We ended up 16-12 in June and followed that up with a 15-13 July as we climbed from last to 3rd, still over 20 games behind the Twins. The Twins are on their way to their 4th straight division title and are favorites to make it back-to-back World Series championships.

Having Rivers and Bumbry healthy for 2 months in a row and adding Wynn last month has helped us play much better. I am going to give Rudy May and Messersmith 1 more start and then shut them down for the year. They've been on the DL in the last 2 years and I don't want to lose them given how frequent pitchers get hurt in this world.

The Twins are 8 games up on the A's, who you have to feel bad for as they would be in 1st place in the AL East. The Yankees hold a 1 1/2 game lead over the Sox and 3 1/2 over Baltimore in what should be an exciting final month.

But they have nothing on the NL races. In the East, St Louis has a 1 game lead over the Mets and 3 1/2 over the Phillies. But it's the West where it gets crazy

Astros
Reds 1/2
Giants 2 1/2
Dodgers 3
Padres 5

There are a large group of teams with a similar record as ours and I really want a higher pick this year. There is a great group in this years draft and I need a power source as the DH is getting added next year. This year has Winfield/Guerrero/Jack Clark/Lynn/Eddie Murray/Yount and is pretty weak in pitching so I want to be in the top 7 and right now I would be 8th. Another reason to rest my 2 best pitchers.
