Looking at each of these teams still in the picture, I have the feeling that the fans of each of the teams have reason to feel queasy about their chances at the present time.
Take Boston, for instance. I'm sure Jay was not expecting to hear Jason Robards' voice right now: " Your position in the post-season is no longer secure"
Or Derek. Even with the Angels' gift last night, I bet Derek is not all too happy that he is tied for the lead instead of 2-3 games up at this point.
What about the Angels? Is Austin an Angels' fan? There are major concerns with that team.
I read the White Sox board yesterday after their stunning loss to KC - they all want Guillen fired and are in a panic mode.
Me? It's hard to believe that the Tribe is playing this well, and only has a 1/2 game lead in the wild card. This is unchartered territory for us, and we can't play this well for the last 16 games, can we?
The Yankees probably feel the most confident - since they look like they are on fire right now - but at this point, they would be left out of the playoffs- there's more work to do for them.
I'd guess we all are collectively the "nattering nabobs of negativity", as VP Agnew eloquently said in the 70s. We all have things to worry about. The final 16-17 games are going to be loaded with drama.

I'm beyond nervous right now and I would be happy to leave Boston with a split, despite winning the first game. And even with that, we might take the lead from the Angels with the way that they are playing. Who was pitching for them last night? Shrek..oh I mean Colon? There's your AL CY winner shitting to bed when it matters against a crappy team that has nothing to play for.
And for the love of God, please pitch around Vlad. This guy has the ability to put the entire team on his back for the last 2 weeks. No one else on that team can hit.
Indians are on fire and I have to agree with Jay that they are probably the favorites to win it all. Solid starters, outstanding bullpen, and the offense is now clicking at the right time. I mean everyone else has major issues.
Welcome, zmanno! Hope you are a Browns fan too.
Chi lost Saturday afternoon - now we are 4 games back....
C'mon, Cliff! We need another good one tongight!
Eric, that's dad. He tried to be ZMANNO1, but held in the shift button. Oh well.
