varaven45 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Yep Max and playing .500 ball. If we win 80 ball games it will exceed all my expectations for a team without a bonafide infield (sans maybe Hardy) and a solid pitching rotation. All things considered, this team has vastly overachieved. Who knows ; in a couple years we might be viable?
Spen Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Barring a major collapse this season I see no reason why we could not expect an even better season next year. Admittedly its all guesswork, who knows what we will do in the off season or what anyone else will do but if this is a few games on either side of 500 at the end of the season I'll be cautiously optimistic for next.
cravnravn Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 2 Wild Card Spots, we are in contention for one of them, and kicking the Spanks Ass these last two series has been oh so sweet..

Crav, I think that Florida drinking water is getting to you my man ! I know, I was just down at New Smyrna Bwach and Cocoa Beach
cravnravn Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Dam Va you should have let me know New Smyrna Beach is my back yard..Hell I was there today for a few hours, had a couple of chillys, found some sea shells, got a job interview for tomorrow, AND put a contract on a home... And I do not drink the water down here, way too strong smell of chlorine.
varaven45 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Dang Crav , should have looked you up done there. My brother lives in New Smyrna and I usually see him a few times a year. I'll let you know next time I'm down. Meanwhile, stay away from that water !
cravnravn Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah do that we live in deltona up rte 44 left in rte 415. It takes us 25 minutes to get to flagler av
cravnravn Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Baltimore finds itself in the playoff hunt despite the defeat, and it's above .500 this late in a season for the first time since it was 60-60 on Aug. 17, 2005. "It's fun to be playing games at this point in the year," said center fielder Adam Jones, whose next home run will give him a career high-tying 25 and 100 for his career. "It's my fifth year here, and it's the first time in August that the games really do matter. It's fun, and it's important." Big Series in Tampa starting tonight, and my popcorn is ready!!!! 3 way tie tween us Tampa and Detroit,for that last playoff spot,BIG Series starting tonight.
BengalBilly Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I don't want to rub it in too far, but my Reds continue their march to the playoffs. After tonights SHUTOUT win over the also hot Pirates, Cincy rolls to a 65 win, 41 loss, .613 percentage record. The best in baseball! Aroldis Chapman just continues to close out game after game!
dc. Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Reynolds had an awful night at the plate... swinging at junk and watching perfectly clean fastballs go by. But then again, the entire team went 0-6 with RISP. That's us!
papasmurfbell Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I watched Reynolds in the 1st and the 8th look clueless at the plate. He is pathetic.
cravnravn Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Thats 8th inning at bat, if I could have driven to Tampa quickly, I'd booed his ass..swings at junk and takes two pitches that were beach balls.
cravnravn Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Its going to be sweet not to see that dumb ass closer Gerimino looking SOB for Tampa do his bow and arrow BS...
cravnravn Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Why in the hell would you take Chen out after 7 innings, 100 pitches?? They bring in Stroop and he has two on.
cravnravn Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner And to rub it in, the Spanks also got shut out
Spen Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Good win, tomorrow is a big game. Chen was on tonight. Strop had me worried but not too much. He had good stuff.
cravnravn Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 This is cool. Today at Tampa. It is bring your best friend day. The stadium is filled with mans best friend...dogs
Spen Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 It really was. Two straight series wins against division opponents.
cravnravn Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Two straight shutouts against the team you are tied with for a playoff spot...HUGE STATEMENT
cravnravn Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 1/2 game out of the wildcard, most importantly the Spankees are pulling a Baltimore..5.5 out of first place!!!
