Halos After Game 100

Mercifully, our Halos (60-40) remain just two games back of the A's (62-38) thanks to a bases loaded walk to Kole Calhoun last night and some extra innings theatrics from the Astros on Tuesday. Seattle (53-48) continues to fall off the pace, with the Yankees (52-48) and Blue Jays (53-49) now nipping at their heels for the second wild card spot. Did anyone notice how well represented the Baltimore fan base was at the Big A? Complete with that state flag like we're rounding turn three at Talladega. I've never been to Baltimore but I recently started watching The Wire. It doesn't look like Seal Beach.

Here's an update on our playoff outlook after 100 games. I realize we did one after 98 games, so don't take this as an implication that you can't do simple math. Take this as an implication that you don't want to.
