A somewhat weather-delayed look at the first installment of how the teams are looking at various mileposts of the season. This first version shows where all teams stood as of their 10th games. Mets 7 - 3 Braves 7 - 3 Marlins 6 - 4 Phillies 2 - 8 Nationals 2 - 8 ======== ====== Brewers 6 - 4 Reds 6 - 4 Cardinals 5 - 5 Astros 4 - 6 Pirates 4 - 6 Cubs 4 - 6 ======== ====== Dodgers 7 - 3 D'Backs 7 - 3 Padres 6 - 4 Rockies 5 - 5 Giants 3 - 7 The AL chart is still waiting for the Mariners to get their 10th game in.

AL: Blue Jays 6 - 4 Red Sox 6 - 4 Yankees 5 - 5 Orioles 4 - 6 Devil Rays 4 - 6 ======== ====== Tigers 6 - 4 Twins 6 - 4 Indians 6 - 4 White Sox 5 - 5 Royals 3 - 7 ======== ====== Angels 6 - 4 Rangers 5 - 5 Mariners 5 - 5 A's 4 - 6

Scary that Rodriguez has nine home runs and twenty three RBI in thirteen games,and the yankees are only 5 - 5.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 19 2007 08:12 AM

More proof that he sucks. Boy, it would be great if he was in Anaheim or the South Side of Chicago next year.

Time for the 25-Game check-up, which is already over-due as some of the info is several days out of date, but I'll throw it up here now and not wait around for the Mariners to get to their 25th game.

I thought Toronto were supposed to be better than this...13-18 and last place....

Well, the NL teams have all now reached the quarter-pole of the season (several AL teams still lagging).

Looks like the 7, 9, 10 & 12 run games of the past couple of weeks are chipping away the ERA leadership.

I'll take it. So would any of us, if we were offered it going into the season.

NL teams have now all reached the 1/3 mark of the season (54 games). This is the first spot where I like to look at full-season projections - both good and bad - so I pick one for each team to have some fun with. (All records and projections are as they were at each team's 54th game). Mets 35 - 19 Reyes - 6 HRs, 24 triples Braves 31 - 23 Tim Hudson - 253 IPs Marlins 26 - 28 Dan Uggla - 102 Extra-base hits Phillies 26 - 28 Chase Utley - 66 Doubles Nationals: 22 - 32 Jesus Flores - 123 ABs, 30 Hits, 12 Doubles Brewers: 30 - 24 Cecil Fielder - 54 Hrs Cardinals: 24 - 30 Eckstein - 522 PA, 18 Ks Pirates 23 - 31 Zack Duke - 198 IP, 295 Hits allowed Cubs: 23 - 31 Soriano 18 Hrs Astros: 22 - 32 Lance Berkman - 552 ABs, 3 Doubles Reds: 21 - 33 Adam Dunn - 210 Ks Dodgers: 32 - 22 Takashi Saito - 71 IP, 45 Hits, 48 Saves Padres: 31 -23 Jake Peavy 241 IP, 184 Hits allowed D'Backs: 31 - 23 Livan Hernandez - 219 IP, 102 BBs Giants: 26 - 29 Barry Bonds - 36 HRs, 770 Career Rockies: 25 - 29 Todd Helton - 183 Hits, 123 BBs, .457 OBP

Good work. I wonder how many homers Cecil would hit if he were Prince's age.

Frayed Knot Jun 06 2007 02:08 PM

Edgy DC wrote: I wonder how many homers Cecil would hit if he were Prince's age. I dunno, but Prince could have 100 career HRs under his belt before turning 24 (next May - he has 50 right now). Ryan Howard doesn't even have 100 yet and he's almost 28. A-Rod had approx 125 at birthday 24.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 06 2007 03:01 PM

Cool stuff, LF. Lance Berkman's start has been strange. .722 OPS and 45 K's already. Tim Hudson's fast start strange, too, but strange because he was kicking ass seemingly out of nowhere. But 4.35 ERA in May and rocked in his first start in June, he might be coming back to earth. Prince popped another one today. On pace for 57 now.

Willets Point Jul 05 2007 10:54 AM

I like the look of those final standings. I guess the Mets would play the Padres in the NLDS. I can't imagine the Mets winning 92 games at this point though. I expect 85 wins top although it looking like that's enough to win the Division of Suck.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2007 11:11 AM

Judging by these mid-term results, it's kind of tough to label the NL East as the 'Division of Suck'. The end-of-season projections show the divisions to finish the year at*: NL West = +42 (games above .500 as a division) AL West = +40 AL Central = +26 NL East = -10 AL East = -22 NL Central = -68 * The totals don't exactly "zero out" here due to some teams having played a few games over the 81-game mark

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2007 07:44 AM
