Two weeks remain in the MLB regular season. Many teams are being eliminated from the pennant chase, while others are fighting like mad to make the postseason. Meanwhile, the Longball League is still a tight race.
The SV Coachwhips are holding onto an 18 point lead as the Invisible Hands are hot on their heels. Meanwhile, the Tax Dodgers are making a run down the stretch as well. The last two weeks will be exciting ones.
This week's Three Things From The Major Leagues...
One, The Tampa Bay Rays have put a huge scare into the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox are feeling like it's 1978 all over again.
Two, the Angels look like they were given a TKO from the AL West race by losing two of three games at lowly Baltimore. Well, maybe not a TKO, but certainly a standing eight count.
Three, Justin Verlander is gonna win 25 games this year. WOW!!!!!
Trivia: as Justin Verlander looks to be on the verge of a 25 win season. Here's a look back at Baseball's last 25 game winner. Back in 1990, Bob Welch of the Oakland A's won 27 games. He finished the year at 27-6 with a 2.95 ERA.
Baseball Card of the Week: In honor of his 27 wins in 1990, here's a look at Bob Welch's 1990 Topps card.
Until next week folks, remember that Vernon Wells is still hitting just .219!
