4.5 games behind COL

COL has to come back down to earth a little.

I have to get ready for work (and I'm lazy) but it would be cool to see some Strength of Schedule stuff for COL. SFO, FLA and ATL for the remainder.

except that they don't

they got Cook coming back soon, and even will have Jason Giambi coming off their bench (could be worse)

Where We Stand going into the Padres series
4.5 back of the Wild Card (3rd place) [+0.5 game, +1 place]
7.0 back of the Division (2nd place) [+0.5 game, +1 place]
21-16 since the All Star Break
13-11 in the Nick Johnson Era

Remaining Homestand
3 vs San Diego (3-0 on season; 0-0 at home)
4 vs Atlanta (6-5 on season; 2-3 at home)

This series is pretty make or break for us, considering the other four teams in the race are playing each other.

[Fish and Chips]

great time to gain ground

[Jewbility]

San Fran could really help us out

[Beef]

We can really fuck ourselves

[MiamiHomer]

San Fran could really help us out

Can they let us borrow Matt Cain and Timmy?

[FishFanInPA]

I think it's almost time to close this thread.

[Jewbility]

huh?

[Fish and Chips]

right now im be happy if the marlins finished 2nd in the division with 85wins+. I know that means nothing in the great scheme of things. But it would be cool.

[Jewbility]

If Nick Johnson comes back like in a week (doubtful), I think we can make one last push. It's very improbable at this piont, but there's certainly enough time to get one last hot streak
