MLB: Heading into Another Weekend of Baseball
Posted on | June 19, 2009 | 1 Comment
Interleague play continues this weekend. I already made my thoughts known about Interleague play yesterday. Looking at the games coming up this weekend, it’s a little tough to get excited about many of the games. But there are some good match-ups.
The Boston Red Sox will take on the Atlanta Braves. The Red Sox, believe it or not, are threatening to open-up a comfortable lead in the American League East. This division looks to be a shootout all year. However, the Red Sox are red-hot right now and the other teams look like they are fading.
The New York Yankees are playing some bad baseball right now. They haven’t really recovered from getting swept by the Red Sox a couple series ago. The Yankees just lost a series to the Washington Nationals. Yes, the Washington Nationals! The same team that is playing under .300 ball and has only won 18 total games this year. 2 of them have been wins over the Yankees.
Actually the Toronto Blue Jays are playing good baseball lately. They’re now just a game behind the Yankees. The Blue Jays now get to play the Nationals and the Yankees have to play the Marlins. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees find themselves behind the Blue Jays when this weekend is over.
Meanwhile, this weekend will probably see the Los Angeles Dodgers go up double digits on the rest of the NL West too. The Dodgers will actually be locked-up with the Anaheim Angels in the best series of the weekend. The Angels are charging hard and have won 6 straight games. The Angels might take over 1st in the AL West too.
If the Detroit Tigers don’t start hitting they might get caught by the Minnesota Twins this weekend. The Tigers have been in 1st place for more than a month but they aren’t hitting the ball. They have a pitcher starting his first game on Saturday and tonight Gallaraga will take the mound and he’s been struggling mightily.
We’ll see what happens…

Ok, its okay that the Yankees have lost a few times, but we still all know that they can’t be defeated! This is the team that has had the Legend himself, Reggie Jackson and with that being said this team will continue to go far. They have the skills and the knowledge to play the game just as well as Reggie jackson, not to mention he is playing in a Legends poker tournament in the Atlantis Bahamas this September. I feel bottom line no one can win them all and Yankees are still on fire!
