    right now, unless you're a fan of the d**gers, rangers or cardinals, you're rooting for flawed or shitty teams. seems like other than those 3, there's a whole lot of mediocrity out there :?

    Agreed, those three are clearly better than the rest right now. I am confident in the Yanks that they'll put it together soon. Baltimore is a joke. Can't believe Boston is in the cellar, they have to turn it around quickly and get some guys back.

    even your mighty yanks have PLENTY of issues.

    Offense disappears and the pitching has been suspect. Frustrating as hell so far. That lineup will hit consistently though and I think the pitching will be fine. Time will tell.

    you forgot the rays ... they just play good fundamental baseball ... moving runners over ... manufacturing runs ... makes a huge difference ...

    Eh, I don't think they have the offense to hold up, especially without Longoria.

    Fake to 3rd, throw to 1st is becoming a balk.

    honestly i don't know how or why the dodgers are doing so well...after kemp and ethier, our batting drops way off...shit we just signed abreu! :lol: and kershaw has been up and down and we are a mess in the bullpen

    i think they manufacture runs out of not a whole lot ... they get productive outs ... their pitching staff is solid and their bullpen is taking care of business ... i see them winning the al east this year ...

    I don't think productive outs and moving runners leads to winning the AL East. You have to have firepower to win that division. I like their pitching a lot, but I don't like their offense a little bit.

    the only decent team they've beaten all year is the Nats. then again, there's not many decent teams in the NL.

    Braves score a lot of runs, have solid starters, and their bullpen is mostly doing good but can become stellar. They are a contendar.

    I thought they might be, but haven't seen enough of them to be any judge. I remember back in the days of TBS, you couldn't help but see them :lol:

    NL East race should be interesting.
