varaven45 Posted August 2, 2012 Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted August 2, 2012 Share 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 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) 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 Share 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 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cravnravn Posted August 4, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
