With a month to go, we hold a 3 1/2 game lead over the Reds, which is the closest division race, unfortunately. The Yankees, Rangers and Phils seem to be on their way to the playoffs.
The Reds suffered a blow when league leading hitter Mike Greenwell did in his hamstring and he is out the rest of the regular season, that's going to be a huge hole to fill as we are 100% healthy.
Sigler is still on a pace for 70 home runs for the Phils, he just crushed 2 of them off Bill Gullickson as we split 4 pretty exciting games between likely playoff opponents.
The draft pool was announced with Jim Edmonds, Reggie Sangers, Delino DeShields and Kenny Lofton looking like the top guys this year.
On a sad note, my guy Bert Blyleven was released by the Angels as his ERA was above 5, they ate 1 year and over $2 million to let him go. I offered him a minor league deal if he can't get anything else. He's 8 wins shy of 250.
