NBA hurry up!

   I am back again for some more sports blogging.  To inform you on some more Major League Baseball.  Sadly the basketball season still has not started!  But is getting closer every single day.
   As of today, September 28 2010 there are 5 games left this season before the playoffs actually start.  The New York Yankees who were leading last week by on and a half games are now trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by one game.  The two teams played a four game series last week, and they split it 2-2, letting the Rays take a lead.  The AL Central has been decided for quite some time, with the Twins with the second best record in the MLB with 92 wins.  They are also nine games up on the Chicago White Sox.  So the central is set.  As for the AL west, the Texas Rangers who are still stacked on offense are heading into the playoffs with ease.
   Now for the National League, the Cincinnati Reds who destroyed through all their Central division opponents.  They are now six games up in their division leaving the St. Louis Cardinals trailing behind them.  All of the Reds players are healthy and ready for the playoffs.  The NL East has spread alot farther by a six game margin.  The Philadelphia Phillies are leading this division, behind them are the Atlanta Braves who made a good run for it but the Phillies are just to deep.

  The NL West is still coming right down to it.  The Colorado Rockies are out of it but the San Diego Padres and the San Fransisco Giants are still battling for first place.  With the Giants leading by one game.
   This is just a brief update about what is going on in the professional baseball world.  Each day is getting closer and closer to the World Series and also the start of the NBA season.  So tune in next week for another sports recap and hopefully some basketball news finally!

Playoffs here we come......almost

     I am back again for some more sports blogging.  To inform you on some more Major League Baseball.  Sadly the basketball season still has not started!  But is getting closer every single day.
     As of today, September 21, 2010 there are 12 games left this season before the playoffs and World Series start.  The New Yankees who are still leading their division by one and a half games up on the Tampa Bay Rays.  The Rays have to get in the swing of things for the last 12 games of the season if there going to have any chance of catching the Yankees.  The AL Central is set with the Minnesota Twins leading, up by eleven games on the Chicago White Sox.  There is no way the White Sox can catch up to the Twins.  As for the AL west, the Texas Rangers who have an amazing offensive team are eight games up, but they are heading into the playoffs without their best hitter Josh Hamilton.

      Now for the  National League, the Chicago Cubs are way to far out of the Central division.  The St.Louis Cardinals are trailing seven and a half games in behind the Cincinnati Reds, who are going into the playoffs at ease.  The NL East has spread alot farther by a five game margin.  The Philadelphia Phillies are leading this division, behind them are the Atlanta Braves who made a good run for it but the Phillies are just to deep.  The NL West is coming right down to it,  with the San Francisco Giants leading by the a half game in front of the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies are only one and a half games out.  This division is all up for grabs, it will be decided by the team that wants to play the best ball.
      This is just a brief update about what is going on in the professional baseball world.  Each day is getting closer and closer to the World Series and also the start of the NBA season.  So tune in next week for another sports recap and hopefully some basketball news finally!

Closer to the end of September

     I am back for a second week of blogging.  To inform you on some more Major League Baseball.  Sadly the basketball season has not started!  But oh well, baseball is still one of my favorite sports.
     As of today, September 13, 2010 there are 19 games left this season before the playoffs and World Series start.  The New Yankees who were leading their division one and a half games up on the Tampa Bay Rays are now only a half game up.  The young- talented Rays have had a good stretch wining five out of ten games to help them almost get into that number one spot.  As for the other teams in this division, the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Baltimore Orioles they have run out of time leaving it a tight race between the Yankees and Rays.  The AL Central is pretty much set with the Minnesota Twins leading, up by six games on the Chicago White Sox.  As for the AL west, the Texas Rangers who have an amazing offensive team are eight and a half games up, they are heading into the playoffs on a good note.
     Now for the  National League, the hometown favorites, the Chicago Cubs are getting destroyed in the Central division.  The St.Louis Cardinals are trailing six games in behind the Cincinnati Reds, who no one thought would be leading.

The NL East is alot closer than the Central, the Philadelphia Phillies are leading by one game to the injury proned Atlanta Braves.  This one will be a fight to the finish!  The NL West is also like that too, as the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, and the Colorado Rockies all battle to win their division.
     This is just a brief update about what is going on in the professional baseball world.  Each day is getting closer and closer to the World Series and also the start of the NBA season.  So tune in next week for another sports recap.

Race to the playoffs begins

     For my first blog entry, I will be telling you about the standings of the MLB. I will be informing you about the updates in professional Baseball.  I will not only be talking about baseball, but also basketball.  Once the sports change then you will be getting your basketball information.  Baseball is just now starting to wind on down with the playoffs and World Series about to start.  As for basketball, that will be starting shortly.
      As of today, September 7, 2010, there are 23 games left to be played.  The team with the best record in baseball, the Yankees (my favorite team) are not only leading their division with wins, but the hole American League.  Leading them to victory, is their ace pitcher CC Sabathia with an outstanding record of 19-5.  The "Bronx Bombers" are one and a half games up on the young, talented Tampa Bay Rays.  Many baseball fans did not think that this team could ever put up a fight against the Yankees.  The rest of the division leaders are ahead by a good margin, the Minnesota Twins are four and a half games up in the Central.

  The West is also a solid margin, the Texas Rangers with a large six and a half game lead.
     Now for the National League, the East which is always a good race is close just like it always is.  The Philadelphia Phillies are in first but are in a good battle with their rivals, the Atlanta Braves who are only a half game back out of first place.  This division will be a good one, all the way down to the end.  They don't call it the wild wild west for no reason, the San Diego Padres are in first place for the first time in over thirty years!  They are lead by ace pitcher Mat Latos and power hitting first basemen Adrian Gonzalez.  No one was expecting the padres to be beating the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Colorado Rockies.  Now for the most popular division around the state of Illinois, the Central Division. This includes the rivalry of the Chicago Cubs vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.  The cubs are burried down in fourth place while the Cards are in second, trailing six games to the young Cincinnati Reds team.
     This is just a brief update about what is going on in the professional baseball world.  Alot can happen in 23 games and the race to the playoffs/World Series should be an exciting one.  So tune in next week for my next update about the MLB world.
