While this looks like the quite the mismatch, CoolStandings.com has the Mariners playoff odds at 0% and the Red Sox at 1%. So take that, Boston.
Yesterday's game was number 143 on the season. There are just 19 games left. On a marathon scale, Sunday marked mile post 23. We're almost there, everyone! In the meantime we have some tasty Minor League playoff baseball to distract us from that sure-to-be blister, oxygen cramp and aching calf. Why did we decide to do this? This is stupid. Marathons are stupid. Pheidippides died from it. What possesses people to recreate an event that killed a man?
Mon Sep 13, 19:10: Doug Fister vs. Jon Lester
Tue Sep 14, 19:10: Luke French vs. Daisuke Matsuzaka
Wed Sep 15, 12:40: David Pauley vs. Clay Buchholz
Without Lester on staff, the Red Sox's best starter this season would be Buchholz and he's only been a tad above average. Boston doesn't have any duds in the rotation, but averageness permeates nearly the entirety of it.

I love the Pheidippides reference!
It is what I point out to anyone that is trying to talk me into doing long distance running.
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

I no longer have the strength or passion to any M's vs. Red Sox games this season.
You can have Safeco for the next 3 days, you bandwagon fruits. I don’t care. Just don’t make too big of a mess. Enjoy missing the playoffs, too.

It's ok. They're all lonely anyways.

I had a grapefruit for breakfast this morning and it wasn't very satisfying so I yelled at it for being a bandwagon fruit

Did you ask it if it was a Grapefruit before 2004?
