Is it just me, or does anyone else think we are still maybe in this thing a little bit? Lot of experience and leadership on this team now. AJ, Bourn, Swisher, Gomes, Freeman, Markakis, Shelby Miller. There's a lot of guys who have been there done that. If the pitching solidifies over the last month and a half and we continue to hit like we have (I believe we have 68 hits through 6 games of the 7 game home stand), we've got a chance at this thing. Guys are starting to hit consistently now. Markakis and AJ have hitting streaks in the teens, Garcia is heating up, hopefully Olivera joins the team in the next couple of weeks.

We've got 7 more each against the Nats and Mets and are only 8.5 out of the division. If our pitching can come together here I think we've got enough horses to at least make a game of it or ruin someone else's playoff chances. I kind of like this team right now and they are way more fun to watch than last year's team.
