We stayed in contention for almost 4 months this season. In retrospect, that’s better than any of us would have expected. Actually the same thing kinda' happened last year. We got very close to .500 in the early part of July and then complete collapsed the last three months. I'm still hoping for a .500 or better season but if we're not in contention then there's probably little hope for bringing in any help unless it's from within. I'm to the point now that let's just see what some of our better minor league guys can do. Can't be much worse.

We may become sellers, but the way these guys have been playing we ought to be givers. I hope not! We're still only 2.5 back with the Phillies loss tonight but we need to go on a hot streak after the Dodgers leave town. That's very possible with the schedule IF we can start clicking and get some confidence back. Just need something to turn it around!

Marlins have bases loaded with NO outs in the bottom of the 10th! Still tied 1-1.

Nats announcers in complete silence as Realmuto's blooper falls about a foot fair.

Sam used to be a pretty effective pitcher. Maybe he needs to go on the fake DL for a while.

Chip or Joe made a comment earlier tonight that Snitker said he was thinking about using Freeman is some low leverage situations to get him back in the swing of things.
So he brings him into a 3-1 game in the 9th inning.

Speaking of our crack announcers, this exchange in the top of the 9th as the Dodgers rallied:
Skip: "Well if you're looking for a positive, at least the Braves won't have to face Jansen tonight, with it not being a save situation."
Joe: "Yeah, they can save him for tomorrow."
That's one heck of a great break for us, wahoooooo!!!
