It's going to be a tough job for the Nats to get back into this race. The Mets have 37 games left, the Nats 38. If the Mets even play .500 ball, say 19-18, then the Nats have to go 25-13 to tie, 26-12 to win. Based on what I've seen this season, I don't think the Nats have that kind of run in them. They have to hope that the Mets collapse, something I don't see happening with the pitching staff they have and the schedule left to them. I hope we can get back into it, but I am dubious of catching the Mets. Still, I hope the Nats can make it interesting. -- Al

No worries, it's part of history and part and parcel to being a fan, you have to take the good with the bad; if the Red Sox had managed to win just one of those games, they win the division by 1 game, destroy the Royals and go on to beat the Dodgers in the WS, but they didn't, the MFY's won them all and they ended up tied, setting the stage for Bucky @#$%ing Dent to hit that 301 foot wind blown pop up that bounced off the top of the green monster and he's been milking it ever since.............you know, the one where Louis almost fell off his three speed bicycle with the banana seat, the horn, the bell and the basket on the front off it while he celebrated..............

Yankees may be in trouble. They lost 2 out of 3 at home and haven't been hitting; Arod has slowed down: after all he is 40 years old, hadn't played over a year and has had a couple of hip surgeries. Texeira has been hurt as well. Team has gone into a collective slump.
They're heading to Atlanta. Maybe they will get well there.
The over under at the beginning of the year was around 85. It might turn out that way.

Too bad about Ariod, he's something like 7 for his last 60; like you said, he's on the wrong side of 40 and the wear and tear of a 162 game season takes it's toll.
Same for horseface, but don't worry there Michael, the corpse of Adrian Beltran has what, 13 home runs, most of them 200 foot shots down the right field line at Williamsport East.
Also, Sherman Klump might be done for the year, when it rains, it poors.............(or is it poars, can never get those two right and I'm too lazy to google it)........................

Giants win to keep pace with the Dodgers. Peavy looked solid, that guy is one major competitor.
Ain't that the truth. He's impressed me from the start. The thing I really like is that he never walks anyone. Last night's 2 walks was unusual. He has given up more Hr's (22) than he has walks (20) in his 152 innings. -- Al

He's been very uneven since May: one good start, one bad start. He was true to form last night. I'm sure that next year he will help someone else (no room for him here next year as they are projected to have Matz and Wheeler in addition to the other four, unless there is a trade).
That's baseball but his 11 victories and the veteran influence on the young starters are the foundation of the Mets success this season. He has been an innings eater and goes out to the mound for every turn. He is a good example for the rest of the staff. -- Al
O's got a BIG win against KC last night. Chen gave them a QS and got the win in breaking the O's losing streak. Even so, all they did was maintain position, 8 games back of the Jays. Chen has now started 25 games this year and allowed 3 or fewer runs in 23 of them, tied for tops in the majors with Greinke and Cole. Hard to believe he only has 8 wins. Another big game this afternoon against KC. -- Al

By the looks of things, that's not the only thing he's been eating......................

He is an ace and one of the top five pitchers in baseball right now.
Yep. Bums and Arrieta lead the majors with 16 wins each. They are both 16-6. Greinke threw 7 shutout innings in winning his 14th today. Cy Young has a tough choice to make this year. -- Al
True. On numbers alone, it's Greinke and Arrieta in the NL, and Gray and Keuchal in the AL, as things stand now. Greinke's numbers are all so low that it will be tough to pick against him. Arrieta is having a breakout year and taking the Cubs with him. Gray and Kuechal's numbers are very similar so that may actually come down to wins, plus Keuchal has the advantage of leading a team into the playoffs, whereas Gray's Athletics are in last place. Tough choices. -- Al
