With two months of baseball in the books, give me a team that has impressed you, suprised you, and unimpressed you.
I am pretty impressed with the Rangers. Buck Showalter has again done a very good job. He and Lee Mazzilli has to be the top two candidates for Manager of the Year. Texas continues to do it with smokes and mirrors with that pitching staff. I think Texas has something in Chris Young. He has a chance to be a great pitcher. I saw him made him debut against the Red Sox at Fenway last year and he was pretty darn good that day. Their bullpen has been solid considering they lost Almanzar and Rodriguez for the year.
Orioles have suprised me. I know they were going to be a .500 team, but for them to be at first place is pretty impressive after two months. I gotta give them credit. They find ways to win. Can they keep it up? I don't know. Injuries and pitching worry me. Still they deserve credit for being there.
I thought the Cubs would be a lot better than this. Cubs are just a mess. They are struggling and now they got guys finding ways to get hurt. You have to wonder if this will be Dusty Baker's last year.
