They could still be in contention. The point is...with the pitching and a decent closer... you're going to have to manage this team to a couple of victories, and that just isn't going to happen at present. I've stuck with Dusty all through last year, but a lineup without Cedeno and Hairston in it is a WASTE. An absolute WASTE of talent, and a stuborn move. I'm sick of it, it's not enjoyable to watch, and when the idiots at the game who don't know jack about lineup construction can start whining about it, I think it's a problem.
