If anyone had told you that at the beginning of the season, you'd have laughed at them. But it's true and they are giving every indication of being in this thing for the duration of the campaign.
Rocco Baldelli may add something to the roster in the stretch, but if Gabe Gross keeps coming through in the clutch as he has, why bother?
They really need the bullpen to remain healthy and the Rays have some young arms in the minors yo offer pitching depth if needed later in the season.
The Cubs and the White Sox maintain Windy City hopes of an all Chicago Series.
The Mets and Yankees seem poised to fall off the pace in their respective divisions and given the Mets treatment of Willie Randolph, I'll root for that to happen.
The Twins and Tigers are showing signs of life in the AL Central as are the Brewers in the NL Central Division. The Indians seem to be trying to figure out whether to pack it in for this season (trade C.C.) or hang in there for the long haul (keep C.C.).
In the AL West, the Angels and A's will battle into September, I'm not sure if Texas has the pitching to join them. In the NL West, the division of apathy, whoever can strng together an 8-10 game winning streak should be able to hold off the also-rans. look for the D-Backs to right the ship eventually.
