A Look Back

It's On My Calendar

Rays Schedule

The Rays have won 6 straight and lead the Yankees by 5 1/2 games
The Rays are 41 - 18 at home
Both Boston and NYY have a much better runs differential than the Rays
The Brewers are 74-44 and are projected to finish the season with the best record in either league.

Rooting For These Playoff Bound Teams In This Order

Tampa Bay Rays - This team consistently contends each year despite having one of the lowest payrolls. They've never won a world series. They are exceptionally good at developing players, they find players other teams overlook: The Rays develop a player → he becomes good → his salary eventually becomes expensive → they trade him for several young players/prospects → they develop those players → repeat.
Milwaukee Brewers- 19th in payroll, never won a world series in their 57 seasons. They develop pitching extremely well, They are willing to trade their stars, Their farm system keeps replenishing the major-league roster, They are excellent at finding talent other teams don't value highly,.
Chicago White Sox - 27th in payroll, haven't won a world series in 20 years, Big surprise this year after going 60-102 last year.
Boston Red Sox - Big comeback, 37-48 on July 1, in last place 14 games out.
Chicago Cubs - Wrigley Field and their fans are interesting -only 3 world series titles: 1907, 1908, and 2016
Texas Rangers - only one world series title (2023)
Arizona Diamondbacks - surprised their payroll is as high as it it.
Houston Astros- they have built a good organization though I really don't care to see them in the post season again in the near future
Philadelphia Phillies - They're in Pennsylvvania
Atlanta Braves - I dislike them less than the Yankees and Dodgers
New York Yankees - I dislike them less than the Dodgers.
Los Angeles Dodgers - whoever they play, I am rooting for the other team.

ESPN's Top Players of Yesterday

Players of the Week

Rafaela has garnered attention for his defense through his first four big league seasons, but he made headlines with his bat last week as he batted .419 (13-for-31) with an MLB-best five home runs.

Alcantara came up big twice for the Marlins to keep them in the NL Wild Card hunt. He tossed seven innings in a 1-0 shutout of the Phillies on Tuesday and followed that up with six scoreless innings against the Mets on Sunday.
