10 Mo Rivera’s ERA going down.
9 Junior Griffey playing 140+ games for the first time in way too long.
8 Atlanta failing to extend their streak of consecutive division titles but making it to The Series.
7 Adam Dunn challenging his own special record.
6 The Yankees failing to make the playoffs after making some dumb moves at the deadline that don‘t address any of their problems.
5 The ChiSox holding onto the AL Central just beating out the Indians who will finally score some runs for Millwood and Westbrook (is there a less fortunate pitcher in baseball today?).
4 The Angels - They’ve been coasting so far and should wrap up their division in double quick time before they really start to pick it up going into the playoffs. Ominous.
3 Greg Maddux becoming just the second guy to strikeout 3000 while walking less than 1000. Oh, and another year with at least 15 wins.
2 The emergence of several young studs - Pitchers Justin Verlander and Zach Duke have been unleashed on the league and will lay the foundations for great careers. Rickie Weeks is doing it all and Grady Sizemore looks set for Rookie of the Year honours.

Nice to see some kudos for Grady Sizemore on this website! As an Indians fan, I find the lack of recognition players who are doing an excellent job at less glamorous teams get frustrating to say the least. I dead to think how much hype players like Cliff Lee, Victor Martinez, Jhonny Peralta, Grady Sizemore and especially Travis Hafner would be receiving if they played for the Red Sox or Yanquis...
Well you can go anywhere to read about Jeter and Damon whereas I like to think this is a site about the less seen parts of this great game.
The Indians often go un-noticed and they really are going crazy right now.
