Cleveland hit Pontoon

http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/82689/21-0-the-indians-may-never-lose-again

NB - The reference to the 1916 Giants is rubbish. They won 12 in a row, then tied a game before winning another 14. That's not 26 consecutive wins, that's 27 unbeaten games

What a strange old season so far.

Dodgers looking invincible, then hit the skids.
Cleveland looking ok, then putting a record-breaking unbeaten run together.

Rhys Hoskins providing an interesting home-run hitting twist to the end of the season for the un-fancied, rebuilding, up-and-coming young Philadelphia Phillies:

Recently someone asked Don Mattingly if he was going to put a shift on against Hoskins. Mattingly replied, "Can I put players in the seats?"

Indians finally lose.

Red Sox win a great game in the 15th.

Another extra innings win for the Red Sox last night, unfortunately the Yankees keep winning as well. Magic numbers are 2 (with the Angles) for the playoffs and 9 with the Yankees for the division title.

Well i've never seen that before. Red Sox got a Reds playet in a pick off between first and second. Pedroia threw it away during the run down and he scored a run while the Red Sox were fannying around!

A lot less confident now about the Red Sox doing much in the playoffs than I was a week ago. Great time to start clocking up the injuries.
