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.
