Friday night baseball; what can we expect with about 50 games to go?

The NFL preseason has started, which is overshadowing the excitment going on in Major League Baseball.  The Toronto Blue Jays have won 11 games in row, and have a 1/2 game lead on the New York Yankees.  The two teams square off for a series this weekend.  This is as close to playoff baseball that your going to get, in August.  The St. Louis Cardinals won a recent series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, increasing their NL Central lead to six games.  Do the Pirates have enough to catch the Cardinals?  The New York Mets have quietly gone 8-2 in their last 10 games, while the Washington Nationals have dropped three games, in a row.  What do the Mets need to do to hold of the Nationals?  Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.
