1) will crosby have a MLB job next year

Probably a two game sweep of Seattle back in May,
although I don’t know if they were +.500 at the time. They are now.
Small victories, right?

Suzuki and Cust both now have 111 total bases

Kurt has 8 less runs, 15 more hits, driven in 9 less. Walked 20 times less but also has struck out 57 less times.
