NL Central Race Heats Up

Well Tim, the battle for mediocracy continues into the stretch run. The Cards currently lead the division by .0004 winning percentage. What's that, a 1/25th game lead? smile.gif

My early call is the Cards will be back in front in a week based on scheduling. But if you don't close the deal right now, I like the Reds chances of taking the central. I think the Cards have better pitching, but the Reds appear hungrier.

Reds play the next 9 on the road vs contending teams SF, LA, SD

Cards play the next 9 at home vs CHC, FLA, PIT. Probably non-contending teams, now that the Cubs traded away Nefster P, "The Bunt King". Now isn't this a lot more fun than winning the division by 15 games Tim?

Go Cubbies, my favorite team this weekend!

Wow Tim, sounds like your frustrated with them. Reds have broken my heart many times, and they will probably do it again, but I just can't give up on them as long as they appear to be trying to win.

"Actually I am feeling a bit better spinner as my Browns topped the Bills 20-17"

Turning to the Cleveland Browns preseason schedule to raise your spirits? This could be far most desperate than I thought. We're here for you Tim. grin.gif

LMFAO! Spinner just saying that pleading my (Contact Us Please) off and dying after every pitch and lack of clutch perfomances and the team just not showing any life what - so- ever has gotten me mad.gif Walt Jockety as well as he said there were 2 or 3 Cardinals underperforming and unfortunately I know all 3 Edmonds, Isringhausen, Molina and I would mention Mulder as well. Well, I'm sticking with the reverse psychology so here it goes... I hope the Cards get there but kicked today mad.gif

Spinner,

Your Reds are keeping it interesting, but don't go buying any playoff tix while in the ME.

Tim,

You asked me to have them lay down, and so far they have. My only salvation has been watching the WSox slide into 3rd behind the Twins. Terrible to say, but this year I'm having more fun rooting against the Wsox than for the Cubs - pathetic!

So now you don't honestly believe that such a "powerful" lineup like the Cubs' (1 run in 2 games) can actually win the final of the series today, do you? And by the way, looks to me like it is the Mets' year, so don't blame Walt J - don't think there's anything he can do about that for the Cards.

I know exactly what you're saying Tim. The Reds nor the Cards deserve to play in October. I get aggravated with the Reds too. Griffey just watched a strike three pitch in the dirt sail past the catcher. Does he have time to advance to first? Probably, but we'll never know because he walked directly to the dugout instead of trying. What did I expect for $12 1/2 million. Same laziness from Adam Dunn sometimes.

Geno

Same here. I have really grown attached to the Twins this year. I have that same desire to see them knock the Chisox out of the playoffs. I don't expect it, but watch the race closely.

Who in the heck is Gary Bennett? He's a Cub killer and now since were finished with the Cubs he will go back to hitting .192. I'm predicting a Marlins sweep Spinner by the Marlins naturally got keep thing consistent. grin.gif I bet you can't wait for your Reds west road trip to end man you guys are getting killed out there. I see since the Red Sox don't have a prayer of getting back into the playoff race that there starters Ortiz and Ramirez are coasting through the rest of the season with aches in pains, why push it with the team tanking so bad and the Yankees on a roll...

Yes Tim, this may be all for the Reds. Losing the one run games we have been winning this year. Lohse finally pitched a bad game. (5 runs in only 5 IP). If he can't return to mediocrity, that will do it. Reds are a powerhitting machine that can't play small ball when we have to. Don't have the offense to overcome bad pitching. Our only playoff hope it to win the NL Central. I really never thought we could win the wildcard without .500 play on the west coast. But it was a fun year no matter how it ends. Unless we lose 25 straight of course. frown.gif

It's hard to find a team playing well right now. Didn't think I would say that about the AL Central at any time this year. I see two teams about ready for the playoffs, and they are both from NY.

In any event, this is day 363 of IraqSucksTour05/06. I'm moving West about 7,000 miles in a couple days. Be back to argue with you guys in about a week.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
