A two game lead with 30 games to go is not enough.
Let us pray for the Mariners today.

Same here.

Agree

The NL has been on a down slide in quality for the last
10-12 years. While I hate to say anything positive about
the DH, it could be that the NL keeps putting their no
longer fleet afoot lumber yard players in the line up
while the AL keeps them on the bench.

Hope springs eternal.

The Yankees are the enemies of my blood. But if they
were playing the Twins or the Red Sox in the stretch
this year, I might smile if they won.

In the loss column (most important)

I'll take a wild card anyday! Let's also give one to the Brewers!?!

93 wins won't be the best in baseball. I see Tampa and California tipping
close to the big "C" or possibly over it.

I see the Angels as the most potent team in MLB and would
be thrilled to get 4-1 odds on them winning the World Series.
Their major problem will be winning the AL against the Rays.
the White Sox and either the Red Sox or the Twins. Kicking
ass on the NL pennant winner is like arm wrestling with
your wife.

What the OP was saying was that the AL is the best league
in MLB. I disagree to the extent that the NL pennant would
would be a slim flavorite against the Triple-A champion and
thus may not qualify as an MLB league.
