After being way behind for most of 1984, we suddenly went on a winning streak and found ourselves within striking range of the first place Blue Jays with the season nearing and end.
We are 2 and a half back with only five games remaining!
We previously took two out of three from Detroit - a Mattingly late inning homer gave us one win in Tiger Stadium - and then won in Baltimore when Bob Shirley came through with a complete-game 4 hit shutout.
But we dropped the next game behind Rick Honeycutt.
Our starting pitching has kept us in it, but our bullpen except for Gossage and maybe Jay Howell has been disappointing.
We need to win all our remaining five games at this point realistically to have a chance to win the division.
