5. It's Never too late...
Just look at what the Asstros did last year...and all after the break.

(I keep telling myself that, but....)

7. I think it is already mathematically impossible for my Braves

8. It's not, really
They just say it is. If the All-Popular Game were played after 81 games, it'd be a sort of turning point.

What sucks is when the break comes when a ball club's hot, as is the case with Atlanta. You're on a streak, you wanna play every day.

Short of a 1951-ish scenario, though, they ain't gonna catch the Mets.

4. So, how do you keep yourself busy when there is no baseball?
You know, during winter and stuff.

11. Sounds like you need something to keep your mind off
the lack of baseball.

16. Well...
I suppose there are things that could help.

But even before the last out of the World Series, I start thinkin', "How will I survive until March?" :scared:

Analyze games and players 'n' stuff.

18. Yes but at least the Rangers beat the Twins' Santana
on Sunday. That will give some nice time to let that sink in. Heck overall we took 2 out of 3 from a very good team.

39. Me too!
I've been very good at keeping up this year, and I've grown to love even mid-season games again. I was off baseball for awhile, but damn I love it.
