Thank You LA

For breaking the redundancy....well its still redundant..but atleast one series is over...heres what I picked up from the LA/Utah series

-Deron Williams is going to be a real issue for the league..there is only so long before you can leave him off the season lists...its going to take Utah beating New Orleans in the playoffs sadly to get his due

-Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant..when Utah made that run in the 4th...Kobe wasnt in the game..but once he came back into the game...that was it..everyone knew what was coming..and he did it..in that aspect...I'll compare him to Mike...thats the only reason.

Interleague started yesterday!....happy?....I know I am...

It gives the fans the chance to see out of market teams and old rivalries...its always a nice thing...here are rankings of the best and worst interleague matchups

Best
-LA Dodgers at LA Angels-Yes I know Anaheim isnt LA...and I also know that the Angels are trying to tap into the Los Angeles market by naming their team the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim...but actually these are 2 pretty good teams right now...easily a rivalry quality of California

-Detroit at Arizona-Detroit has had a slow start..I got that...but they still have one of the most potent lineups in the league..both leagues...and guess who has the 2nd lowest ERA,the lowest walk ratio and lowest posted WHIP?....yep..Arizona...enjoy.

-New York at New York-Okay...I'll bite...I've never been one to go with the phrase since it happens in New York the world has to care...but when Johan Santana,Jose Reyes and Derek Jeter are involved in a game...it would be a little hard to pass on

Worst

-Pittsburgh at Chicago Cubs-This has to be the worst one simply because they are in the same division!...there is no inter-anything here...and since my friend Brad said (http://bradsportsfix.blogspot.com/) in the NL Central and in the AL West there isnt balance of teams...one has 4..and the other has 6...every other division has 5..hey MLB...lets make that happen.huh?

-Kansas City at Florida-If you're a resident of Miami or any place around there...how can you be sold on this matchup?...can you name anyone of the Royals?...and if you can....why?...no one shows up to the games with good matchups...this is a bad matchup...so..no one will show up..

-San Diego at Seattle-This one hurt...but according to the standings..this is a matchup of 16-27 teams...gross..the Padres cant hit..and Safeco is a pitchers park...but oh yeah..Seattle's hitting is iffy every other day as well...I'm interested..but no one else is..
