Also I make the connection between Albert Pujols/Michael Wacha and Rogers Hornsby/Frankie Frisch.

Meanwhile in Texas, why are the Angels and Rangers basically wearing identical uniforms? How hard is it to coordinate which jersey each team is wearing?

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (September.26th) – Updated Yearly ‘WOB’ Standings

Jurickson Profar came off the bench to crush a walk off homer that kept the Rangers in the Wild Card hunt by topping the Angels, 6-5.

Tommy Medica got on base 3 times and scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th, giving Padres fans something to cheer about in PetCo’s season finale, 3-2 over Arizona.

Alex Cobb was not intimidated  by an emotional Yankee Stadium crowd. He kept New York off the scoreboard with 7 innings of 3 hit shutout ball, giving Tampa Bay the 4-0 victory and inched closer to the post season.

Tim Lincecum pitched what could have been his final game as a member of the Giants. He made it a good one, letting up only 2 runs over 7 innings. He did not get the decision but was the star of San Francisco’s 3-2 victory over the arch rival Dodgers.

They all owned baseball on September 26, 2013.

My explanation for “Who Owns Baseball” can be found here.

At the end of the year, we will tally up who owned baseball the most individual days and see how it compares to the final MVP and Cy Young vote.

The Red Sox won the AL East.

I said they were going to stink. I was wrong. And MAN I am glad to eat crow about THAT one. And I do eat crow on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

But the Pirates are making big mistakes, and none bigger than keeping Mark Melancon in the closer role.

The Dodgers earned their NL West title with an amazing second half. Remember they were only a game above .500 after the All Star Break.

Meanwhile the Diamondbacks look like a bunch of whining spineless wimps and I compared them to Sweathog Arnold Horshack.
