In The Nl....The Giants are HOT...(wow, where were they a week ago?)Philly and the Brewers and The Diamond Backs....(87 and 64) wild card is close....I'm going to say Atlanta....they are so good, but unfortunately are behind the Phillies by 12 games. Atlanta is 86 and 65, cards are 82 and 68, Giants 81 and 70 and the Dodgers 74 and 78,

Dodgers beat the Pirates again last night. The SuckO's are 68 and 83.

This is going to be a very exciting play off and world series. The Phillies have good pitching....but can be beat. The brewers can knock them out
of contention with their bats......(thank you google for providing me with updated info this morning)

I know- the Giant's injuries in August plus slumps by the batters that can come through for us, just messed up so much!!!

It is still a long shot for SF to get the wild card birth- we shall see. But, it is still a possibility. Beltran and Sandoval ("cycled" night before last) have both caught fire and my favorite rookie (SS, Crawford) is getting some RBIs along with the big guys. Our pitching continues to be one of the best staffs in the league- so.. who knows. Madison Bumgarner had 2 doubles last night and damn near knocked two hits out of the park against the Rockies. That kid is only 22 and pitches like a veteran and looks like he may very well become a pitcher that can hit.

Yes, the play offs are going to be awesome (even if my guys don't make it). Now, dammit, BoSox get it done!!! Although, I think Detroit is one great team and I can see them going all the way. But, oh will we be seeing some baseball over the next few weeks!

Yes, the Phillies are talented and competitive, yet they can be beat. It seems that the Rays are in battle mode.
