    Everyone who had the Oakland A's and Baltimore Orioles winning 90 games this year, raise your hand.

    I'm still hoping it doesn't happen. Oakland has a ridiculously tough schedule over the next couple weeks. I'm hoping the Angels can take at least three games from them this next series starting tonight.

    The Pirates are going to finish below .500, again. It's the only thing to watching the NL.

    The rest is to see if the Cardinals or Dodgers get the final play-in spot.

    Phillies are now just 4 back with 20 to play. I can taste it at this point.

    The Orioles will win more than 90+ and shit, they may make a run in the playoffs too. They have become the real-life Angels in the Outfield. There is no reason they win any of the games they do.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Rockies play Yankees, Rays, and Red Sox at home next season. That's neat.

    Benny, does Ryan Howard come back in Sept too?

    You serious, Clark? He came back right before the All Star break.

    Given the season he's been having I think it's a fair question.

    He's on pace for 40 HR and 115 RBI over a full season. That's what he does.

    I am serious. Outside of my fantasy team, I'm not as tuned into baseball as I normally would because of the garbage Rockies.

    Wait until you have a positive run differential before you get your hopes up.

    Dodgers/Cards have a 4game series coming up. HUGE. After that:

    DODGERS:
    @ Cinci
    @ Washington
    @ San Diego
    VS. Colorado

    CARDINALS:
    VS. ASTROS
    @ CUBS
    @ ASTROS
    VS. Nationals

    PHILLIES:
    @ Astros
    @ Mets
    VS. Braves
    VS. Nationals
    @ Marlins

    This is the Cardinals spot to lose in my opinion.

    I guess you can't count out the Pirates. But well, I am going to.

    Would certainly root for them, but they've gotten soft as of late. They have an easier schedule with Mets, Astros, and Cubs...

    Translation: they won 102 games last year but were without Utley and Howard for 3 months to start this year (and Halladay for 6 weeks). Since they rejoined the lineup they are an elite team in the NL again.

    Down to 3 games now.

    Howard's been awful so far. I don't see how you can dispute this.

    I'm hoping the Cubs ruin the Cardinals playoff chances. They already put a dent in the Pirates' hopes.

    He produces runs. His ratios are not what you hope for but he does produce. He has a lot of holes in his game and he's paid too much but he is a fearsome power hitter. He's been top 10 in MVP voting the last 6 years. His presence alone is a huge benefit to that lineup. He is also waaayyy better than his replacement.

    My seats were free. You think I'd pay for a sub .500 Red Sox team?

    Hey guys, Miguel Cabrera might actually win the triple crown.

    And Mike Trout has a 10.3 WAR. 14 other position players have done that. All but one are in Hall of Fame (Barry Bonds)

    And Melky Cabrera is going to win a batting title in a season where he was suspended in hilarious fashion for PEDs.

    And the Factory of Sadness known as the Pittsburgh Pirates, after giving their fans hope and joy for 4 months, were found out to still be terrible.

    If Cabrera ties Josh Hamilton in home runs, will he still be considered a triple crown winner?

    Yeah. Yastrzemski tied Killebrew in HR the year he won his.

    e: Joe Medwick did as well.
