To no Surprise PHILS have MLB Best 23-11 Record......To everyones surprise TRIBE leads AL at 22-11.......2011 MLB MAY Report

After the Fightin' PHILS put that pitching staff together there is no explaining why the PHILS have a League leading 23 Wins and only 11 losses. If any team in the BIGS can out Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, Blanton, and Lee..........you should be on the top and should easily cross the 100-Win mark for the season.

The Surprise in MLB this season and I know it's early MAY.........the Cleveland INDIANS with a steady 22-11 and playing excellent baseball and getting timely hitting to go with some surprise Starting pitching. There is no one guy who jumps out at you on their roster but names like SIZEMORE, HAFNER, KEARNS, and Orlando CABRERA are solid BAseball Players as well as Clubhouse Leaders.

The TRIBE Starting Pitching is 13-6 with Justin MASTERSON leading the way at 5-0 with a 2.11 ERA and 34 K's and only 13 Walks. Put all that good starting pitching with a Up and Coming Closer in Chris PEREZ with 10 saves in 11 Opportunitites.......the TRIBE might be well on their way to a Good Summer and bot do the People in Cleveland need a Sports team to step up.

The YANKS and the RAYS are ties u at the TOP of the AL East with the BOSOX just 3.5 back and closing. If the BLUEDUDE had to pick a AL East winner I would probably go with the RAYS slightly because I like their Pitching a little bit more than the PINSTRIPES.

The RED SOX on the other hand have plenty of Offensive Firepower but lack enough Depth in the 3-5 Starters to make real noise down the stretch. They have best Line-up in the AL EAST and if they can get some over average starting pitching .........LOOKOUT.

The BALTIMORE Orioles have cooled off a bit by losing their last 6 out of 10 games but they are headed in the right direction with all that young talent and Buck SHOWALTER leading that Clubhouse.

The LA ANGELS of Anaheim........that;s how they say it right?........have the American Leagues Best Pitcher in Jared WEAVER and have enough FIREPOWER to win the AL WEST. The RANGERS have cooled off and the ATHLETICS look like they are going now here either but hanging around the TOP of the Division.

The RANGERS need Josh HAMILTON back in the middle of that Line-Up....and the HALOS need more Offense at times.......these are my 2 favorites for the AL WEST Crown.

So much for the Albert PUJOLS Contract Show.........Tell opposing Pitchers that ALBERT is worried about his MONEY and they will tell you........."YEAH RIGHT......CAN'T TELL". The CARDS have used the pieces around ALBERT to make a steady climb to the top of the NL CENTRAL. One must wonder though when does the loss of Pitcher Adam WAINRIGHT go into efFect. I think the CARDS will cool off middle late summer and the RED LEGS of CINCY will repeat.

DUSTY BAKER and his BOYS keep playing solid bit not stellar ball but take in consideration it is only Mid-MAY. Reigning NL MVP Joey VOTTO is still pretty steady and the REDS Pitching for the most part will keep them in the RACE all season long.

The Surprise TEAM in the NL CENTRAL is......DON'T LOOK NOW.......the BUCS.......Yeah them BUCS........No they are not the "WE are FAMILY" PIRATES but they are cooking a little something in PITTSBURGH P A .........STAY TUNED.

LAst but not least the TROY TULOWITSKI Show is an expensive one but to keep the Face of the ROCKIES in Uniform for the next 8-10 years is important and he is a dynamic BALLplayer.

He is a clone of Todd HELTON in a sense that they would never want to play anywhere else but COLORADO and that want and enthusiasm exudes right through the ROCKIES Clubhouse and Organization.

the ROCKIES lead the NL WEST by 1.5 over the defending WORLD CHAMPION SF GIANTS who will be in the MIX all season as well as the BOYS in BLUE.........the DODGERS.......if they could ever get the Financial Mess straight that the DODGERS and Frank MCCOURT, the OWNER of the DODGERS, are currently in.
