Dave Cameron looked at the previous 365 days of baseball so he could point out how good the A's have been. That is the team Jeff must be watching; they really might just win out the season. I link to it because the Twins have a .430 winning percentage over the past year, which would be a two game improvement over last year if they maintained that through the end of the season. I expected this to be less depressing when I started, oops.

Or, more likely to be watched, the MLB Draft is tonight.

Guthrie
It's nice that the Royals, despite going for it, have returned to being the Royals. B-R has their SRS just behind the Twins: -0.1 versus 0.1. That said, Jeremy Guthrie is going for the Royals.

Playing bad teams is a lot of fun. Fortunately, the Mariners are next.
Kyle Lohse

P.J. Walters
So I hear Lohse is trying to join some elite exclusive club. I am okay with making him wait until next year.

Let's hope Deduno didn't forget his WBC magic tonight.
