Jays are smoking the Twins this year like a fine Cuban cigar.
Finally at .500.
Posada not in the line-up today. Probably because he doesn't hit well against lefties. More likely because he's a punk-ass bitch.
Somewhere, Rich is very excited.
Jorge Posada has the lowest BA in MLB. I love it.
Why are the Twins so awful? They've scored less runs than anyone else (by 16 - almost half a run a game!) and given up more than anyone else except for Houston (both teams have given up 27+ more than the next worst - over half a run a game).
They are looking at a 50 win season.
Their team is still built for the Metrodome, their new field is completely different, and Mauer and Morneau arent doing what they should be. Plus the Jays are awesome this year and are feasting on them.
The Jays are 15-19 against teams that aren't the Twins. Does awesome have a different meaning up there? The Mets are better against teams that aren't the Twins.
I've always thought 40 games was a big enough sample to start drawing conclusions and making predictions about how the season is going to go. I did some rough math and here's what I am predicting right now. Save this post and we'll see what happens.
AL East: TB 95-67
AL Central: Cleveland 101-61
AL West: LAA 88-74
WC: Damn Yankees 91-71
NL East: Atlanta 102-60
NL Central: St. Louis 97-65
NL West: Colorado 84-78
WC: Philly 101-61
Interesting pick of the Braves. I don't think it likely, but it's not entirely far fetched. Though at this point of the season I'd be more likely to pick Florida.
Keep in mind, the Phillies offense will likely be getting two nice surprises soon (Chase Utley and Dom Brown). They may not be posting a .950ops (though they might), but they'll likely be far better than who they're replacing.
It's hard to make picks at this point in some of the divisions. This has been a strange start to the season.
