    I guess what I'm saying is that Toronto's also got such a soft schedule that I think they'll pass Houston. I think it's more likely for the M's to catch the 'Stros than the Jays.

    Of course, passing both would be nice too...

    Ah gotcha. Yeah I only know the Mariners SoS. If Houston can fuck all the way off and miss the playoffs god that'd be glorious, but I'm doubting it.

    Julio is balling right now. When JP comes back do you leave Julio leading off?

    nah JP is such a natural lead off guy. JP/France/Julio. Julio at 3 just because of the OBP of the others. I know France has sucked most of the year, but Julio going to Geno seems real nice. Though France has done a great job 5th and 6th. Just need high OBP guys in front of Julio.

    But that series was nuts. 9 hits in 2 games is absurd.

    Idk but they almost lost to the Royals yesterday and that would have really sucked. Could have been the difference with how close it is.

    Baseball sucks. I can’t believe it… Like 6 teams make the playoffs and if you have a .580 record you can lose your spot to .520 record because they lead their division? Is this a misnomer?

    Idk if that’s accurate. Everything is exaggerated when I’m hating on baseball.

    There's 6 wild card spots. So 12 teams make it total. And yes it does happen. We call it the AL central lol

    Check my math please, but is Julio 11 for his last 12? (4-5, 5-5, and now 2-2)

    But we got the win, and we are in the 3rd wild card spots.

    Julio is the fucking man

    went I went to the game on Sunday I realized that I need a jersey of his. Or at least a t shirt jersey which is more my style (economically). Damn near everyone had one lol

    He's built different. Best player we've had since Griffey and theres not really an argument. Especially in the way he carries himself.

    We dont have Castillo or Gilbert going this series but if we can win it, then yes. ALSO, next win we get against the astros give us the tie-breaker.
