Houston and the angels are killing the AL West.

I don't think there is any doubt that its the AL East top to bottom.

See the Central on the rise there?? If you havr a trip where you go to Cleveland, then to Kauffman in KC and finish with that 4 game weekend series at The Copa in Detroit.. well, you're in deep shit, sweetie-- I'll pray for you. People will learn not to take for granted.. (btw, Minny has these stretches of Deduno, Diamond, and Correia that can scare you and the WS rotation is no walk in the park either)

Sure you wanna go against the AL Central??

Texas and Seattle other teams aren't doing much to help either....only 1 ALW team is .500+ vs non ALW teams

Texas: 32-36 (.471) vs non-AL West teams
Seattle: 25-37 (.403)
Oakland 34-27 (.557)

Love the compliments but Diamond is ass. He's also in the minors.

Deduno can scare people though. Wouldn't want to face him in a game you have to win.

Well, maybe I should have just spoken for myself when it comes to Diamond, he scares ME because he's put up some nasty starts against my Tigers, but if he got optioned out, then that's good news to me personally. You have someone else there who worries me.. that PJ Walters guy. And then in your lineup, Mauer is a walking death to Detroit more often then not, plus there's Morneau, and Plouffe too. I don't like playing Minnesota at all..when they're focused they can be a pain in the crotch, and I don't care what anyone says because I KNOW so.
