First blog in 3 weeks, so what has being going on. Well, in three weeks there has been such a downpour of events.
> The Yankees insurmountable lead has disintegrated and they are life and death to hold their division spot.
> The Washington Nationals followed through on their promise and shut down Strasburg.
> Melky Cabrera got a 50 game suspension for a banned substance
> The Dodgers acquired Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, and Carl Crawford and have fallen backwards in the standings.
> The Oakland A's have vaulted past the Angels, and are threatening even the Texas Rangers
> So far despite all his efforts, Bobby Valentine is still employed by the Red Sox.
> Here come the Baltimore Orioles....no really.. the Baltimore Orioles.
> The Phillies, given up for dead at the All Star Break are 5 games out of a playoff spot. Hell, they dumped Hunter Pence, they dealt Victorino to LA, they added nobody.
> Roger Clemens is pitching for a Skeeters team in the minors looking to pitch for the Astros, and he wants a shot at facing a real contender. Why, to push back his Hall of Fame inducement 5 years.
> The Pirates finally imploded, and their good news story has ended.
> There are more teams in the playoff than ever before.
So, we are 3 weeks from mthe finish line, and the potential for tie breaking games is huge. The Rays, O's, A's, Angels, Tigers , and Yanks are all candidates in the AL. In the NL, Brewers, Braves, Cards, Dodgers, are all potential 1 game participants.
It seems like it raining baseball news. Maybe I had better keep up with current events a tad better.
