At one point this month, there was a 5 way tie for the CL Wildcard lead. Also Boston led the RL outright for a bit before a late month drop off.

Tasan · 11-14-2008, 09:41 PM

Well I hope he decides to stick around. Ramz, you hear that? RL BoD rep wants you to stay!

Alan T · 11-14-2008, 09:42 PM

It is also now the mid-season mark. As normal, if anyone has 1 player they would like to ask about, to see how they are doing this season.. post it now. Please keep it only to one player so we don't take forever here.

Brian Newell, SP

In other news, isn't Carlos Romero yet another shining former Panther/Highlander?

Last chance for any player checkups before I get going with the second half of the season. Getting a drink real quick.

TimGuru · 11-14-2008, 09:46 PM

Thanks Alan. I guess Newell was indeed ready for the Show despite my misgivings and his spring.

No, I was predicting my usual sub-.500 June putting me into 5th. And I was right!

At this point, I think I'm safely out of the WC hunt. July usually sucks for me, too. I'm not sure why. It just does.

Alan T · 11-14-2008, 09:49 PM

Kicking off the second half of the season. It seems that all four playoff spots are still up for grabs.

allpro10050 · 11-14-2008, 09:50 PM

please o please let there be good starting pitching in the next draft

brittdad · 11-14-2008, 09:50 PM

Im only 5 starters away

TimGuru · 11-14-2008, 09:51 PM

Wyoming probably wants to know about popcorn sales, or whether the entire fired marketing department has prevailed in their wrongful termination suit. The Wyoming Scrooge McDucks.

Young Drachma · 11-14-2008, 09:51 PM

Hmm...I dunno. I guess I'm cautiously optimistic about what happens. I knew San Diego (and obviously, Hartford) would cause me problems. I still say we're probably a year away. But...I hope we can keep it close for as long as possible.

That said, I'm curious to hear how Long Island explains this year's standings...

brittdad · 11-14-2008, 09:54 PM

I am quickly scheduling bobble head nights and post game concerts

Alan T · 11-14-2008, 09:55 PM

July 29th, 1984: Steven McGill (Hartford) goes 2 for 4 in a 4-3 win over Columbus for the 29th consecutive game in a row with a hit. This breaks Ed Wilson's (formerly of Gary/Valdosta) 23 year old record for most games in a row with a hit.

As of August 1st, McGill has reached 31 games in a row with a hit and is still counting.

Has to be the stratagy at this point considering in the past 5 years the team has not performed above expectations once and are -18 games under expectations in that time period.

Tasan · 11-14-2008, 09:57 PM

ehem

I hate Hartford.

kaosfere · 11-14-2008, 10:02 PM

Awesome. 10-19 that month!

Now I have a surge in August to pull me just above .500 and cling on to it barely through September.

Young Drachma · 11-14-2008, 10:02 PM

I predict that there will be an unlikely team to make the CLCS. In the RL...at least San Diego hasn't pulled away.

TimGuru · 11-14-2008, 10:03 PM

With 39 games to play I have exceeded the past 3 years' win total.

I'm just sorry Chief wasn't able to be here to share it with me.

Tasan · 11-14-2008, 10:04 PM

Colorado peeking out from behind the curtains there. Don't expect that to be the case next year. We should be up at the front, enjoying the view for once.

Young Drachma · 11-14-2008, 10:04 PM

Wyoming made a smart move by spending little to nothing. Next year's free agent class is a real bounty.

brittdad · 11-14-2008, 10:05 PM

Now if I can just draft correctly, we will be on the way up

Alan T · 11-14-2008, 10:06 PM

August 1st, 1984: Ann Arbor halts Steven McGill's record hit streak at 31 games when he went 0 for 5 in a 4-2 loss vs the Wolverines.

August 21st, 1984: Roberto Pagan (Wyoming) gets his 2500th hit of his career in a 10-3 loss to Napa Valley

August 31st, 1984: Joey Higman (Baltimore) reaches the 2000 hit mark in a 2-1 win over Toronto.

brittdad · 11-14-2008, 10:09 PM

New York papers reporting record free agent contract offer today to sabbathia by Yanks, equally large offers to Burnett and Lowe to follow tomorrow (sorry if off topic, just passing time).

Young Drachma · 11-14-2008, 10:10 PM

Did Christian Larsen get his 3000th hit yet?!

Ann Arbor Wolverines	55	89	.382	37.0	
Chicago Black Sox	54	90	.375	38.0

It seems most of the suspense of who will be making the playoffs is gone. The main races left are to see which team will have home field advantage in each league championship series.

Hartford and Baltimore both have a magic number of 10 to win their respective league regular season titles. Both have a magic number of 2 to make the playoffs period.

Atlanta and San Diego both have a magic number of 3 to make the playoffs.

Young Drachma · 11-14-2008, 10:11 PM

Oh well. At least maybe Hartford won't win outright. So much for suspense, I guess.

He only has 13 hits in 47 at bats this season and is stalled at 2978 for his career.

City of Boston will have to wait another year for a title to potentially show up. Oh well. At least we had a winning season again...and I knew it'd be another year.

TimGuru · 11-14-2008, 10:14 PM

Looks like I need a 10 game series against Wyoming to close out the season.

Young Drachma · 11-14-2008, 10:15 PM

Means that we have a 3 out of 4 chance of one owner claiming his 3rd FOOL championship this year if the numbers hold up.

TimGuru · 11-14-2008, 10:15 PM

Or alternately, DC and I humbly petition to continue playoff expansion, 3 make it from each league this year, 4 next year etc.
