- What's with all the crappy teams doing really well? The Orioles with a 6 game win streak? KC is tied with CHISox for First? Florida leading the NL East? Seriously, i know we're only a week and change in, but this is some freaky shit.
- What's with all the supposedly good teams doing terribly? I mean, obviously there's the Tigers, but there's also the Yankees and Red Sox at 500, the Mariners (granted, not a GREAT team, but still...), Indians under 500, Mets in last place, Rockies under 500. Either I'm awful at picking the winners, or we're in for a wickedly interesting season.
- There are some startlingly good rookie performances so far - Cueto with Cincy, McLouth in Pittsburgh, Justin Upton (not technically a rookie, but still), Fukuodome in Chicago... i'm noticing a trend... National League seems to be nice to rookies. BS has decided to remind me that Joba Chamberlain is actually a rookie, and he's doing very well (4 IP, 1 hit, 1 walk, 4 k's)
- Veterans doing badly - Alfonso Soriano, Adam Dunn, Giambi, Johjima, etc. Some seriously crappy stats.
So what does all this mean? It means that we're ONE WEEK IN! I am just as bad as all people here - 6 months w/o baseball makes us all jump all over these early results. Ups and downs, hills and valleys, people. Here's an idea - talk to me in a month, we'll see where we're at then.
