    Really? Thats pretty cool. Having a pretty damn solid season and hopefully he gets a playoff start. Doesn't seem to get rattled for such a young pitcher.
    I think he'll definitely get a playoff start. Maybe home?

    Don't know about at home. That would most likely mean he's the second starter and I'm not sure I see that but who knows.

    Would be awesome if Tampa could pull out a win tonight and get it back within 3. Going to be a big series at Fenway this weekend.

    I'm only thinking home because he would be more comfortable there than on the road in the playoffs for his first playoff game.

    I'll probably tune in to that a few times this weekend.

    Yeah, I assumed that's probably what you were thinking. The playoff rotation is really up in the air, see how everyone does over the next 2 weeks. I would just be suprised to see him as the number 2 starter although I don't think I would complain if he was.

    Last west coast game until Memorial Day weekend next year. I can live with that, aside from the fact it means baseball is almost over.

    Yanks in DC next year, I will defintely be hitting that up. Plan to get to Citi Field and DC next year at a minimum.

    Still not coming to Philly. Have they been to Citizens Park besides the World Series?

    2006 a month or so after I moved here they were here for a series. Had tickets behind the yanks dugout for all three games that i got for face value 2 weeks before. Times have changed. Mariano had an at bat in one of the games, was hilarious.

    Yep. Right now, if the season were to end today, I think they'd play Detroit in the ALDS. Game 1 would be pretty amazing with CC against Verlander.

    I thought If it ended today it would be yanks-Texas and Boston- Detroit. That's what I'm hoping for.

    Doesn't the winner of the east normally play the winner of the central?

    Best record plays the wild card unless it's the same division. Since Boston will likely be the wild card yanks will get the team with the worse record of the other two.
