As I start my summer vacation for 2012, here are the
baseball standings as of the morning of June 6th.
Beginning in the NL East, the Phillies trail the Washington
Nationals by 5 games with a 28-29 record.
The NL East has been a close contest this year, with all five teams
residing above .500 for a stretch of time.
AL EAST: Tampa and
Baltimore are tied at 31-24; Yankees ½ game back
AL Central: Chicago
White Sox are ½ games in front of Cleveland
AL West: Texas has a
4.5 game lead over LA Angels
NL Central:
Cincinnati has a 2 game lead over Pittsburgh
NL West: Dodgers have
a 4 game lead over Giants.
As we analyze the season so far, we can feel a sense of
dread coming over the current Phillies team because of the injuries. But if we can say that this team is only 5
games out of first place while missing Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. While
having Cliff Lee not register a win as we enter June. While Joe Blanton has suffered through few
so-so starts. With not having the bullpen players pitch like they have in the
past. This team is right there.
