NLD 62 - Dang Bobby Richardson

Yeaj, well, 12 hour red eye flights from Auckland to SFO will do it do you also!

Ugh, Spider is pulling away with a hot streak.

Unfortunately, the West has not been kind to my team - so the final 27 could be a challenge.

Not sure it's going to matter for us. We can't stop the bleeding.

Speaking of red-eye, I had cataract surgery yesterday and it was much more painful for me than most people say it is, but I can finally stand to look at the monitor for 3-5 minutes to check scores.

I know you need some rest Joe, but hope you can get ratings to us before the league finishes.

Hoping to have some time tomorrow. Maybe it will shed some light on my problems. Most likely we're just not that good.

Ugh, so close to a sweep. Blow a 5-2 lead to Spider in the 8th.

Of course we one game 2 in 13 so I have to be thankful for that.

Keeps us in the race, but barely.

Game 2 was a bummer - JTJ ties it in the top of the 9th, but Drury and Realmuto both hit 2-run HRs to put us ahead in game 3's 8th. So, I had a small measure of relief.

There's a strong chance that the wild card will come out of the Central, so the stretch will be tense in the West and the East, where Nighthawk could catch milleram with a good streak.

All I got so far. No comparison to the actuals at this point

Quick thoughts:
East - Randal is an all hit team so those teams tend to fluctuate and can underperform. Aslo, going -10 in one runners will also do that. Miller would be the favorite. Randal also has a high injury team which causes variations.

Central - Clearly the strongest with Semp and Stoney at the top and steve decent and Big A not terrible.

West - JTJ has the best ratig, but isn't playing that way. ratings would consider Spider and outside shot at the division. Again, not what's happened. Jeep is Meh. KLX has crushed his ratings with all the moves.

I must admit these ratings surprise me a bit---when season started I though my team would rate quite a bit worse. I was expecting lower third.
