Baseball Musings

The Dog Days of Summer started early in So Cal. The heat and humidity rival that I experienced growing up in St. Louis. So how do my Cardinals help me through it? By going into the tank and losing 8 in a row to the powerful AL Central teams. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Luckily, the Angel fans who populate this blog have no capital to spend rubbing it in, as their own team has also tanked.

However, because of the wild card, just about every team in baseball not named the Pirates or Royals has ambitions for the playoffs. Sort of messes up trade scenarios when teams who would be sellers are standing pat.

Don't look now, but Joe Mauer of the Twins has a legitimate shot at .400.

Speedy recovery to Peter Gammons, who just had brain surgery for an aenurism. Peter is a chowd who brings intelligence to the often unwatchable ESPN.
