This team has been a .500 team since the beginning of June. A lot of folks want to point at just the bullpen but there have been many times they have faced starting pitchers with an ERA north of 4 that either shut them out or held them to a run or two. My point is it has been a joint effort. Also I agree with Lou Merloni's takes on Farrell that he's just not good at in-game stuff. I think they can and will get into the playoffs but I don't see them getting far as constituted.
The only hope for them to do any damage in the post season is if they get white hot going in. I am just being realistic. As always since 1972 or so I am rooting for them to win it all.
