A WHOLE LOTTA MEDIOCRITY GOING ON...
KUNG FU PANDA (PABLO SANDOVAL) FOR THE ALL-STAR GAME.
.....in Major League Baseball right now.
Look at the divisional races in both leagues at the unofficial halfway point (All-Star break).
NL East - One plus team (Phillies), One minus team (Nationals) and a bunch of .500 teams stuck in a cement mixer.
NL Central - Six .500 teams stuck in a cement mixer.
N West - One plus team (Dodgers), One minus team (Padres) and a bunch of .500 teams.
SOME QUICK QUESTIONS:
Are the Giants really a contending team?? REALLY??!!! Pitching says OK, maybe. Wiffle bat offense says NO-NO.
And really, how did Kung Fu Panda not make the All-Star team?? Because of David Wright??? What has he done except stir the hormones of a bunch of pre-pubescent girls (and boys) in the greater New York metropolitan area??? And for this the rest of the nation has to suffer??
Has Johnathan Sanchez re-established himself as the Giants fifth starter and heir apparent to Randy Johnson?? Over Noah Lowry??? Did it really take a no-hitter for him to do that??
Anyway, on to the AL League mid-season analysis.
AL East - Three plus teams (Rays, Sawks and Yankees) and the rest just .500 type teams.
AL Central - A division of .500 type teams except for the Royals (-) and Indians (-).
AL West - All .500 type teams except for Oakland (-).
What an exciting second half we have shaping up except for maybe the AL East and NL West pennant races. YAWN!!!
