That takes skill.

No kidding.
Wow, a game out of second in the east, I'll take it even with the losing record.
Wow, with a minus freaking 10 pythag I sneak into the playoffs. Fortunately for me Faura showed his pose and shut down the surprising Diamondbacks. Periera probably goes game 1 for me then sets up Alexander for 2 and 5.
My strength:
# TOP 10 ERA ERA
1 G. Alexander (LAN) 1.93
2 V. Faura (LAN) 2.22
3 G. Rieger (ATL) 2.28
4 B. McLaren (PHI) 2.71
5 S. Pereira (LAN) 2.82
Batting AVG: .263 (17th)
Homeruns: 147 (10th)
Walks: 555 (3rd)
Stolen Bases: 102 (22nd)
Runs Scored: 754 (15th)
Pitching ERA: 3.28 (1st)
Opponents AVG: .254 (6th)
HRs Allowed: 74 (1st)
Walks Allowed: 331 (1st)
Runs Allowed: 621 (1st)
My team will go as far as my pitching carries me.
Picks 3 and 18. I'll take it.
Hopefully there's something sexy in the draft.
... Fuck Atlanta...
Best offseason move of the year?
SP Brian McLaren 20-4, 2.71 ERA, 248.2 IP, 0.96 WHIP
He went from 83-77, and an ERA over 4, to 103-81, and an ERA under 3.9
Another 100+ win season for Seattle without a Division title. 5 times Seattle has won 100+ game w/o a division title in league history.
Porter was bored and looked at the Dodgers rotation.
In September....
Alexander 6-0 1.31 ERA
Faura 3-1 1.17 ERA
Periera 4-0 1.01 ERA
Combined: 13-1 1.17 ERA. They walked 21 batters in 138.2 innings. They k'd 119 batters combined. Is there a hotter trio in baseball right now? Can they possibly keep that up for 11 more wins?
To put that in perspective...
Early Wynn walked 17 batters in 28 IP
The Braves sneak out another division title and 100 win season...
If the bats will only perform to their talent and if the pitching continues to be the second best in the league, who knows what can happen?? Maybe another very good playoff run for me as a wedding present from the league?? ;)
Molina, we want a Phillies-Braves NLCS. I want my revenge!!! lol
7 wins down Faura's cooled off but Periera and Alexander have just continued to be absolutely sick.
