Eh, I'd enjoy owning "bragging rights" to being the slightly less mediocre baseball team in a miserable professional sports state, but I have zero faith in these clowns to pull it off. Every time they've had a chance to make up ground on the WC this season, they've peed down their legs. Almost without fail. Bottom line with this team is if Kluber is not on the mound, their chances are not good. The starting pitching outside of him has been largely dreadful save for the occasional decent outing from Bauer (though he appears to be melting down now) and Salazar (shelled last night).

They don't have the horses to pull it off this year. Last season, during the last six weeks, they had Ubald-O pitching out of his mind, Kazmir and Salazar were both solid, and you could sprinkle in a good start from Kluber/McCallister. They don't have that kind of depth this year. It's essentially Kluber and the ghosts of Ken Schrom and Rich Yett trotting out there.

Maybe Kluber will nut up and model his pitching after Old Hoss Radbourn back in 84 (1884 that is).....then they might have a chance

"what is a 5 man rotation....or any rotation...or bullpen"
