Still pissed about yesterday's loss. Should have never happened. I would have loved to have the series victory wrapped up before heading into tomorrow's lefty matchup between Hamels and Paxton.
We didn't pick up any games on Detroit or the Angels, and at the moment Oakland leads in their game. So, looks like everything is staying status quo heading into tomorrow's matchups.
We just have to worry about us. Win 2 out of 3 here on out then we're in unless Oakland does it's ridiculous .800 pct 2 month run again.
Baseball axiom 1: it's totally possible to pick up 1 game per week without going in a historical hot streak like 1995. Which floored me by the way and I have a weird feeling this team could do that and is for a fact far better built for short series playoff baseball.
Seattle could still win the division, but unlike 1995, they have to jump 2 teams not 1. If they can get red hot and the Halo's and A's both take the gas pipe at the same time its possible but still not likely, especially when you wont be gaining ground on both when those 2 teams play each other in September.
Hell I'd be happy for any postseason play at this point, just get in and go from there.
I still think this team is 2 quality bats away from being a WS contender, but baby steps.
Felix deserves to pitch in the post season, the guy has more than earned it by his performance over his career.
