Jason Giambi-Tor on the juice "Say it aint so Jason".

With about 50 games to go division races are heating up. I doubt very much that the Tigers will catch the Bluejays but the Tigers are definitely in the wild card hunt. This hunt includes a lot of team such as the Brewers, White Sox and Oakland. The Angels have pushed enough button with trades to forge their way to a 6 game lead out west. The Mets again control their own destiny with a 5.5 game lead over Philadelphia. The same can be said for Houston as they probably won't be caught. That leaves the Phillies and the rest of the NL West chasing the NL wild card spot. Other news; Darren Fletcher-MIL still battling the .400 mark as he sets at .394 for the season. Bagwell and walker are tied with 44 homers for the CJBL lead. The Bluejays Jason Giambi is putting up a career year stat line. Josh Beckett is making a strong case he should have been the #1 pick and not Peavy?

Michael Young-Hou best 2b in the CJBL? .359avg 5hr 29rbi

AL East: The Bluejays continue to hold 1st, with the Tigers back over .500 7gb. Jason Giambi acquired from Philadelphia has been solid with a .320avg and 15hrs for Toronto. AL Central: KC tops the division with a 25-19 record, they have the #1 rated bullpen on the CJBL. AL West: Oakland 7-3 last 10 and under new ownership has caught and passed the slumping Angels. Look for the Mariners to make some big noise in the future as they boast 4 top 10 pitching prospects. NL East: The Mets continue to roll, Tim Hudson moves to 7-1 for the Mets. Cubs slumping and the Phillies are only 2.4 back. NL Central: Reds continue to roll with an 8-2 mark their last 10 games, 35yr old John Smoltz is now 5-0 this season for the Reds. NL West: Padres have won 4 straight but still are 4gb the Astro's.,

Defending champs Philadelphia add rookie Francisco Rodriquez to the their staff.

The AL East: This race should again come down to the Tigers and Bluejays. The rest of the division is in rebuild mode. Look for the Tigers to take the division and the Bluejays to grab the AL Wildcard. The AL Central: The Whitesox should again rule here with the Brewers much closer than last seasons 9.5gb. The AL West: The Angels have enough talent to take the division and it seems the talk of moving A-Rod was just talk. Oakland is past its prime and must re-tool. The NL East: The defending champion Phillies have enough coming back to try for back 2 back titles. The Cubs have been re-cursed. The NL Central: The Reds are the class of the division but the crafty Cardinals could sneak up on them. Montreal is a team in transition. Reds could win 100+ games. The NL West: Padres again no doubt but look for the Giants to edge the Cardinals for the NL Wildcard.
