Time sure does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it, folks? And by "having fun," I of course mean "watching your team struggle like a Galapagos turtle on its ample back to right itself and zoom ahead of the hare that is the rest of the AL East." With their still sub-.500 record and more wounded soldiers heading to the DL Resort and Casino all the time, I think it's time to take a breather from my usual Yankees chit chat and take a gander at how the other 29 teams in the league are faring these days - as usual, I've got just ten words to use for each of them. Ready? AL East How could this be?? Tampa Bay: Are you for real?? I hope not, for Yankees sake. Boston: Dice-K possibly injured. Great news for Yanks, Rays. Toronto: Could Burnett be on the trading block this summer? Baltimore: Nice job surmounting 2 4-run Yanks leads. Grrrrrumble.
AL Central lots of anger! Chicago: Cabrera taking matters into his own hands.,, Beware of Ozzie. Minnesota: Young needs a day off. Forget streak. Cleveland: Can we have Sabathia? Detroit: Leyland says he's done poor job. Es verdad. Kansas City: Jose Guillen takes notes from Ozzie Guillen. Baby.
AL West We all know who's winning here Los Angeles: Offense still having issues. Don't worry - division still yours. Oakland: You're not really this good. Texas: Just blame it on Bush. Seattle: Disaster.
NL East Who in the what now? Florida: Still?! Philadelphia: Best offensive infield in baseball. Pitching? Atlanta: Gonzales and Soriano coming to help 'pen. Is it enough? New York: Big 2-game win "streak." Willy safe? Washington: At least you have a nice new stadium!
NL Central I spy with my little eye: 3 teams with a chance and 3 with no hope Chicago: Mark Cuban to purchase? St. Louis: I thought Pujols was injured? How so freakin' good?! Houston: Since when are you good? Milwaukee: S.C.O.R.E.? Stolen from Fannin! Cincinnati: 2 homers to go for Griffey! Pittsburgh: Gorzelanny has worse outing than than Hughes or I-Ken.
NL West Hot race dead Arizona: How in tarnation is Randy Johnson halfway decent? Los Angeles: Offense struggling to produce... more hugs from Torre needed. San Francisco: 4 not-awful starts for Zito in a row! Colorado: No chance at a World Series repeat. San Diego: Fail. Labels: other teams, rest o' the league round-up |
//Boston: Dice-K possibly injured. Great news for Yanks, Rays.//
Hey have you ever heard of Bartolo Colon? Bas news for Yankees & Rays!
Um...I think he's already 2-0 and throwing 96 mph?
Can't wait until the league runs on Jorge's burntout arm!
