You have the Brewers winning a wild-card spot, not the Cardinals...yet STL makes it to the World Series.

I've taken a big step back in my baseball fanaticism this past year, so I won't post the whole standings, but I will say this:
The Twins win the AL Central because they're just better than CLE.  The Indians are messing around too much and it's going to bite them this year.
The Dodgers will win a 7th straight NL West crown, even without Kershaw contributing a lot.  
The Padres still won't matter.
The NL East will have 4 teams with at least 80 wins, and none with more than 90.
The Angels will matter in September.

WS Pick:
no clue
Yankees d. Dodgers

Indeed, meant to have Cardinals 2nd, Brewers 3rd.

Well, the Dodgers had a decent start.....8 HRs, lol.  I'd love it if Joc Pederson could hold down a permanent spot in the OF.

Chris Davis now at 44 straight hitless at bats, 2 away from the major league record.  This after setting the record last year for lowest average by a qualified player, at .168.

Oh, and he's not even halfway through his 7 year, $161 million contract.

It's odd, because his previous down year before the contract was supposedly a vision thing, which was then corrected, resulting in a big year.  If i'm BAL, i'm suing the eye doctor.

I thought maybe it was a start of the year thing, but I missed when they announced in December that Sunday Night Baseball was moving up to 7:00.  That is a very welcome change.  It's usually a good game, and that crew is probably the best crew ESPN has for any sport, but I'm not going to stay up until 11:30 on Sunday night to watch a random baseball game.  Many more Sunday Night games for me this year.

Weird situation.  Torres hit a ball that was going to clear the fence, but Alex Gordon had his glove up and had a chance, but a fan reached out and touched the ball.  Clearly interference, but what do you call?  It would have been a really tough play for Gordon to pull it back, but you can't just stop the play at the moment the fan touched it, because the ball was going to clear.  Umps called HR live, overturned to an out, assuming Gordon would have made the web gem catch.  Boone got tossed arguing.

Unless the ball was like halfway in his glove already, that should have been called a HR.  I believe the rule is that fans can only interfere as the ball is "in play" as in - in the playing area.  If a fan prevents a player from catching the ball past the wall, then it's not interference, only if the fan reaches over the wall into the playing field is it interference.

true, and I would like to see fans areas set up so that they cannot reach to interfere with the ball in play
