No.   The record for homers in a month is 58, by the 1987 Orioles (May) and 1999 Mariners (also May).   57 is a record for August, and last year the Orioles set the record for June (56).

That's what I meant...MLB record for most homers in Aug. Last year we also set the record for most hr in Aug with 55.

All those homers can't help lousy pitching all the time.

There is no evidence to support more HRs is indicative of a championship team. Where is Drungo when he's needed? I'm driving, someone help me out.

You have to use the Drungo Signal.  Take a searchlight and cover it with a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of Don Buford's face.

Nice, but I was thinking more along the lines of any of the WS Giant teams or the Royals. Drungo would probably have referenced someone more obscure than Buford, but I like the imagery.

Yeah, what's going on with Drungo? Haven't see him posting much these days.

I believe he can't post at work much due to restrictions there (DOD) and of course the growing demands of a father, husband and European Football fan.  (I'm MUS'ing) 

[Frobby]

Father and husband?    Where are his priorities?

LOL - yeah just go to the NC mountains for a week to regroup and then get back in the fray!

The offense is seriously on fire. Pitching has been pretty good too. The month by month numbers are pretty staggering. We were one of the best teams in baseball in April and August, but one of the worst May-June-July. If we can stay hot in September it might be just barely enough.
