AL HAPPENINGS at the BREAK in "WORD Around the WARNING TRACK"...The AL West is the real Race as the Charm City O's and the Motor City KITTIES try and separate in the 2nd half....#ALPennantBusiness2K14

The American League is all about the heated AL West Race that has two teams battling it out for MLB's best W-L. Then on top of all that the Mariners are eight games back at 51-44. The A's and Angels are in a dead heap as they are both running through the Junior Circuit like the 1995-96 Bulls running through that 82-game trek (72-10).  It will come down to which teams staff will stay the course in the AL West. Both the A's and Halos Line Ups are loaded with a Who is Who across the Board. Starting Pitching and Defense down the stretch will decide!

The AL Central is all Motor City Kitties and just three weeks ago the Kansas City Royals led the Central for a whole two days. Now as we go to press the Motor City Kitties got hot late in June into July and lead the Royals by 6.5 with the Tribe back 7.5 and both the Pale Hose and Twinkies 10.5 games back.

Charm City Orioles get hot in June and overtake what would have been a surprise in the AL East the Blue Birds of Toronto. The 'Jays have cooled off considerably as Ace Mark Buerhle as en fuego all the way up to early June. The O's have done it with timely hitting and the Free Agent Pick Up of 2014 in OF Nelson Cruz 28 HRs (2nd AL) 74 RBIs (2nd AL). Can the 'Jays and Yanks both four and five out make a run in the 2nd half? Yanks will not have either C.C. or Tanaka. The Carmines and Rays are both 9.5 back as the Rays have made up considerable ground in June.
