2016 Draft Position

We need to move up. Top 5. That's the goal. Let's do this.

For some reason your inspiring words reminded me of this:

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!

"Charge for the guns!" he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

2

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"

Was there a man dismay'd?

Not tho' the soldier knew

Someone had blunder'd:

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

3

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them

Volley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Hell

Rode the six hundred.
 
We are now tied for 3rd worst, 1.5 ahead of Miami and 2.5 ahead of Philadelphia. I now think we are a virtual lock for a top 3 pick and about a 50/50 shot at #1. We are the worst team in the league now and dropping fast.

We have no shot at 70 wins and a real shot at 100 losses.

Philly improved too much at the deadline. Classic Phils.
 
At this rate, the Braves will clinch the top pick before the Mets clinch the division.
 
Well, Cincinnati is winning against the Cubs. Colorado is leading in the 2nd game with Arizona. Philly is trouncing the Mets. It's looking like there will be a three way tie for the #2 pick with Atlanta, Miami, and Colorado at 54 wins, and Philly will have 53 wins.
 
Cubs just took the lead, but still in 4th for a day at least.

I don't know why people are only using wins. We only needed Colorado to win one, but since they lost both, they are now 0.5 game worse than us. We're 0.5 game better than Miami and 1.5 better than Philadelphia. But we are worse than Cincinnati.

So we're 4th worst now, with Cincy and Colorado 0.5 game clear on either side. If we lose tomorrow, Miami passes us.

We got this. I ain't even worried.
 
We could be No. 1 with a bullet by the weekend. Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
