You don't get to cherry pick the opponents. You ride the bull you draw. The Jays were favorites in Vegas but you can never finish a race until you start.

Two weeks ago you were not interested in the team and you saw nothing worth watching and here you are again.

By the way, you are on the wrong thread.

That's not what I said. I said " Gallo is the only reason to still watch this team".

I haven't completely given up on this team. It looks like Gallo is starting to figure it out and Hamels is pitching like a true ace. Griffin has made losing Darvish not a big deal. I know that sounds crazy, but this team just didn't play well when Darvish pitched. It almost seems like the lineup relaxed too much or " took the night off" when he pitched.

We have 44 games left. 2 back in the wild card. A lot of teams in between us tho.

With that said, we have 4 games with the white Sox, 10 against the A's, and 3 against Atlanta. Those are all bottom feeders. Will we win them all? No, but if we could go 10-7 or 11-6 against those guys that would be pretty good.


We also have games left against the main competition right now The Yankees and angels are in control of the 2 wild card spots. We have a total of 10 games left against those 2 teams.

We also have 6 against the Astros, but we've played decently against them this year.

Let's finish up the sweep and put Detroit out of their misery. We have Hamels going up against Sanchez tonight. Sanchez has an era over 6.00, we should get some runs for sure, but I've seen those guys shut us down before.
Don't flip flop much do you.

Diekman is scheduled to pitch for Frisco tomorrow. That seems like nothing short of a miracle to me.

Win the wildcard matchup and the likely opponent is the Astros.

We are 8-6 with them this year and I'd think we would do better against them then what we did in the ALDS last year.
I think you had better check our record against the Astros again. We are 5-8 against them and when they actually had a reason to beat us we were 3-7 against them.

I got it backwards. I meant to type 6-8, but yea I was off by a game. We still had a few bullpen chokes in there. I was just making the point that they haven't completely dominated us.
