TWIB Notes 5/1



Hard to believe a month is already in the books for the Major League baseball season. As usual, some teams have already come back to earth (Nats, Royals), some continue to amaze (Cards, DEVIL Rays), and some are right where they should be (Red Sox, Cubs). For more on the Cards and Chipper Jones adoration, stop by here.

Other news to close out April:

- Josh Hamilton (above) continues his feel-good story for a second year. After years of severe personal and drug-related problems, former top prospect Hamilton leads the AL in RBIs and appears to have cleaned up his act completely.

- The Dodgers have finally gotten hot, winning 5 in a row. And they're doing it by...hitting?? Wow..They still have those ridiculous Diamondbacks ahead of them, however. My thougt is that the D-Backs cannot stay that hot. Let's hope not.

- The hopeful crumbling of the Yanks continues as A-Rod, Jorge Posada and Phil Hughes are all on the DL. I won't truly believe they're out of it till the D-Rays are up by 20 games. I'm sorry, I meant Red Sox.

- On a personal note, I get MLB stadium number 24 in on Sunday as we head to Toronto. Roy Halladay pitching as I see my first game out of the US. Should be awesome!

Someone needs to start competing in the NL West, Furcal has been huge for the Dodgers offense. I love watching the Yankees suffer. They are in serious trouble if Hughes does not come back and pitch like a big boy. Why the hell are you going to Toronto?

Gotta see the Skydome on the quest for all stadiums..

SkyDome? What is that? Oh you must mean the Rogers Centre.
