With baseball resuming tomorrow I thought I would review the first half and talk about some of the better stories to grace the headlines. (These stories will not include the name Roger Clemens, Yay!) I will also look at some teams in the second half that may surprise some folks.
1) A Ray Of Sunshine--
As much as I hate to admit it the Rays have made some serious noise and this is great for baseball. They are young and they are talented and more im portantly they are winning games. They have the talent to stay in this race and will make some noise for the wild card.
2) How the West plain stinks--
The NL West is a disaster. The Rockies are just one year removed from the World Series and the Diamond backs started off as one of the best teams in MLB just to fall before the break and join the other teams that make up the wretched west. The first place team is below .500 !
3) First Half MVP goes to....
Josh Hamilton-Texas Rangers--not only is he a feel good story but the Rangers have some firepower in the middle of the lineup with Hamilton. The Rangers have surprised this year and would not have come close to doing it with Hamilton's numbers. He is batting over .300 and has 95 RBI's. That's good enough for me for first half MVP.
4) This really is the Cubs year
As a Red Sox fan I know what it's like to go through a drought and the Cub fans have to be thrilled at the way their team has played in the first half. With surprising years from Soto and Fukudome the Cubs have the most home wins by any team in baseball....if they could just figure out how to win on the road.
5) Teams to watch for the second half
Milwaukee--is a team on the rise and the trade for CC makes this a easy team to have on your radar.
Toronto--the problem with this team is they play in the over talented AL east but I am not ready to give up on them yet. The pitching is deep and if they stay healthy they will make some noise in the second half.
Detroit--After a dismal start this team has shaped up to make a run for the divison in the second half and are just seven games back. The lineup is ready to go but they need the starting pitching to show up in the second half.
Florida--The Mets and the Phillies are the talk of this didvison but watch for the fish to make a statement that they are still in this thing. They play nearly .500 ball (24-25) on the road and that is a better record than the Cubs, Mets, Brewers and Red Sox.
Be patient and enjoy the second half of the season and good luck!
