Lights Out Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 In a strange twist of fate, the Rangers, Indians(!), and Royals(!!!) are tied for the best record in the AL at 10-4. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnythingChicago Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The AL Central is literally upside down. See here. And the Cubs are beating the best team in the MLB, record wise, by 7. Soriano looks good; 5 HRs already and he only needs a triple for the cycle in this game (like that'll happen). If Soriano puts up the numbers he put up in Washington, the Cubs could contend for the wild card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The AL Central is literally upside down. See here. I was thinking the exact same thing when I was looking at the standings a little while ago. KC isn't off the charts shocking but the Indians? After their first two games I would have bet that the Tribe would be lucky to win 60 games this season. It's still really early but they're already playing way better than I think anyone expected. Will the Central remain "upside down?" I'd doubt it, but it would sure be great if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cubs contend for the division, it'll be through attrition rather than any sort of overachievement on their part. As constructed, they can top out at 84 wins; the extent to which the other five teams (well, four; the Astros can't hit 70) cannot is largely out of the Cubs' hands. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBP is pretty much in a sea of nothing but parking spaces. Philadelphia has always had very reasonable (relatively speaking) parking prices for sports. Even cheaper than far smaller cities. One of the issues is that there is nowhere good to "park and ride" if you're coming from the suburbs or outside of the city grid. I'm right in Center City and have the super-mega-delux-go-anywhere-the-fvck-you-want-to-go monthy trans pass so I just take a trolly or bus to the subway and I'm there.

Sport Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Edinson Volquez is extremely annoying. The guy has to pitch from a hole because he's always giving away big leads in the first inning. At one point today the stat read that he had given up 15 runs on the season, 13 of them were from the first inning. The Reds offense has covered his ass in every other outing, but today they weren't able to and in the future they won't always be able to. Also, the bullpen is not looking good. It could become a serious problem the further we go through this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
