Seriously, stop counting games back and watch the win column.

 

We have won 1 game more than the Phillies, 1 game fewer than the Giants. That's where we really sit.

 

For whoever worried about the Tigers a moment ago, they have won 6 more games than us.

 

+10000000. You can lose more games, you can't win fewer.

Now that Miguel is out of the way, if we're winning games - it literally is happening because of Rodon, Lopey, and Giolito. Hopefully Shields and Holland continue doing exactly what they have been doing. If we don't get the 2nd pick, it's because those 3 pitched well and we wound up winning a game or two. Maybe even got decent bullpen out of Fulmer and Minaya. And if that happens? Basically I'm ok with that.

30 days left

6 runs in the 9th

Shaping up to be a 3-horse race. Hopefully the Indians will be playing for homefield advantage the last weekend.

If I am not mistaken, standings are based on winning %, not just team wins. Soo....yes, I will continue to count both, as both as needed to determine standings, and thus draft order.

You can not win fewer games. You can always lose more. That's what he's saying. That's why it's important.

 

Pay attention to that all you want to, but it will be the last thing you think of when checking whether the Phillies, Giants, and Reds won or lost.

Giants tie up the Cardinals in the 9th, 1-1.

 

Always let your starter finish 1-0 shutout. Always.

Nice comeback!

Giddy up!

Let's go Nola!!

( gave up 3 runs in the 1st.... damn you Nola - damn you!!! )

Archer looks terrible so far. Might be injured.

 

EDIT: yep.

Doubt Phillies pull it off, but they scored 5 runs in the 8th and trail 10-9 now to the Marlins. Bad news is Rhys Hoskins got hit in the wrist by a pitch and left the game. If he's done for the year, then Phillies pretty much have the #1 pick signed, sealed and delivered.

Triple s*** night!!!

Saturday: Phillies lost, Giants won, Sox won, Reds lost, A's lost

Sox need to go 2-6 or worse the rest of the homestand.

 

Lose today, lose 3 of 4 from Cleveland, lose 2 of 3 from San Francisco

I'd bet a crisp one dollar bill the Tigers end up with the 4th pick.

Phillies won. Need ya, Giants.

Sox back at .400 with 27 left.

 

Every 27 this season:

 

15-12

9-18

12-15

5-22

13-14

 

We could use a single digit ending.

Based on first 135 games:

 

1. Phi 51-84

2. SF 53-82

3. Sox 54-81

4. Cin 58-77

5. Oak 58-77

6. Det 58-77

7. NYM 58-77

8. SD 60-75

9. Atl 60-75

10. Tor 62-73

4 losses per week for five weeks. That is my wish.

 

Can't complain. They lost four games.

 

11-16 the rest of the way should lock up 3rd.

Gonna be hard to stack these L's if Rodon/Gio & potentially ReyLo pitching well.

Games like today are good rebuilding wins. Much better than last night's win.

Yeah these are the only games I want on the W side. I don't want Shields to win a game 8-7.

We might catch Detroit, they are really really bad.
