Chris,

I have to disagree with you on your prediction. Afterall, thre are
130 games left in the regular season, your prediction of 85 and 77
just doesn't make sense with what they have already accomplished. The
club would actually have to have loosing record (.484 to be exact) for
the remainder of the season. I don't think that this team will do
that. Sure they are really hot at the moment and I honestly do think
they will cool off a bit, but I think they will continue to play good
ball and be at or within a game or two of playing .500 for the rest of
the year and still finishing with 90 or more wins and easily walking
away with the central title. The key is all in the starting
rotation. As long as those pitchers stay healthy I think we will have
a genuine shot at seeing some post season games being played at the
Keg this year.
