It's the only race that matters - the battle for a top 11 draft spot (as of 9/10am):
#6 MIA -- (wins tiebreaker with any teams other than SD/KC based on 2011 record) #7 BOS -- (now 1-11 in their last 12 games against LAA, OAK, SEA and TOR) #8 KC 0.5 GB (wins tiebreaker with any other team (tied with SD) based on 2011 record) #9 PIT (compensation pick due to failure to sign Mark Appel) #10 TOR 2.0 GB #11 NYM 2.5 GB #12 SD 3.0 GB (wins tiebreaker with any team (tied with KC) based on 2011 record)
Note: the top 11 draft picks are protected and cannot be lost.
With MIA and KC both winning, BOS has moved into the #7 spot, tied with MIA and 0.5 games ahead of (behind?) KC. BOS has a well-deserved day off on Monday before heading off to play the AL East teams the rest of the way. It should be noted that Boston loses the tiebreaker with any teams.

Dunno about you lot, but I've been watching CLE and MIN pretty closely recently as well. At 1-11 for the last 12 and facing the AL East the rest of the way, anything is possible!

Possible, but the Red Sox lose all tiebreakers and both CLE and MIN have one extra game to play.
If the Red Sox go 7-14 to finish the season at 70-92, CLE would have to finish 12-10 or better and MIN would have to finish 13-9 or better for BOS to finish below them. CLE and MIN play four times. KC remains a big factor; they play CLE and MIN nine times.

LOL, 7 more wins. I like you. We just got swept at home by a crappy Toronto team. Lost 2/3 at Seattle. Got swept in Oakland and LAA. I can see a 3 or 4 more win finish.

Teixeira GIDP with two on, one out in the top of the 9th to lead the Yankees to another loss. That's why you don't slide in to first. High-larious ;D
