4) Have there been more injuries this year, or is it just that there is a god and he hates my fantasy baseball team? I lost Derrick Lee and Contreras earlier, not to mention (literally) a good 8-10 other players. Now Kent goes down. It just seems there are a lot of people getting hurt, particularly big-name players.

Maybe the Twins could make another steal trade with the Giants for a bat. Heck, they only had to dispose of Pierzynski to get Nathan, Liriano and Bonser (an all-star closer and two-fifths of their rotation). That trade still stings.

However, the Giants really don't have a bat worth taking...or on Geritol.

The Twinkies got themselves in an early hole and the Tigers and Sox were playing great from the start so it's gonna take a serious run to get into 1st place. I don't see it happening. They have to hope one of those 2 teams cools off big time and aim for the wild card.

Last season the White Sox had a 16 game lead on the Indians at the break and the Indians trimmed it to 1 game in September, and finally didn't make the playoffs with about 93 wins. So that Sox team did cool off mightily and struggled all September long.

The Tigers, well, I think they'll cool a little bit as well. I don't know if Kenny Rogers is going to lead that team to a division title. I guess we'll see. The only thing stopping me from saying that they are like last season's Nationals is that their pitching staff is very good. Young, but good.

I don't know if the Twins are gonna get a bat, but if they do, look out. That duo in the rotation with Nathan nailing down the ninth, they're formidable.

Oh you're totally right that anything is possible and last year's Indians nearly proved that, but it requires the Twins to stay hot and one of 2 teams to basically fall on their ass so the odds are against the Twinkies. Getting a big bat will help, assuming a deal is out there.

I'm just amazed out how wide open the field is this year because there is no 1 dominant team. It's anyone's trophy at this point.

I don't know about Abreu, but Soriano is definitely going somewhere by the deadline, as the Nationals are not resigning him and need to get something for him in mid-July before he just walks away from the team 2 months later. And they can get a lot for him.

I'd say just about any team in a pennant race would want him, but I think the Yankees in particular have a nice shot at getting him back, especially with Sheff and Godzilla out.

Anyone else here sick to death of Jose Canseco opening his stupid mouth? He was a childhood hero of mine when I was 10 years old and in Little League, and now I can't stand his backstabbing ass and took both of his autographed pictures off my wall.

Why he did that to his peers, I cannot understand. Especially since it appears he did it for money.
