Haha yes, its not out of reach, this team has talent to go on a run like the A's or other teams have. Will it happen? Don't know, all depends on pitching, so far pitching has been the biggest disappointment, except this series.
A tonne of teams in there though, and still a lot of question marks in the rotation...I sound like a broken record but Dickey, Johnson and morrow have to start earning their pay cheque to really get serious.
This so much this, it's why I find this season so frustrating.................This team was not ready in april and it really cost them, now it is going to take a massive battle to get back in contention for a WC birth.
Say what you want, at this point in the season, we are not out of it................Just need the pitchers to pitch like they are capable of. This team has talent.
I said awhile ago he should start full time, I was laughed at... He has a totally different approach and stance, easy, simple swing, he is on everything. he looks like Olerud when he put it all together. He always had talent to be a great hitter and he is really on fire right now.
Sadly it's been the big name pitchers who have let us down all year. Dickey, johnson morrow is they were even close to their norms we would be above .500 and in the hunt.
IF? He might have a pimple next game...guy can never seem to be healthy. Been the biggest disappointment this season IMO. Has electric stuff, but can't stay healthy or put it together. Frustrating because if he does this team would be a lot better.
