So here we are. Mid-Season and one thing I was certainly wrong about. The Royals. Wow, what happened? They are terrible. Seriously, terrible.

A lot of baseball has been played. A lot has happened. Manny returned. Not sure what happened. Did he miscarriage? Anyone know?

One really cool thing that happened was this. It is awesome that the first no-no came from a young lefty who stepped in place of the ailing Randy Johnson. Watch the video. If the stuff with his dad being there doesn’t put a tear in your eye go back and watch Field of Dreams. If you STILL don’t cry, then you are not human.

The A.L. East is shaping up the way it was supposed to. The Blue Jays finally looked in a mirror and realized they are wearing Blue Jays uniforms and started losing like they are supposed to. If you still think the wild card isn’t coming out of the A.L. East, you need to wake up. Although, I could be all “Royals” on this one and be completely wrong.

The Cubs are stinkin’ up the joint real good. Someone must have told them that it is the postseason ALL YEAR LONG because they are playing like it. The loveable losers. Maybe it is time to drop the “loveable” part.

The Mets. Wow. I actually feel sorry for them with all the injuries, but David Wright, come on! When is he going to the old Shea Stadium and find the bat he left there?

Finally, if you consider yourself a true baseball fan, do yourself a favor and watch the All-Star game. The talent alone in this game is amazing. Jeter, Pedroia, Mauer, Teixeira, Pujols, Utley, and how about Evan Longoria. Wow, getting the mad respect that he clearly deserves.

Watch the All-Star game. You won’t regret it.

Thank you. That is all.

  1. And can we celebrate for a minute that my early season comment about the Cardinals were just getting warmed up was true? The Brewers always play tough for the first bit and then fall off the radar.
