My whole life I've had a bit of a fascination about the study of what causes plane crashes or how pilots save hundreds of lives by recovering from a potentially fatal incident.

With that in mind, we opened August 2-13 and into a tie for first on 8/15. Two things were going to happen; nose down into Disneyland or the plane leveling off at 5000 feet.

We finished up 8-5 while the Royals went 5-9 and the Twins fell into one of those lakes up there going 3-13. So we open September with a 4 game lead over the Royals and 7 clear of the Twins.

My injury list is clear. I still have no idea who is playing CF and LF from day to day. Al Bumbry and Mickey Rivers have combined for barely a .300 OPB and we can't have the table setters not setting tables. Rookie Dan Briggs has knocked in more runs than both in less than 200 AB's and recent call up Gregory Foreman was hitting .330 with 30 HR's in AAA. Would like 2 of them to get hot. The Yankees will be formidable and if we get THAT far, the Astros look like a dynasty 97-36 so far:

Bob Watson 28 year old catcher .306/.357/.448 10 HR
John Mayberry 23 year old 1B .248/.350/.419 17 HR
Joe Morgan 30 year old 2B. .268/.388/.381 40 SB
Mike Easler. 23 year old LF .328/.393/.523 21 HR
Cesar Cedeno 23 year old RF .341/.393/.537 22 HR SB

Their pitchers are just as young and great, being 1/2/3/5 in ERA.
