Philadelphia Phillies @ Toronto Blue Jays:
Game 2
Saturday, August 25th, 4:07pm EST. Toronto, Ontario
By my calculations....... The Jays need to go 30-0 to have a damn chance to be within possible Wild Card contention, not clinching or even guaranteed attaining one.
The Oakland A's got a record (as of today) of 77-52 to HOLD the FINAL WILDCARD SPOT. That's 25 games over freaking .500!
Also they must hope the A's don't mathematically eliminate them too by the final week.

That's a mighty desperation climb up a mountain right now....
Well, just bite on one game at a time and stay tuned on the players that are not lazy to stay on the field.
GAMETIME!

Sanchez, you can either do this: Pitch well & impress us, or get another injury and force the nicest Dad and Daughter couple of Gibby and Nikki to visit you on the mound,
Enjoy your weekends everyone!
