Jeez, DJ, your M's are killing me! Dice-K pitches outstanding ball for 8 innings and the offense can't score any runs. 3 game sweep. UGH! Manny and Papi combined to go 0-fer-10. Ouch. Veritek threw in an 0-fer-4 for good measure.

Some? Here's all of them:

AL East: Red Sox by 9 games over Toronto
AL Central: Detroit by a half game over Cleveland
AL West: LA Angels of Anaheim by 5 over Seattle

NL East: Mets by 3.5 over Philly and Atlanta
NL Central: Milwaukee by 7.5 over the Cubbies
NL West: San Diego and Arizona are tied, a half game in front of the Dodgers.

Aggie, your Rangers are 16 games out. But as I noted in last year's thread, the last two teams to have fired Buck Showalter have won the World Series the very next year (Yankees did it with Torre, Diamondbacks did it with Bochy as manager). So take heart, your Rangers will upset my Red Sox in the ALCS and win the World Series.
