Baseball Roundup

Well, the Reds only have to finish 21-0 for me to win my over-under bet.  Hey, only 20 more to go.  Also, the Pirates are 5 losses away from their 19th straight losing season.  Not surprisingly, the Phillies, the Yankees and the Red Sox are virtual locks for the playoffs.  Also, not surprisingly, the Indians have collapsed, making the Tigers virtual shoo-ins.  Cliff Lee is on fire again.  Verlander is an amazing 22-5.  Tim Wakefield is starting for the Red Sox tonight, taking another shot at securing his 200th win.  The pennant race looks like a snooze, with the only questions being whether the Rangers blow it and who between the Bosox and the Yankees wins the division.  My money is still on the Phillies to win it all.
