Did a little mining this morning, I certainly wish the Cubs looked as old as the Yankees do right now! :lol: BCB If the season ended today, even with their recent hot streak, they would not be in the playoffs. Either way, they are getting old. They're only 0.5 games behind the Red Sox in the AL East (tied in the loss column) and only 2.5 games behind the White Sox in the Wild Card (2 back in the loss column). They're definately not done yet. no, but they are getting old. when was the last time anyone questioned if they would be in the playoffs in late july? I'm surprised we might be talking about the BRAVES back in the postseason, along with the ANGELS! This has been a whacky season. I can only hope the A's hold on, and thats something they aren't used to. They like looking up at teams in the standings and nipping them in the butt...not holding off teams.
