Okay, we're pretty much about 110 games in. But still, tons of biesbol to play. Observations:
The Yank Me's are 28 games over .500. Twenty Eight Games. And they're 7.5 games back of my Sox. Yeah, I said it again. My AL bandwagon team, Boston. The Sox are as hot as any team I've seen in forever.
Contrast that with the Indians, who are only 11 games over .500 and 10 games up in the Central. What a shitty conference. And how quickly have the Royals gone from World Series penthouse to the cellar dweller outhouse. 40 games under .500.
The Astros continue to roll at 28 games over .500 but the A's are suddenly the surprise team. They've overtaken Seattle and are only 5 games back. Wildcard?
In the NL, the Braves and Phillies are essentially tied for first with both teams 12 games over .500. I still can't help but think the Nats, at 5 games out, will make a run and take the division.
Cubs maintain a 17 games over .500 pace but the damn Brew Crew won't go away at 1.5 games back. Cards and Pirates lurking at 7 back with mucho ball to play.
I continue to laugh at the Dodgers. How much money can you possibly waste? Yeah, they're in first. But the D'backs, Rockies and Giants are right there within easy striking distance.
Okay, on another note, I saw a factoid the other day saying my Bravos have not won a playoff series since 2001. That's F'ing pathetic and sad. While I'm stoked with how they're playing this year, I still have no illusions they'll get in, much less win anything. But, I'm definitely pumped with the young talent and a long term plan that looks like it's coming to fruition.
