Both NY teams lead their respective leagues in wins with the same record (97-65)
Atlanta's streak of umpteen playoffs in a row is broken
Florida wins 79 games despite playing nearly all rookies
Welcome back to the playoffs, Detroit Tigers!
Oakland and Minnesota ride strong 2nd halves into the postseason.
Cincinnati had a good run this season before running out of gas down the stretch
Houston began their annual surge about a month too late
Cubs have NL's worst record (65-97)
Tampa Bay (61-101) comes from out of nowhere to snatch the AL's worst record from the Royals (62-100)
Despite the pitching acquitions, Rangers stunk again
Individual Stuff:
Congrats to Ryan Howard on his 58 bombs and 149 RBI. The NL MVP is yours
Roy Oswalt, despite having the 2nd best ERA (2.98) and finishing 1 win behind the leaders in wins (15-8) will get overlooked yet again for the NL Cy Young Award
Johan Santana has the AL's Cy Young nailed down
Good luck choosing the AL's Rookie of the Year award between Verlander, Liriano and Weaver
Things to look for in 2007:
No matter what happens in the 2006 postseason, Yankees will spend more money
The MLB debut of Homer Bailey:)
Craig Biggio will get more love for reaching 3,000 hits than Barry Bonds will for 756 HR
Texas will still be mediocre
Clemens will not come back:thinking:
Minnesota & Oakland will continue to thrive despite being small-market teams
The Cubs will continue to suck
Prior & Wood will suffer injuries
Minnesota will win the World Series
