With the All-Star break coming tomorrow, it's officially our last day of the first half of the season. So, let's look back on the Central before things close up. Who would've expected that the Brewers and the Twins would be the leaders in the Central? Both teams are holding their good starts from April, which shows that they are serious contenders. Now, the second half is still long and gruelling but they already have a good start that other teams lacked. Maybe the Cubs can get themselves together by the time the second half since the first half has only been mediocre for them. They still have last year's key players and they very much could be back in the postseason, so don't count them out just yet. Speaking of last year's World Series, how about the Indians? They are very similar to the Cubs in how they are doing just enough to compete with their division. They still could turn on the jets and then find themselves in the postseason and beyond, but they will face tougher competition (especially in the East). The Central may look much more different by the time the season ends, but for now let's cherish what it looks like for these teams. Who knows, we may laugh at this someday. Leave a Reply. |
