The Milwaukee Brewers dba "Piwowarzy"have taken the NL and the Show by complete surprise as we head into May Hardball. The San Francisco Giants are leading then NL West as they have done it of course from the Bump and a few new faces at the dish. The Oakland Athletics are trying to make it three in a row in the AL West led by again then Arms on the Hill with the Detroit Tigers right there led by Mad Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. How about the Fightin' Fish with the best W-L after a home-cooked meal at 15-5 and two games above the .500 mark.

The Division Leaders
AL East #Os (15-14)...there is only a 1.5 games that separates the #1 Team the Orioles from the #5 team the Blue Jays. That late Free Agent Pick up of OF Nelson Cruz is paying huge dividends as he has 9 HRs and 29 RBIs with a .294 average. The O's just need "Crush" Davis (2 HR 13 RBI .250 avg) and "Adam Bombs" Jones (1 HR 14 RBI .252 avg) to get going.
AL Central #MotorCityKitties (18-9)..they are doing it from the Bump and Imagine that! Verlander, Scherzer, and Rick Porcello are a combined 12-3. "V-Mart" DH Victor Martinez leads with a .323 average and 5 HR and 16 RBI. Miggy Cabrera is at .270 with 2 HR and 19 RBIs and he will get going sooner rather than later it's the "Law off Averages".
AL West #SwinginAs (19-13)...they have a plethora of Arms led by Sonny Gray and Scott Kazmir both 4-1 as they need to get their Captain Save-A-Game on track Luke Gregerson 3 for 6 in saves is not going to cut it! Josh Donaldson (23 RBI) and Brandon Moss (24 RBI) lead the A's Hit Parade.
NL East #NATitude (18-14)...Second Baseman Anthony Rendon (23 RBIs leader) and First Baseman Adam LaRoche ( 5 HR 19 RBI) lead the Offensive Attack with Gio Gonzalez, Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Roark, and Jordan Zimmerman combining for a 9-6 W-L thus far. Braves were 17-7 before this current 7-game losing skid dropping them to 17-14.
NL Central #BrewCrew (22-11)...where do you start at the dish with Carlos Gomez ( 8 HR 20 RBI .292 avg) or A-Ram (4 HR 20 RBI) or even Ryan Braun (6 HR 18 RBI .318 avg). Then you move to the pitching with a Rotation of Lohse , Peralta, Gallardo, Estrada, and Garza combing for 14-7 W-L. Redbirds, Red Legs, and Buccos all in the chase!
NL West #Gigantes (21-11)...They just swept a three game set in Atlanta and won a wild one last night in the 'Burgh 11-10. LF Michael Morse (8 HR 24 RBI) and 1B Brandon Belt (8 HR 14 RBI) lead the Attack with Posey at .292 average 7 HR 17 RBI. Hudson, Bumgarner, Lincecum, Vogelsong, and Cain combining for 10-9 as they have also been doing it with a excellent Bullpen led by Middle Man Jean Machi (5-0) and Captain Save-A-Game Sergio Romo 10/10 saves.
