how good can they be...they got swept by the red sox??? maybe something else that you may hear from tmac and tin.....
Fact of the matter is that it is a looooong season and there are ups and downs and baseball is a game of averages that come out over a large body of work.....That is why i love it because a .300 hitter who starts off hitting .200 usually will pan out whereas a guy hitting .330 for the beginning (a la mike lowell) will settle in to what type of hitter he really is....like a .275ish type guy.....That is why i do not take hair trigger responses in baseball seriously.....
the mets have as good a chance as anybody and this time of the year sometimes is matchups and who gets on a roll at the right time....

Last season the White Sox almost lost their division lead. In early September they lost 4 straight, 6 of 7 and 10 of 14. Including losing 3 games vs the Royals. Yet, amazing they still won the world series.
Baseball unlike the other sports is based on streaks. Teams are never as good as they look and they are never as bad as they look.
When the Mets were swept by the Red Sox they were in the middle of a slump. Prior to the Sox series they lost 6 of 10. After the Sox series they dropped 3 of 4. It happens. It happens to the best teams. Even the shitty teams get hot. Ask Griswold. He's an expert on catching streaking teams.

Man we cant seem to lose......enjoy it while it lasts I say because we are due for a rough stretch at some point
5-10 maybe? 7-13.......something of that sorts.....it has to happen.....impossible to play this well for 162 games
PEACE
We are in a shit stretch of games......A real shit stretch but we still have a decent lead (4.5 games with 28 left)..........If we can somehow just finish at 16-12 we should be OK especially if we handle the twins and w sox. Tigers will be fine IMO.......Im expecting a huge September from the likes of Bonderman and Maggs

Originally posted by frankb03The scary thing for the Tigers they not only risk losing the division lead but dropping out of the playoffs. It'll be interesting down the stretch.
For the Tigers to actually miss the playoffs they would have to go something like 10-18 and if that happens they deserve to stay home at 93-69
