BOSTON CLINCHES TIE WITH HOUSTON!

The Boston Red Sox can no longer finish worse than the Houston Astros. Their 10-4 Saturday home win against the Yankees was followed by a bottom of the 9th walk off, 2-outs, 2-run homer by Lucas Duda that handed the Astros a 2-1 loss to the Mets, giving  the New Englanders a full game lead over Houston with each team down to their final season games against the same foes today. The worst the Red Sox can do now is allow a tie by losing on Sunday as the Astros win. A win by the Sox, or a loss by the ‘Stros, in today’s season concluding games prevents even the shortcoming of a tie between last year’s champions and the recently as 2013 111-loss dregs of baseball.

Jose Altuve

THE PECAN PARK EAGLE DAILY MLB 2014 BATTING CROWN EYE:

ALTUVE AND MARTINEZ NOW SEPARATED BY ONLY .OO3 PERCENTAGE POINTS FOR AL AND MLB BATTING TITLES!

NOTES, 9/28 AM: Sunday morning. – Wouldn’t you just know this was coming? Jose Altuve went “0 for 4” on Saturday while Victor Martinez of the Tigers went for “1 for 2” in his team’s 12-3 loss to the Twins. With the final games for each batting title contender coming up today, Altuve’s lead over Martinez has slipped to only .003 points. An unfortunate  repeat of today’s performances could hand the AL and MLB overall batting titles to “Tiger Vic.”

C’mon Jose! – You can still win it all! – All you have to do is hit like Jose’ Altuve in high gear on Sunday!
