MLB - Back to Form
It's been a while since I wrote about baseball. More than a month, I think. The main reason for this lull is the lack of truly interesting stories this year.
Take a look around the league. We'll start with the American League.
- Frank Thomas and Juan Gonzalez made their returns to the field. First games all year for the two of them. They lasted a combined 7 1/2 innings. Both of them will probably be put back on the DL now. Nice job, guys.
- The Yankees and Red Sox are winning, and will probably knock off Baltimore to take 1 and 2 in the division.
- Speaking of Baltimore, I wrote on this very blog that they'd be a good team if their pitching held together. Well, it's slipping, and so are they.
- Oakland isn't jack without 2 of their Big Three.
- Alex Rodriguez is making another MVP run.
- A Japanese guy is making a run at Rookie of the Year.
The only real story is the White Sox staying at the top of the Central, but they're not even the biggest team in their city.
Moving to the NL:
- Braves are hanging around first place. Again.
- Mets are underachieving. Again.
- St. Louis' offense is good. Again.
- Barry Bonds isn't recovering from injuries as fast as last year (I have to ask one of my doctor friends what kind of medicine they give you to recover from that stuff... hmm... begins with an 'S'...)
San Diego carrying their division has got to be the only surprise in that whole league.
Come on, guys. Give me something to work with here.
A fool and his money are soon parted: The D-Backs and the Mariners both spent rap star dollars this winter to upgrade their teams. The only difference is, the D-Backs got pitching and a shot at first place. The Mariners got hosed. And you mean to tell me nobody saw this coming?
By the way, Glass Joe Brown lost again last night to the Royals. He had won four straight decisions. Weather reports were coming in from hell: 40% chance of flurries.

hahahahaha...my thoughts exactly Alison
You can always write about the Cubs and their goal of having everyone on the roster visit the DL at one point or another this season.
