Ball Game! Marlins are tied with the Phils! (Braves magic number is 7 now)

woohoo, all tied up again for the wild!

well we're tied, this is good . it makes up for yesterday

Thank you Braves!

Our biggest rival is helping us out.

 

Cool.

Yeah Wild Card, it happens in CF alot.

 

And I take back my comments about MLBTV. I'm watching the Dodgers-DBacks game and it is picture perfect clear.

Cool.

Id say our biggest rival is the team we are tied with. but thats me and im crazy like that.

I'd say they're our biggest rivals this year, but the Braves are our biggest rivals in franchise history, in my opinion.

fair enough

Lets not forget that the Marlins and Muts don't like each other much

DBacks have also taken the lead over the Dodgers who are the next closest team to us & the Phils... (3 back).

I don't think we should concentrate on the teams BEHIND us. Just the one that is obviously most threatning.

WC, I swear if I hear one more comment from you about not worrying about teams behind us, I'm going to send Randall Simon after you.

Why stress over teams that are behind us? If we're going to concentrate on a team, make it the one we're tied with. Not the ones 3 games behind us. It makes sense.

so in your world, as long as we do what the Phillies do, the Dodgers, ONLY 2 GAMES BACK, are no need to worry about?

Almost but not exactly.

 

We won't always do what the Phillies do, see last night for an example. As long as we can win enough to stay in first, and they can't win enough to take first from us (they haven't been in first since I believe June), why worry?
