Elimination Fever!

[FishHack76]

Call me crazy (and you wouldn't be the first), but I love the elimination number on the MLB.com standings. I always love seeing those E's. It's weird, I know, but it's like a finality to a team's season. It's really over. They're done for.

So I figured we could all join in the fun and continue the elimination countdown.

Kudos to the Pirates for sticking in there for this long. Who knew it was possible?

Well, they do play in the NL Central, but they have played well since the All-Star Break.

I don't know about you fine folks, but I'm rooting for the Nationals. The wild-card hopes are burning bright in D.C.

For the Rockies to still be in the hunt at all is great. They get the Dodgers and Padres this week so I figured I should write this post now!

Only in America, I mean, the NL Central, could Cincinnati still be alive. God bless the Central.

With the Twins finally eliminated from all contention, I guess I'll just root for a .500 season.

[friend of a friend]

Could we eliminate the word "both" from these updates? Eliminated from division and wild card suffices.

Sorry, pet peeve of mine.

Can't wait until Detroit moves into the eliminated column! [indiansfanboy]

 

[friend of a friend]

Thanks, FishHack.

Colorado's fate in the NL West will be decided head-to-head. They just polished off a four-game sweep of the Dodgers, but they now play three at San Diego, followed by three in Los Angeles and three at home against Arizona.

Great scheduling MLB! (That is a compliment, by the way, no blue font here)
