Is May over already? It’s hard to believe that the second
month of the season is over after tonight’s action. Things are starting to take
shape but there is still a lot of baseball left to be played. The next three
months will be important to determine if the September call-ups are there to
help the team now or just to get experience for next year. Let’s hope our teams
are in the hunt come September 1st.
The Orioles (30-24) are hanging in there. They sit 2.5 games
behind the Red Sox who have taken the lead in the AL East thanks to a 5 game
losing streak by the Yankees. The O’s have won 7 out of their last 10 and are
only ½ a game behind the second place Yanks. Tampa Bay has also been playing
well and is back in the hunt as well. Only three games separate the top 4 teams
in the AL East. Baltimore hosts Detroit in a three game set this weekend.
The Braves (32-21) are plugging right along. Thanks to some
help from Baltimore against the Nationals the Braves sit on top of the NL East
by 5.5 games now. That’s a good thing because the Nats are coming to town for a
three game set in Atlanta. Hopefully the Braves can keep up their winning ways
against Washington this weekend.
The Cubs (22-30) are on fire! They have won 4 in a row and
now sit only 12.5 games behind the division leading Cardinals. More importantly
right now is they have opened up a 3 game lead over the last place Brewers. Arizona
comes to town this weekend so maybe the Cubs can keep the streak going.
