My 2 cents.....

At the end of BK-2 lets take a look around the NASBL. We will start with the Taste Great Division. SOUTH

Their are so many things that could be said tongue in cheek about the South. We are going to take the high road. OK how about this-- 1st team to 74 victories wins the Division.

TTB leads the division with a 49-56 record. They are tied with HHA with a League Leading team BA of .296. TTB is lead by the duo of OF Matt Holiday .347ba/30hr/76rbi and young slugging 1B Ryan Howard .285ba/37hr/92rbi. The Achilles heal for TTB is their pitching. They have team era of 5.89. Chris Young is 11-5, 5.26era & Gil Meche is 10-7 5.97era. Stopper Akinori Otsuka is 3-5, 3.93era, but has 18 saves. TTB needs to out slug their opponents to win the division.

NJT is in second place 6 games behind in the South with 43-62 record. They closely mirror TTB with a team BA of .293 but a league worst 6.14era. J.Damon .326ba/18hr/63rbi, A.Rodriquez .307
ba/19hr/77rbi and R. Sexson .291ba/27hr/82rbi our doing their part in leading NJT in hitting. The very un-NJT perforamnce is the pitching staff. Future HOF R.Johnson is only 6-8 with a 4.64era [very un-Johnson-isk]. J.Bonderman is 10-10 with a 5.78era and F.Cordero is 2-4-18saves and a 5.35era. No pitcher on the staff has an era under 4.50!

OJW is in third place 7 games out with a record of 43-64. The hitting is lead by M.Ramirez .281ba/25hr/67 rbi, J.Bay
.260ba/29hr/70rbi, having a bit of a slow start are A.Soriano
.242 however with 28hr/77rbi and A.Ramirez with.234ba/22hr/57hr.
The problem for the Whales is their pitching. Youngster's Jake Peavy is 8-8, 4.53era and Scott Kamir 7-4, 4.19 are doing their part but veterans Tim Hudson 4-10, 5.80era and Andy Pettitte 6-10, 6.44era. The vets need to turn things around to 'Make my Day' for OJW fans.

GRK the Defending Champs find themselves with a record 40-67. GRK started rebuilding when they traded All-World Roger Clemens and J.Dye to SPL for OF Alex Rios and P Noah Lowry. Then they traded Jason Scmidt and Y. Torrealba and GRK 5th in 2008 to MSU for Joe Crede, Chris Britton and MSU 2nd in 2008. Valdy Guerrero is having
a monster year hitting .362/33hr/94rbi. Valdy said "Me kno care what front office do, me here to pla beezsball"!
