I am not going to give up on the season on April 26.  The team looks really bad, save for its starting pitching; but it is too early to say for sure. 

We are 8.5 games out after just 24 games.  On the bright side, it is a heck of a lot better to be this far out now then in August…

Maybe, just maybe, we can get hot on the road.  I think it is possible.  That is the great thing about sport, the unexpected happens all the time.  With 22 weeks left in the season we would have to pickup just 1 game every 2 weeks and win the division!  You never know.
