20 games again, I said that I am feeling confident that things are going to turn around soon. I'm starting to feel more confident picking up the Reds and thanks in part to the Mets, the Dodgers this week. For Mike, the Mariners have fallen even further, the Reds hurt and the Blue Jays have pushed him. There is still plenty of time to go and we will update these standings in approximately 10 days.
