And then after that, a second trip to the West Coast (granted it's the Angels and Oakland, but it's still tough going out there twice, in such a short period of time).
I agree, that it's a brutal August schedule. The September/early October schedule is slightly more forgiving, but not by much.
That being said, the Marniers have been playing well, but it comes with an asterisk. Since July 2nd, they are 18-7. That record consists of going 1-6 vs. Houston (who they're actually finished with, despite being in the same division), 0-1 vs. the Yankees, and 17-0 vs. everybody else. And you think we don't beat good teams...
Sorry. Double posted. I hit the wrong button, somewhere.
