Ok folks, here is where our beloved baseball teams stand
heading into this weekend’s action…
The big news coming out of the NL Central is that the Cubs (17-23)
are no longer in last place! Granted they are still quite a few games out of
first (9.0) but they have moved past the Milwaukee Brewers who are now ½ game
behind the Cubbies. Chicago hosts the Mets this weekend so victories will help
both the Cubs and the Braves. Go Cubs!
Atlanta (22-18) is struggling right now out west. They have
lost 6 of their last 10 games and begin a three game series with the Dodgers
tonight. In spite of their struggles they still hold a ½ game lead over the
Nationals. Hopefully the Braves can win the series over the Dodgers before they
head home to host the Twins next week.
The Orioles (23-17) are hanging in there in the AL East. The
Yankees have been playing good ball lately and have taken over first place but
the O’s are just 1.5 games back. They get to host Tampa Bay in a big three game
series this weekend. Got to win against your division foes.
Baltimore Oriole you better get to know…Manny Machado.
Here is a recent article about the young third baseman for
the Orioles. I will also attach the link to his Wikipedia page. Sports
Illustrated also has an article on him recently. His name is coming up with the
likes of Bryce Harper and Mike Trout pretty regularly and this article compares
the three. Enjoy.
