Well that pretty much sets up the playoffs. Only thing left to decide is if the AL WC is in New York or Houston.

And here. we. go. Good luck to everyone who needs it! Go Jays! Go Twins! Go Angels! Go Astros!

What a great set up for a season finale. The AL West and 1 WC still up for grabs. Jays and Royals and Bucs and Cubbies and Yanks and Stros and Rangers all duking it out for homefield. And the Angels fighting to get in. I feel a game 163 incoming. I hope it's the Astros and Rangers for the AL West. But the Angels and Astros for the last wildcard would be fun too. Halos need to win though to ensure a game 163. Go Angels!

Well, the 'Stros are a little more scary after last night. 21-5?! That's a football score. Well kinda, it's kinda weird for one team to get a safety and a field goal for 5 points, but still.

According to the Mets website, no refunds are given, instead you can exchange that ticket for a same priced or lower priced ticket or apply the cost (face value) of the ticket to a higher priced ticket to any future regular season game at Citi Field within 12 months of the original game date (subject to availability) http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/ballpark/weather.jsp But I'd expect the game to be rescheduled if it gets rained out. The Mets are tied with the Dodgers so 1 game could very well impact homefield in the NLDS.

Lots. According to baseball-reference.com The Giants have 10,863 wins The Cubs have 10,604 wins The Dodgers have 10,577 wins The Cards have 10,571 wins The Braves have 10,367 wins The Reds have 10,320 wins The Pirates have 10,239 wins

Don't worry you got this. Up by 2 and 2 innings to go.

I have a couple stories like that, the one I like best was when I went to Fenway Park. This jerk Red Sox 'fan' was swearing up a blue streak at me when I went with my little cousin dressed up in our Blue Jays gear. All the Sox fans around us yelled at him to shut up cause I was with a kid. It was a little surreal being a fan of the away team and having the home crowd on my side. You're alright by me Boston. Most actual loyal sports fans who go to games during the season (and not just during the postseason/push) are very nice and I've found it's true in most places. Go to a sparsely attended game anywhere and most everyone will be really nice. The playoffs are fun, but it brings the asshats out too.

I don't think they need more. I went to some of the games at Rogers Centre last week. It was bedlam. Some of them are jerks though. It happens a lot in Toronto, for all our sports. It's a very bandwagon-ish city. As soon as any team makes the postseason the jerks come out of the woodwork. I apologize on behalf of the nice ones, like me. Speaking of the Jays, looks like the Jays/O's are getting rained out. It is a mess at Camden Yards.

Beauty, he looks like he's just finished walking off. I'd risk Joaquin to get my hands on that if I was in the Baltimore area.

Looks like the O's saved all their runs for game 2.

WOO! My Jays own the East! It feels just like 1992 all over again. I was only 6 then, but i remember being pretty excited.

Damn foreigners perpetuating that American on American violence!

Double headers all over the country today. You gotta love baseball! Hope my Jays can clinch in Game 1. Would love to see all the bench guys come in for Game 2.

The last words of Capt. Seth Dozerman "Tell my wife... that I love her... work ethic."

You think? IIRC Jim and Pam took about the same time as Jake and Amy, about 2 seasons. I guess technically Jim and Pam took 3, but the first season of the Office was only 6 episodes. It's really more impressive Jim and Pam got together so quickly, since Pam was in a serious relationship at the beginning of the Office.

I agree. I actually loved Wuntch when she was going through (semi) official channels to mess with Holt. She got him a job she thought he'd fail at (Giggle Pig), then she spied on him using IAB, then she got him a job she hoped he'd succeed at, only to promote him out of the Captaincy. It was a little unbelievable that she had time to bother with all that in addition to her job as Deputy Chief, but it made enough sense that those things could happen and be pushed onto Holt, that it wasn't jarring to suspend your belief that she hated him enough to go out of her way to make his life difficult. I'm having a hard time believing that the NYPD would turn a blind eye to her subjecting a recently and highly decorated captain to this kind of behavior though. Dressing up in costumes is a job they could get any uniformed rookie cop to do. Using a captain who just made a bust that can be compared to the largest in NYPD history is a HUGE waste of resources. Also she's been recently promoted, I also have a hard time believing that a Chief in the NYPD could spend all her time overseeing the actions of a reletively small PR group, which seemingly accomplishes nothing. There's no way the NYPD would be happy with her promotion if this is how she's gonna use her time. Before it made sense because Wuntch gave Holt a task and then went away. You could assume she was hoping Holt would fail (or succeed) without more interference from her and she was completing her regular duties in the meantime.

The only problem I had was continuity. Taco had already drafted Sebastian Janikowski (and actually a second kicker) when he put him up for auction. Come on people, just because it's the final season doesn't mean that you have to phone it in on the accuracy of the draft board. I also don't understand how "The Coin" is supposed to work, if every decision is decided by the flip of a coin couldn't they all just keep proposing terrible trades to that team? There's a 50/50 chance they'd accept any trade no matter how terrible.

It doesn't help. It's still weird as all get out.

It did seem like that at first, but if this episode is any indication he sure fell out of that mood fast. I mean how does he go from horse riding and asking her dad for permission to date her to just assuming they are going to the dance together and not even mentioning it to her until the day before? He has to know Riley cared about being asked. I mean Charlie figured out exactly the way she wanted to be asked, and he doesn't interact with her everyday and have the exact same circle of friends. Could this be one of those situations where one person is driving the relationship and the other is just along for the ride? Charlie's reasoning is pretty sound he waited for Lucas to ask her and when he didn't he figured there was a problem. He could easily be right here.

I know I even

How did everyone's meeting with

Agreed on the part of the traitor. I always suspected Stupid game

To be fair the volunteered knew what was gonna happen. It's probably a lot less jarring when you know that you'll wake up in 2000 years, instead of getting into a car crash and it just happening against your will. Also in the most recent episode Pam asks one of them how their kid is doing, so it's likely that a husband and wife pair (or even whole families) might volunteer together and in that way at least they'd have each other, unlike most of the Waywardians.

You could argue that falls under coercion though.
