The Break
The 2008 baseball season is half way through as the All-Star break is upon us. The trade deadline is just a couple weeks away and when play resumes later on this week, the dog days will begin to set in. Those dog days always reveal the teams that are for real, and the teams that aren’t quite there yet. That’s when the division races get very interesting.
I have already written about the Rays success this year, I would like to turn my attention to the Mets. They arrive at the break with a nine game winning streak. I know, I know, it is hard to get excited about Fernando Tatis and 2nd baseman Castillo. And first baseman Carlos Delgado hit all of his homeruns this year in one game against the Yankees and Met fans are now thinking that he should be in the homerun derby. It almost feels as though this is the team’s longest winning streak since 1986.
But there they are ˝ games behind the Phillies in the East.
Will the D-rays get eaten up by the dog days?
Yankees new back up at third?
Comeback player of the year?
Can Lou lead the Cubs to a championship?
