They have a better run differential than the '03 Tigers as it stands.

Detroit finished -337 and the ChiSox are currently at -320.

Yall done fkd around and let us back in the tournament after going 17-30 to start the season

We clinched tonight and get to rest everyone for an entire week

If the Tigers move up and the Royals drop back, we basically get 2 byes to then go to Cleveland to see wassup

Unfortunately we clinched tonight instead of tomorrow when I’m there for the game, but I’ll take a W either way. We don’t have to worry about Seattle crawling into the division and this Cleveland series is now totally meaningless since no one can move up or down in standings.

Manager Derek Shelton and general manager Ben Cherington insist that the decision had nothing to do with Tellez's pending bonus.

[Michael's Black Son]

Imagine when they add Soto next season OMG

Not after that Phillies choke job in the playoffs last year and Soto likes being on the Bronx and playing with a dude who can get more than 30 struggles homers — and I don’t mean Stanton

I forgot.

The San Francisco Giants really fukked over the Oakland A's to get another stadium, right?

I used to know what went down but I forgot.
I'm pretty sure the Giants blocked the A's move to San Jose or something like that.

Giants consider SJ a part of their Fandom so I think he's right they basically said no. Fremont is like 20 minutes away from sj anyway.

Giants consider SJ a part of their Fandom so I think he's right they basically said no. Fremont is like 20 minutes away from sj anyway.

Oakland gave SF territorial rights to San Jose. When Oakland wanted to relocate there, SF blocked them.

Ulmer remembers when, 12 years ago, the A's tried to move to an area west of downtown, adjacent to the Diridon transit station and the SAP Center -- HP Pavillion at the time.

"I remember, they wanted to put it right there and that would have been a beautiful ballpark because you had the Caltrain, you got the bus station, you got everything coming right here!"

That deal was quashed by the Giants, who exerted their territorial rights. The irony is that the only reason the Giants have those rights is because A's owner Walter Haas agreed to it in 1990 -- for free -- as a way to keep the Giants in the Bay Area and not relocate to Florida. At the time, Santa Clara County -- including San Jose -- was considered neutral territory for the two teams.

"The A's ownership at the time was incredibly magnanimous," Mahan said. "Then the whole idea was that the Giants were looking to build a stadium in the South Bay -- which never happened -- but they held on to the territorial restriction."

"And Major League Baseball needs to stop that, OK?" Ulmer said. "They need to stop it because it's a monopoly. It's like playing a game of Monopoly. OK, I own Boardwalk. You can't own it but yet, still, you ain't gonna be able to put nothing here unless I say so!"

As the tenth-largest city in America boasting the economic strength of Silicon Valley, San Jose is eager to get out of the minor leagues. And the mayor thinks that shouldn't be dictated by their "smaller neighbor to the north."

San Jose asks MLB to remove Giants' 'territorial rights' over Bay Area expansion

San Jose hasn't given up the long-held dream of getting a Major League team in the South Bay.
