Just a short post to congradulate the Mets and their fans.Now its time for the Padres to get one.

A. L. Report
First post in a series on the standings throughout the year.
The American League
East
Baltimore 20-12 ---
Tampa Bay 20-12 ---
Toronto 18-14 2.0
New York 17-14 2.5
Boston 12-19 7.5
One word comes to mind,WOW...never did I think that the powerhouse/money guys would be 4th and 5th.....yeah,I predicted the Yanks to be 4th,but,that was just because I hate them.
I hope the O's can continue to actually play good against the Yanks,they usually never do.
Go Rays and Jays.
Central
Cleveland 18-13 ---
Detroit 16-15 2.0
Chicago 15-17 3.5
Kansas City 11-19 6.5
Minnesota 8-23 10.0
Only comment here is how bad the Royals are showing themselves so far.I figured Minnesota would not have a great year and it doesn't surprise me at all.
West
Texas 21-11 ---
Oakland 16-16 5.0
Seattle 15-18 6.5
Los Angeles 14-18 7.0
Texas is slowly running away with it,but I wont count out the Angels.The A's are playing above their heads and it will slow down soon.
So,if season ended yesterday,the O's and Rays would have to have a one game playoff for the division title and loser would play the Jays for the Wild Card in another one-game playoff.
The Indians and Rangers would also be in.................so,no Angels,Redsox,Yanks or Tigers....Oh my.
I know its early,but Wow,things are not going that great in a few cities so far and I haven't even done the N.L. yet.
Any comments?

Favorite Baseball Announcers
I have been swamped at work and thankfully making a few sales on ebay which has kept me busy like crazy.
Also,baseball has started and i watch as much as i can,free preview just ended and now i only have limited amount of games to see.
The channel i watch most is the MLB Network,but i'm in the Braves territory,so i get Braves games on their 3 different networks.
While i had the free preview,i try and watch the broadcasters from all of the teams and see who i like and who i dont like......without my YES prejudice.
I grew up listening to Milo Hamilton on the Astros radio network and on the TV side,i've always enjoyed Chip Carey,because he also did the Orlando Magic games when i lived in Florida.
Who are your favorites and from what team.

2012 Predictions
2 down,2428 to go.......Number of regular season games that are supposed to be played.Two have finished playing in Japan,now the North American games begin soon.
Every year i try and predict the outcome of the season,this year will be very scary as i will be able to look back at in print and say how waaaaayyyyyy off i was.
National League
East
1. Phillies
2. Nationals
3. Braves
4. Marlins
5. Mets
I do think even with all of the injuries the Phils have,they will overcome them because of their pitching staff.
Braves and Nats will battle for second and Nats will win it in late Sept.
Central
1. Cardinals
2. Pirates
3. Reds
4. Brewers
5. Cubs
6. Astros
I'll start by saying its alot easier to predict the bottom as both the Cubs and Astros will really stink this year(it pains me as i grew up listening to Milo call the games on the radio).
Even with Pujols gone,i dont see the Reds,Pirates or Brewers having enough to overtake them.
West
1. Rockies
2. D-Backs
3. Giants
4. Dodgers
5. Padres
Toss up for me,as i find myself surprised about last years D-Backs team and wonder if they have it for 2 years in a row,then i'll be drinking the kool-aid.Rockies look good so far in spring and i actually like the look of this team.
American League
East
1. Rays
2. Redsox
3. Bluejays
4. Yankees
5. Orioles
Hey,i could dream right.....if you dont know,i hate the Yanks and i love 29 teams and hate 1.Truth be told,they look good this year,but i will cheer my a$$ off for the other 3 and hope Yanks dont make the playoffs.,However,I do see the Rays winning the division.
Central
1. Tigers
2. Royals
3. Indians
4. Twins
5. Whitesox
Wow,where do i start,easy division for the Tigers,most likely by at least 15 games.I like the Royals to compete for the Wild Card.Twins and Whitesox will not be too fun to watch this year.
West
1. Rangers
2. Angels
3. A's
4. Mariners
5. Astros(early 2013 prediction)
I think the Angels have too much ground to make up to catch the Rangers.
Wild Card Teams
N.L.
Nats,Braves and Pirates will battle till the end and Pirates will be looking at the game on TV.
A.L.
Redsox,Jays and Royals will battle it out and the Yankees will be the spoilers and Bluejays will go home.
I'll make predictions after the season for the playoffs.But if everything goes well,i see the Rays and Phillies in the World Series.
Thats mine,whats yours??
