I know what you are saying 82, but there are too many variables and too many games left. As Yogi said, "it ain’t over till it’s over". While I'm at it, my favorite "You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."


I feel pretty certain that if we lose 3 games or all 4 against the Reds, the wildcard is gone and we can only hope for a miracle to win the west. As I mentioned somewhere else, we have 7 games left against the Dodgers. So, if after lost 3 or 4 against the Reds, IF the Dodgers don't get back on another historical win parade, and IF we can somehow win more than we lose, than yes - those 7 games will be the determining factor...
All that said, I go back to my original view which is, if we lose 3 or 4 against the Reds, the season is over...

The race is on for real. Time to heat up or give up. We need 3 of 4 here.

Good pitcher's matchup today.

Cingrani has had trouble going past the 5th or 6th inning. We need to get to him early. Corbin did not have his best game last outing, but he has been steady all year and is very capable of going deep into the game. We need it in the worst way.

Maybe Yogi knew more than we give him credit for.

If you go to other peoples' funerals, other people will see it and come to yours. (OK, I moved the apostrophe over a notch, but Yogi didn't speak punctuation.) :D

It's funny to think that Corbin was basically a filler in the Haren trade and Skaggs was the prize.

Whoops.

Awesome win yesterday. Not feeling too confident with BP McCarthy and Hot Fudge Cahill on the mound the next two.

Can always count on McCarthy to put us in our familiar position of being behind after the first inning! :bang:

For a guy who was just released from a POW camp Carpenter is not pitching that bad.

I take it back... :(

Can we up his rations? Maybe Cahill is stealing all his food.

McCarthy has been and continues to be - pathetic... A massive hole in our starting rotation... :mad:
