I am really enjoying the ride this season.  I picked the team to earn the second Wild Card but considering all the major pitching injuries this is a definite surprise for me.  Ten games the next eleven days (seven with NYY, winning the first, sandwiched around three @TB).  A 7-3 record through that stretch could all but put the division away.  I still think there are several teams in the NL that are superior to the AL teams but I am starting to get excited about the pennant chances.

It's been fun cheering for a team that doesn't seem to know the word "quit".

 

Wow has it, especially after two years of teams that seemed to only know that word.

 

That last two nights have been more fun that the 20-4.  Wow.  Watching the Rays now, down 4-3, chance to extend farther.

 

Next eight we see two @NYY, three @TB, and three v. NYY.  Could all but put this thing away with a nice little 6-2 here.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
