-The just finished weekend has opened some space in the Wild Card races. The Texas Rangers have really fallen, going from inside the playoffs to a game and half outside the October fun. One week of baseball remains, and I see very little changing. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have a five game lead over the Nationals, so the NL seems set. The American League has six teams still with an outside chance, but he Rangers are the only team that seems to have any opportunity to displace Tampa or Cleveland. Right now, Texas is on the verge of a huge failure.
-I sure didn't see San Francisco, Washington, or the Giants at 0-3, but it has happened. The Giants coming off a 38-0 drubbing by Carolina looked horribly out of sync. San Francisco lost to an improving Colts team, and Washington looked the most competitive against Detroit. Tom Coughlin has just about run his course in New York. The team did not respond at all and Carolina is talented, but not a playoff quality team, yet. San Francisco looked like they needed a quarterback change, Kaepernick certainly not producing at this point. Washington has a leader in RG III, but the mix is not potent enough to overcome well prepared team.
So...am I off base?
