NLD 57 - Yo hon, it's a Johan NLD

LOL. That's bad luck, getting swept in our park. We hit only five HRs and four were solos. We're not going to win doing that.

He rolled 7 straight times on his card in the 9th to score 4 runs off of Williams and Mayers in game 2. And it could have been worse, he got a guy gunned at the plate.

Two more one run losses. We were getting close to .500. I figure we need to end up at .500 to make the playoffs and we're -4 now.

To top it off, we lost D'arnaud and Grossman for 8 games each. The former will be back for the last series, the latter will make only the last game. I know Randal is missing Acuna and Hawk is missing Nido so I'm not the only one.

Ugh. It looked so promising, but gonna be tough. I know, cry me a river. We had to get some breaks to win 10 in a row, but losing six in a row is pretty tough at this point in the season.

I think we HAVE to win the next series against Stoney who's a game back. These are our last 3 at home. We finish with six on the road.

Okay, during divisional play, Mowglis won 10 in a row, Phanatics won 8 in a row and 11 out of 13.

In all fairness, HAL should allow Hawk and I to start a winning streak to the end (of course AFTER tonight for Hawk!)

That is the fair way to do it.

Since when is Hal EVER fair?

Eh, we're toast. Lost two at home tonight. One by one run in extras. Tying run is throw out at the plate in extras on a 70% safe roll. We left the winning run at second in the 8th through the 11th inning. That's a killer. Of course, he left guys in scoring position in the 9th and 10th so....

Then Azolay and J. Rodriguez out pitch Maeda in game 3. We managed all of one hit against Meh pitching. Such is SOM. Hurts not having D'Arnaud and Grossman for sure.

Outscored Stoney for the series, but lost two. Story of the season, our Pythag has us with 7 extra wins. Typical SOM you win the lousy pitching matchup: Burnes v Marquez and lose the good one Alozay v Maeda.

Don't have the tie breaker with Stoney and will have to win 2 in Hawk's place to get it against him. Of course, if we're going to make the Playoffs, winning two is probably required.

Ugh. Sucky night.

There another exciting race to see who gets the final spot in the East for NLD 58. I won that race last season.

The Central is tight. It's been a roller coaster for Semper and me all season, but Toshiro is right there tied for 2nd. Probably going down to the last day in this Division as well.

I just wanted Jeep to feel like he had to fight for it. I don't actually want to win

The amazing thing is one of those guys "fighting for the last East spot" will end up in the East --- and one could very well end up in the West, making the playoffs. That Central division is tight as well!!

For the West, Phanatics and Mowglis are definitely in the driver's seat. I may have tiebreakers vs. Phanatics and Hawks, but don't think that will make a difference. Even if I win all of my last 6, still could be on the outside looking in.

All this stress of the race is likely just going to get me the 8th pick next season.

Btw Jeep, is it about time for another Iron Glove league?

Love a pennant race! Now if only the Phillies could go on another win streak!
