The Red Sox, the Blue Jays, and the LA Dodgers -- The Teams to Beat

Okay, so what do the Boston Red Sox, the LA Dodgers, and the Toronto Blue Jays have in common? Right now these three teams have the biggest leads in the division with the Red Sox trailing Toronto by only 1/2 game. This interesting threesome has the MLB all turned around: we have Seattle in first; Oakland, who is supposed to be awesome, in last place. The Kansas City Royals are in first place…let me repeat that, the KC Royals and Cleveland, who I picked to go to the playoffs, are in last place. You have Florida giving NY (Mets) and Philly a run for their money. (But the Mets are going on a run of their own which, I believe, was expected.) And finally, we have St. Louis in first because A. Puljuos is on fire, and where is Chicago? But, as every die-hard Red Sox fan knows, this is just the beginning of the baseball season and things can and will change. But right now the Red Sox are amazing. Bay has been single-handedly winning games for the team; he just kills the ball. And we cannot overlook the fact that Dice and Youk have been out, and Beckett and Ortiz have been off. When everyone is up to speed we are going to be the team to beat. Dice-K is supposed to be back in about a week; Youk is supposed to be ready for Wednesday's game. And last night I think I saw Ortiz starting to come around, and Beckett won't be off for long. So get ready for an intense baseball season. Sox Nation rules.
