    Not just that but the Rays have 9+ games ahead of the other teams mentioned. Post didn't make much sense.

      He must have meant Jays.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Did the Jays move?

        • Rangers w a gem today, w Jordan Montgomery tossing 7 scoreless, winning 2-0 over division rival Seattle. And the bullpen seems to have stabilized some lately. With the Astros' loss again today, they have a 1.5 G lead over them in the AL West.

          • It's hard to believe that D/FW has the best team in Texas, but there it is.

            I still recall a sportscaster of the last century saying that Texas had never played a meaningful game in September. It was about two years before Raffy Palmero and Juan Gonzalez discovered steroids. Two World Series teams ensued.

            At this rate, the Rangers will again be playing meaningful games in October.

            • The Rangers place Jon Gray on the 15-day IL, retroactive to September 28, with right lower forearm tightness.

              • The Rangers clinch a Division tie, a playoff spot, and win 90 games just two years after losing 100. They last made the playoffs in 2016.

                The Division race goes down to the final day. The Rangers win to eliminate Seattle while Verlander throws a 1-0 gem to keep pace.

                Edit. The Rangers lose on the final day and then lose the tiebreaker to Houston. Their Pythagorean win total was 95 games, so the Rangers left money on the table.

                    Not all that surprising, they are extremely streaky and the pitching staff is in shambles - both the starters (injured) and the bullpen (more likely to blow a save than convert one 33-30). They backed into the playoffs and wont last long there. If you watched the Rangers play over the last couple months, this is no surprise.

                      They'll likely get swept in the ALCS

                          It would appear that Ken is using the anti-jink to help his team.

                              You have the sweep part right so far.

                                Yeah, I was thinking he was using reverse psychology on himself.
