I thought I would get this in before Football starts and everyone starts dry humping their favorite mascot.
So any thoughts on the baseball races?
the AL central is going to be crazy. Detroit is trying their best to blow their lead. The wild card "should" come from here but you never know with Boston in the mix.
The AL east is done, sorry Shamrock.
The Al west....well does anyone really care?
I thought the dodgers made a great trade to get MAddox (something I thought the twins should have looked at considering the help they need at the 5th started spot, and maybe the 4th starter spot, and probably the 3rd starter spot...) I like the dodgers chances right now
I also think I wouldn't want to play cincinnati right now, but then again I don't think I would want to be a fan of theirs right now either. Talk about a strange team.
The NL east is pretty much the Mets and everyone else.
um....other thoughts?
Oh MVP? I don't know about the NL but the AL race should be interesting
I don't know how you decide the AL Rookie of the year. I am rooting for Lirano to come back (for a variety of reasons!) just to throw another wrench in that but I think it is pappledonk and Verlander. I don't see any other contestants there
As for AL Cy young, I think you have to toss a coin right now between Santana and Halladay. Although I have my bias Halladay has been great. Talk about an underated pitcher. I never hear anything about Halladay until the end of the year when he finishes is the top 5 of the cy voting and I look at his numbers and go "wow"!
