I can't believe this team is back at .500; especially when we consider where the A's were a month ago.

Seriously. This team can make a real run at the wildcard.

I'm almost reminded of the 2001 team. Started off horribly, then went on a tear to win the WC. I wonder if it will happen again this season. The All-Star Break is coming up and we know the kind of second-half team our guys have been the past few years...I guess we'll have to wait and see.
