need to stop trying to slug,and start producing runs by getting Furcal on,and stealing 2nd...moving him over etc.etc..
