Greetings and salutations, YC friends and foes! I hope everyone had a delightful weekend, whether you were enjoying a ball game, honoring your mother with a card you found in the 99cent section of Hallmark, or watching Lifetime movies for 48 straight hours. Mondays are usually depressing with the school and/or work week firing back up, so I have a treat for you to read whilst you take your lunch break - another edition of the patented (lies) Rest o' the League Round-up! As usual, I'm allotting just 10 words (or less!) per team. Ready?? Commence! AL East Looks who's still in the running!Boston: Interested in Rockie's Taveras. Better than Colon. Tampa Bay: 59 more to that elusive 80 wins mark!! Baltimore: Enjoy not being in last place for another few days. Toronto: Ouuuuuuuuuuuuch Wells :( AL Central Is it just me or do the standings here seems a tad askew?Minnesota: Thanks for stopping Sox from pulling another annoying come-from-behinder. Chicago: Not ONE dude hitting over .300. That's bad. If you're wondering. Cleveland: How long can Lee keep that 0.81 ERA up? Detroit: D-Train on his way back. Could be Zito 2.0 Kansas City: How's that Ambiorix Burgos for Bannister trade working out, Mets? AL West Way better rivalry than their NL counterpartsOakland: Rich Harden pitched and didn't Pavano. Will eventually. Los Angeles: Bats slumping like Jason Giambi. Will still win division. Texas: Just blame it on Bush. Seattle: A couple losses away from abject disaster. NL East Are you at all scared, Mets and Phillies?Florida: Best record in the game. How long will this last? New York: Carlos y Carlos starting to hit at last - bodes well. Philadelphia: Ryan Howard STILL struggling... and fatter than ever. Atlanta: Smoltz and Glavine realizing it's not the 90's anymore. Washington: Aaron Boone hitting .304 in limited at-bats. Huh? NL Central I spy with my little eye: 3 teams with a chance and 3 with no hope Chicago: Ryne Sandberg still feisty... and still spelling his name wrong. St. Louis: Isringhausen still having issues. Can he get it together? Houston: Why is Chacon good for every team besides the Yanks? Milwaukee: At least Gagne KNOWS he sucks. Pittsburgh: Seem to have a plan in place after years of mediocrity... Cincinnati: Double switches too confusing for Dusty Baker.
NL West What happened to the hot race?Arizona: Not as good against good teams, eh?Los Angeles: Painful loss after 7+ no-hit innings by Kuroda. Such a bust.San Francisco: Barry Baked Ziti's picture here syncs up well with his statsColorado: 2 no-no's for AAA Sky Sox - wowza!San Diego: Congratulations, Maddux! (I was there!)
