The bj part was over the line, but you have to admit it is kinda funny 🙂

Yep, the outlook is looking good for the Reds to make the playoffs.
There is still a heartbeat for St.L, but it is certainly a faint one.

Heartbeat? No, that is me tapping my foot. It's over spanky. Your karma seems to be on vacation.

No, the Reds look like they will make the playoffs, but the jury is out on how far they
will progress. I do not believe they will make it out of the National League...and
depending on who they draw in the playoffs as an opponent...they may not make it
past the first round. We shall see.

We're 2 1/2 behind the Nats for top seed, 3 in the loss column and they have the tiebreaker. It seems unlikely we'll overtake them for 1st seed so our first round opponent will probably be the Giants who have opened up a 7 game lead in the West.

The team no one in the NL is anxious to see in the playoffs would be the Phillies who are surging and are now only 3 out of the second wild card.

I'll just be happy to see them one a playoff game or two. That has not happened since like 1990.

I love the fact that the Dodgers are collapsing after having traded for every washed up big name and his brother.

Whodey, pay attention: You CAN'T BUY wins in baseball.

George Steinbrenner has proven that to be false for several years.
You just have to know what you are buying is the right part.

What the Yankees have proven is that if you have a lot of $$ and spend it well, you can win. What the Dodgers and Red Sox are proving is that spending $$ doesn't guarantee anything.

And the Baltimore Orioles are proving that run differential at the All-Star break or even beyond doesn't have much predictive value.

I merely rebutted your comment Whodey, pay attention: You CAN'T BUY wins in baseball.

I didn't notice that you excepted anyone from your argument.

By in large you can buy a path to the playoffs. It does not always work but on average it does.

Okay, I'll rephrase:

You can't buy a guarantee of wins in baseball.

I will tally up my data at the end of the year and present it.

Trust me, the more money you throw in the better off you are on average.
