Well the first three or four games have been played and this year is nothing out of the ordinary for the first week’s results. All the crappy teams (with the exxception of the Met’s, who are 4-0) are in first place. Let’s look at the Devil Rays, they have never once finished a season out of last place and they are in first right now. That will last one more game.
This one’s the funniest, the Reds and Pirates are tied for first.
The first week always looks like this, and this is why baseball has more than 16 games like football. If baseball had a mere 16 games, the truly great teams would be nnothing special. Baseball plays ten times that number, and that is what seperartes baseball from every other sport. Baseball teams get 18 off days during the season, that’s it. Football gets six every week, and don’t forget about the biweek.
Also, baseball is the only sport not dominated by time, as are football, soccer, (futbol, ¡FUTBOL!) basketball, hockey, and any racing sport.
This post doesn’t have much of a theme, just getting it out there that baseball is by far my favorite sport.
