1. I might have expected to see the Nats among the top

back in April. But not the Pirates.

Congrats, Mad.

[madinmaryland]

2. The Pirates have actually been getting some hitting, and their pitching has stayed strong.

We'll see how the second half of the year goes.

3. I like the Bucs, Hurdle is great

Nats-Pirates in the playoffs? What?

[madinmaryland]

6. I'd love it! You would see a lot of heads explode in the Sports Forum

if that happened.

4. And who is the best team in all the majors?

BTW mate in maryland, the traditional date for the end of the first half of the season is the All-Star break. Will your teams still be on top? And how many teams DO you have?

[madinmaryland]

5. Heh...

And you know damn well, I have only one team, unlike you.

How does the "best team in the majors" lose 19-3?

[El Supremo]

Oswalt came apart. Shit happens.

When I saw them play the Nats in May. McCutcheon is amazing!
