Have you guys noticed the complete cluster going on in the Ueker? Sweets, Argonauts, Brewers, and Rainiers are all tied for 1st at 6-7 with the Cutty's one game back at 5-8. This is bringing up memories of last year. Does anyone want to take control of this division?

Honorable Mention #1:
Cache Hogs beat the ACL's 1-0. These two teams are commonly predicted to win the Caray, although the Devils are sitting in 1st place. Anyway, Cahill and a trio of RP combined on the 3-hit shutout. Trout (who else) singled in the 6th, stole 2nd, and scored on a Dickerson double. Trout is batting .326/.446/.630 with 3 HR and 3 SB so he's definitely in the MVP race. But he finished 7th in this GIG cycle to kudos to whoever said no to that question.

Honorable Mention #2:
We have a .400 race going on.
Jose Ramirez (Kraken) - .407/.448/.722
Justin Turner (Dogs) - .396/.491/.583
Bryce Harper (Koi) - .390/.561/.683
plus 3 more above .380

side note - remember a couple years ago we had a discussion on the 2b splurge in FA? Even though Ramirez has moved to 3b he's far outshined everyone else on that list. What a signing by the Kraken. Shaking my head that I signed Dozier instead of Ramirez...

side note #2 - Harper was the player who actually lead the league in OBP, not Trout...

So much for the Rum Runners getting some home cookin'. After seeing the last few games still on the road, I looked at the schedule. 21 straight road games!

I guess that means that if we can figure things out at Fenway, we'll have something going for the second-half. As for the Kraken, don't get too comfortable at the top.
