I am really enjoying the ride this season.  I picked the team to earn the second Wild Card but considering all the major pitching injuries this is a definite surprise for me.  Ten games the next eleven days (seven with NYY, winning the first, sandwiched around three @TB).  A 7-3 record through that stretch could all but put the division away.  I still think there are several teams in the NL that are superior to the AL teams but I am starting to get excited about the pennant chances.

It's been fun cheering for a team that doesn't seem to know the word "quit".

 

Wow has it, especially after two years of teams that seemed to only know that word.

 

That last two nights have been more fun that the 20-4.  Wow.  Watching the Rays now, down 4-3, chance to extend farther.

 

Next eight we see two @NYY, three @TB, and three v. NYY.  Could all but put this thing away with a nice little 6-2 here.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
