2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

All I can say is, wow.

Well, that's not all, really. Josh Hamilton is an idiot and a head case.

OK, now that's all I can say.

 

And the A's score another run. MLB is fortunate Raiders have the bye this weekend.

 

Read it wrong. Thought it meant both divisions ended in a tiebreaker. Now, that would be awesome but not this year.

 

If the A's and Yankees lose, who gets the HFA tiebreaker? Or what if it's the Orioles and A's?

 

Pretty sure they schedule it that way intentionally.

 

A's hold head to head against O's.

If it's A's and Yankees, as explained on A's TV the other night:

--Head to head tied at 5-5
--Intra-division winning pct. is next, and they said it would apply even though they're in different divisions and played a different number of divisional games. Anyway I think he A's are up now but that maybe could end up tied too.
--next would be record in final 81 games, then final 82 games etc until they break the tie.

 

Overall record minus interleague games should be used for teams in different divisions.

 

This has probably already been covered, but if the Rangers lose and end up tied with Baltimore, who's home in the WC game?

 

Probably. The Raiders made much of having the only shared stadium in the NFL early in the season (and, granted, the Raiders could play at Oakland Tech and still suck), but don't the Jays and Argos still share Rogers Centre?

 

If Baltimore wins tonight I assume it would be the O's based on having the better record.

 

But if the Orioles lose, won't that leave them tied with Texas?

 

Ryan Cook fans Mike Napoli with two on and two out in the seventh. Yes!!!
