BASEBALL FANS - The 2nd Half Thread
Alright, I know there's got to be a few baseball fans on here. I'm curious to know what everyone's predictions are for the 2nd half of the season.
Some big individual storylines are out there:
- Pujols pursuit of the Triple Crown
- My guy Joe Mauer's pursuit of another batting title
- Dominance of Tim Lincecum (except for the AS game  )
- Any potential Roy Halladay trade, assuming a team has a King's ransom (and a King's pursestrings) to make it happen
- Will Pedro Martinez propel the Phillies?
Plus lots and lots of others.
What are you guys watching for in the next half?
(Go Twins!)

Will be hoping the Rockies can hang in there for a run at the wildcard otherwise the city of Denver will lose interest in a few weeks as Broncos training camp starts up.

I am hoping the Yankees can take command of the AL East. They are known for their strong 2nd half play. I am also very interested in what is going on with Halladay.
Sorry Mets fans, but I am also looking forward to more AA bloopers to rub your faces in!

As for A-Rod, you are correct- I don't like him. While I don't think any baseball player is worth their high salary, the other Yankees are playing better. Yankees are only 3 games out of 1st and they play much better after the All-Star break. I am not too worried yet.

Dude,you are a chicken little;I say at least 6-10 since they've never lost more than 11 games in the last 25 years. My guess is 8-8 even with a tough schedule;the Broncos are a big ? but they will also be a mystery to their opponents too.
