Survey of the News...
CNNSI’s John Donovan thinks the Phils have done a terrific job closing the gap with the fish, but more importantly he declares the Braves twelve-year stranglehold on the playoffs done. I'm still wary: even the Yankees rebounded from the apocalypse after the 1964 World Series (though it took them time). Still, it looks like a two-horse race between the fish and Phils.
Who is the best team in the NL right now? I would have said the Marlins a few weeks ago, but it looks like the Astros to me: Clemens has been phenomenal so far this season. Their offense has played well: 2nd in NL in BA, 2nd in NL in runs, and 1st in the NL in OBP. They will be tough to beat, a lot better than the Cubs, who I really thought would be the top team in the NL.
I would like to point out that the Phils are 2nd in the MLB in ERA after (astonishingly, an AL team) the Red Sox. Not bad. This team just needs to jell.
Alright. Enjoy the flurry of commentary!
