ISH95: Why not both? It’s been bad opponents, but losing to those bad opponents would have basically ended the season. Instead they’ve gone 9-4 on the month and are hanging tight in an NL Wild Card race that suddenly involves a couple hot teams. Of the seven teams within 1.5 games of the third Wild Card spot, only one of them (the Giants) has not posted a winning record in the last ten games. Wins are good, no matter who they are against.
Makakilo: Two reasons it was a good week:
- The Diamondbacks are not yet back to full strength, which is a great time to play (and win games) against the Angels and White Sox.
