Still Coming

The war will be anyone trying to stop the Yankees in the post season. Incredible play without Cano, Matsui, and Sheffield. Cano to be back within two weeks, Matsui in August, and Sheffield due Spetember 1st. If the Ynaks are only half a game behind Boston now who the hell is going to stop them when those three guys get back? Forget it, I will tell you right now, Yankees are world series bound.

YANKEES are playoff bound.I do think they will do that.After that? They should be winning rings left n' right with 2x the money spent as anybody else.The question is how are they not winning rings ?

Halos 1/2 game back.It's been beautiful team baseball.

Yankees and Boston win again. Yanks still a 1/2 game out(equal in the loss column) and now Boston and Yanks close in another half game on the WHite Sox. Boston looks like they are in trouble losing Wakefield. Yankees continue winning despite Arods 3 errors and missing three key starters. If ARod ever pulls hiss head out of his ass and the Yanks get back a couple of those injured guys they will challenge Detroit by years end for best record in the American League.
In the NL it looks as if Buffy's prediction that the Braves would rally to make the playoffs might not be so far fetched. Looks to me that once the pressure was off of them with everyone believing that they were done that they started just playing baseball like kids in a sandlot, no pressure will do that to you. Funny thing happened after that, they started realizing that they could play this game and now are on a tear like I haven't seen in a while. The Mets might start to hear footsteps in September.

even though I've been well-trained to adore boston come what may...I have to say that no team knows how to choke like they do...every year it seems they start so strong and then just tail off and screw up...

Mike-

As much as I would love to see the Braves catch the Mets or at least make a race out of it, I think thats a huge longshot. I mean like 100/1. Mets have them by 11.5 and the 2 teams only play each other head to head 9 more times this year. Being realistic, the best the Braves could do is win 7 of 9 and that would only gain them 5 games on the Mets. That would leave 6.5 games they would still have to make up and considering they both play very similar schedules the rest of the year, I doubt very much the Braves are good enough to better the Mets by 6.5 games against rival teams.

Obvioulsy the Braves have a better shot at making the playoffs through a wildcard, but even that I think is very much a longshot. They would have to pass 7 teams, not to mention there are 3 teams behind them within 2 games of them.

I dont see it happening and if I was betting that the Braves will make the playoffs, I would demand at least 50/1.

3 errors/1 game ???...Sometimes he does look like he should just be driving that big Pepsi Truck.
