:goodposting:
6 games separate, it's not much of a stretch.The poll is flawed. Not so much because of wilked's agruement. But because right nowSeattle is the wild card leader.
by their exclusion, perhaps I am indicating they have the inside track?
That makes about as much sense as a one legged man in an #### kicking contest.
 
The Yankees realistically have a 10% chance at the division, and about a 50% chance at the WC.

Seattle is no more than a 1/8 shot for the Wild Card.

Tigers and Indians are both hovering between 50% and 2/3 of a shot at the playoffs.

You pretty much have to vote for the Tigers right now. They are miserable.
They just have a lot of injuries. If/when they get their guys back, they'll pull away in the Central.
You're blaming this stretch on Andy Miller and Kenny Rogers being injured? :popcorn: Are you also saying Sheffield is playing hurt along with some others?
I think he might be alluding to Zumaya, Rodney, and Rogers being out most of the year and Miller, Thames, Robertson, and Bonderman all spending time on the DL. But more importantly...above all other discussions...the loss of Neifi Perez has crippled the franchise.

I gotta agree with what everyone else is saying...Detroit won't see the postseason. Their late season fortitude is beginning to emerge into a pattern

 
Yankees don't have the pitching to keep up with these 2 teams.

Neifi only crippled them because he isn't supplying the other players any more.

Apologies to Mariners fans...
Flawed...no Red Sox Option?
You think the Red Sox are going to MISS the playoffs? :unsure: :own3d: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
The Red Sox are only three games better in the loss column than the current AL wild card team, so if the Yankees overtake Boston in the AL East, the Red Sox missing the playoffs is a very real possibility.
how many if's are in that sentence?exactly...
