5.Pujols elbow still intact. the media sold it like his ligament is a rubberband pressed against a sharp knife, guess the knife isnt that sharp. Sadly i bought into the hype.
4.Willie Randolph still manager of the mets. after last year's disaster i thought he would be gone at the first sign of lackluster play, appartently not.
3. Chase Utley still getting balls to hit with a 200/200 player behind him, ryan howard. on track for .205 and 221ks
2. The Red's kids
1. Reds having Bruce, Votto, Volquez, Griffey, Dunn, Phillips, Arroyo, Harang, Coco Cordero, and somehow still losing
So the 50 game mark is hit for the majors so I'll pause and take a look at the suprises for the AL, NL will come later this week.
Top 5 Suprises for the AL
5. Seattle Mariners - They just look like they're searching for answers and aren't getting them, shown by Richie Sexson's ridiculous actions. Remember when Escobar and Lackey went on the DL everyone said Seattle would get the division? yeah....
4. Cliff Lee - No explanation here, had a good season two years ago, disappear last year and showed up with the best stuff of his career.
3. Mike Mussina - Call it a homer pick if you want, but Cliff Lee was a 18-game winner two years ago and everyone was writing off Mussina and said he was done so I give Moose the edge. And as of today he has 6 more wins the Verlander, more wins the Beckett and is tied at #2 in wins in the AL with 7 and has been the Yankees only consistant starter besides Wang.
2. Josh Hamilton - Great player on a horrible team, and with the major sluggers in the AL starting slow (Ortiz, ARod, Vlad) he has a legitament shot at the Triple Crown. Plus he's the only one of my fantasy team that's doing anything, hopefully he plays 160games this year.
1. Detroit Tigers - They've played great the past few games but come on, they've added players and got worse. Don't need to point out their flaws but I love their $30million long reliever, imagine if the Yanks made that move?
"Oh Mr. Clemens, we need an alibi from you for the last 7 years."
"Alright, let me go get my pocket schedule."
Since when do we need to prove innocence? I always thought it was Innocent until proven guity. Remember what happened last time the media thought people were guilty because of one person's claim? Does the Duke Lacrosse nightmare come to mind?
Does Mitchell have any of Roger's personal checks, used syringes, bottles of steroids from Roger's house? So all he has is a guy who may be facing possible jail time who pointed out Clemens? Yeah, that's rock hard evidence right there.
And just because Pettitte admitted HGH doesn't mean Clemens is guilty; just like when a man is arrested on drug charges, it doesn't mean his wife is guilty.
