Let's just agree to all three make the playoffs, then sort out the rest at the end.

Is herz still working on his 4 year tank?

He has under 30 million in payroll, so I'll say yes.

Wow, he could have made out like a bandit if he weren't in Romania this week.

He gave me very specific instructions on when and how to sign Wiki.  I had no idea these things could be so predictable.  We'll see.

I'm fine with that.

I'm thinking I might only need 6 pitchers in a 5 game series this season.

Unimpressive

The NL West has been the best for like 5 or 6 seasons...  and the "Beast" is full of playoff chokers.

I am not sure I could handle watching a team in the same world during the offseason unless the instructions were something like no trades, no free agent signings.

that where I am?  I've been impressed with how tough my division has been.  88 wins has been good for last place a couple of times, I think.

this FA market changed the landscape of $ - I'm not sure that my team will repeat last years regular season performance even though I have practically the same exact players as last season (only changes are a starting pitcher upgrade from nlmiller and hootie is out 197 days). IIt'll be interesting to see who the favorites are once trades ramp up again and we start the regular season.

Yeah, the original Beast era has been over for a while - here's to a revival.
