    With less than a month to go before the playoffs, her are some things that strike me.

    SF is in LAST place, as in behind the Padres and Rockies.
    Seattle is breathing down the Angels neck--but only for 3rd place.
    I am unsure if the Rangers are snake bit or if the A's are that much better than they look on paper.
    Boston. Where were they last year? It was not 8 games ahead of everyone.
    Dodgers, same song verse 2.
    The Pirates story has been done to death, so I will tip my hat to the division leading Cards.
    Miami cannot lose 100 games.

    Chris Davis, dont look now, but MCab wants back to back Triple Crowns.
    Bartolo Colon, are you kidding me?
    Ditto Michael Cuddyer
    Michael Cuddyer.
    Jose Fernandez, see last entry in the team section (I have him for three more option years).

    If the Giants finish in last place, they will be only the second team to ever go from World Series champs to the cellar, joining the infamous "fire sale" '97 Marlins, who fell to 5th in the NL East in 1998.

    Other notable post-championship flops--

    1990 Reds--5th of 6 the next year
    1983 Orioles--5th of 7 in 1984
    1931 Cardinals--6th of 8 the next season
    1964 Cardinals--7th of 10 in 1965
    1963 Dodgers and 1966 Orioles--6th of 10 the next season

    A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
