Even when they get enough hitting the pitching isn't there.

Swept the Tigers, now the Astros (fucking finally). have cards up next @ home.

everyones hitting finally. bourjos is out again tho with a broken wrist.

2 of 3 vs cards

up next is the red sox, followed by 2 @ CHC and then 3 @ SEA followed by the ASB.

im hoping they can go 6-2 over the next 8 to go into the ASB 1 game over .500 (5-3 and going in 1 game under .500 still isnt terrible)
If this team keeps playing solid baseball until and then after the ASB, i think they can still win 90-92 games

Winning 90 games based on where they are now will require some insane baseball...thats .630 baseball
Which of course is possible...the A's of last year pulled it off. I think the starting pitching is going to let you guys down though in fairness.

they've been letting us down all season and we still have 41 wins.
it may look like a huge hill to climb but its only 9 more wins than losses. (from 81 wins which is .500 to 90)
they have easily found and damn near invented at least 9 ways to generate 9 losses thusfar, if they are playing good, maybe they can find 9 ways to win (like they did lastnight)

The way you put it is very true -- and definitely very optimistic. It is really only 9 more wins than losses but the problem is that it is harder to be 9 games over .500 when there is less than half of the season left vs. if you had the whole season. (Just mathematically speaking its fact)
But yeah, I never thought of it that way....kinda gives me hope that the shitbag team here in Toronto might pull something similar off :/

cards were 10.5 out of the wildcard with only september to play a couple of seasons ago when they won the WS. anythings possible.

according to my calculations the halos will need to win almost every single series from here on out to accomplish 92+ wins, only series they dont are 4 game splits.
however i didnt calculate in sweeps, for ex, i had these calculations a few weeks ago, and they are only 1 game back of where i placed them to be. a series sweep loss to the pirates was made up by sweeping the tigers and astros (i had them going 2-1 in all 3 of those series).
had them going 2-1 against the cards, am hoping for 2-1 with the sox, 1-1 with cubs and 2-1 against M's to be 1 game under .500 by the ASB. if they sweep the M's or Cubs that doesnt completely dash my hopes if they lose this series against the sox.. and etc.

all mathematically possible as long as i dont over shoot the goal and leave some leeway in for losses to be made up along the way.
