All is not right in the baseball world. The Mets are tied for the best record in baseball, Barry Bonds has 2 less homers then Bronson Arroyo, the Braves are below .500, the Rockies are tied for first place, and the Yankees are in last place with only the Royals having less wins in the American League.

Well at least Ken Griffy Jr. is on the disabled list so we have something normal happening this season.

How wild is this year? The Mets can hit, and the Reds can pitch. That’s never happened in the same year in baseball. Detroit & Baltimore have winning records; Minnesota & Oakland have losing records. If it weren’t for the fact that Nomar started the season on the disabled list along with 40% of the Cubs rotation I’d think we were living in a Bizzarro World.

Is this it? The end time for baseball? According to Forbes The Devil Rays turned a profit while the Yankees lost 50 million. If that’s not a sign of the Apocalypse, I don’t know what is.

5 Random Thoughts

– Which was the bigger illusion, the Rangers being a good Hockey team or the Devils being a mediocre one? We’ll find out this week.

– Albert Pujols has 1000 hits in a very short career. Tons of homers too. Is he on ‘roids, or did major league pitchers just stop taking them? Maybe he just is that good.

– When the Jets are on the clock next Saturday, if there’s more than one QB available we’ll pick Ken O’Brian and not Dan Marino. Could be worse, we could pick Richard Todd.

– Byrd v. Klitschko for the heavyweight championship of the world! It’s not quite Ali / Frazier. Face it, it’s not even as good as Terrible Tim Witherspoon v. Frank Bruno.

– Bonds can’t blame old age for his lack of power when Julio Franco crushes one over the right field wall at age 83.
