    I dunno, Ron. You sound a little worried.

    Uhhh, five games in the loss column, my friend. That's the only number that matters, bro.

    I knew someone would take the bait. I honestly expected Ed to, not you.

    Hey, there are still two months left in the season. Anything can happen. I'm not crazy enough to make predictions at the beginning of the season, much less early August.

    Is that a reply to my reply to yours? If so, "Wow," indeed.

    Price finally beats NY. The beauty of baseball is that anything can happen. Toronto is on a roll and NY is beginning to reel. Plenty of baseball left.

    Four games out, Brian.

    Manny Machado is going to cost someone a fortune when he gets a new contract. I think he's the best player in baseball right now.

    I'll make a prediction: if the Yankees don't win a minimum of 5 out of their next 6, they're officially playing for the wild card - for the reasons I stated last week. They're not as good as Toronto, but can win the division from them if they split their games with them. They've got no chance to win the division if they can't split with Toronto.

    The Yankees are better than Baltimore, however, and will not likely finish behind them.

    Nice to be thought of that way when you win the division.

    You guys can make all the predictions you want. There are about 50 games left. Anything can happen. Well, almost anything.

    I wonder how Papelbon feels about that, considering that his Nats are floundering. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    So, is what I heard true about Chase Utley being placed on waivers?

    Yep. Placed over the weekend. I think the period in which he can be claimed is almost over.

    Just watched the Yankees lose in 16 innings. Lead down to 1/2 game. Mets roll. Lead at 2 and gNats losing out west. Good times.

    Yes, things are getting precarious in The Bronx. They should have won that game. Miller blew his first save of the year at the worst time. Going into Toronto this weekend and I don't anticipate it being very fun.

    At least they scored. They went 31 innings without a run.

    For the first time ever, which is hard to believe.

    That actually is surprising. Is that the first time ever that all the home teams have won on the same day, or just the first time since MLB expanded to 30 teams.

    Also, I'll ask here because I know there are some NFL fans, and y'all more likely to know what I'm talking about here than in the NFL thread: Are there are any NFL sites that are run similarly to Fangraphs? I went searching yesterday, but all I could find were sites that dealt rumor and scandal (both of which, for the most part, Fangraphs ignores). Thanks!
    I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
