Believe It or Not, There Are Teams in the National League Other Than the Dodgers
Greetings (again) of the sports office somewhere under the main bridge of the good red hacker ship. In our previous article, we have thought of imported questions in the playoffs concerning the American League. Do not neglect the national league, of course …
Sammy The Shark and Karl The Kraken are so cute when they think they help.

Anyway, a look at the National League. Starting to the east, someone apparently forgot to tell New York Mets only when you put your rival division of some $ 51 million, you are not supposed to participate in a game in September six games behind them. Not that the phillies of Philadelphia pinch the cents en route to the division championship; Their total payroll of $ 288 million is fourth in the major league baseball. But again.
It is suspected that it can be close, if not in fact, a last Hourra for the phillies in his quest for after-season glory. Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber are 32 years old, an age at which the minor injuries of the call can and are transformed in the derailleurs of the season. It is certainly not necessary to panic, but Philadelphia must certainly keep the foot on the pedal. As for the dishes, they are currently holding the last place of the Joker, which, although certainly preferable to the 29 Rockie games in Colorado, cannot be what Mr. and Mrs. Met had in mind when the season started.
In the center, although the Brewers of Milwaukee have to a certain extent dropped to Earth after a long section of post-store match with the Brew crew playing in their minds, they still enjoy a six and a half years advance on the Chicago Cubs. Brewers have the best record for baseball, but for any reason, they are rarely included in the conversation of candidates for the playoffs. What I suspect that suits them very well.
To the west, to anyone’s surprise, the Los Angeles dodgers are first of all. A little more surprising is that they like nothing but an advance of two games on the Padres of San Diego. While the two teams have finished playing this year – a brighter planning, MLB! – Padres have a calendar remaining a little easier, with ten games in total against the Rockies and the White Sox of Chicago, while the Dodgers still have seven games against the Giants of San Francisco, who played solid ball, plus three games against the Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners. Do not pre -order the champion’s champion shirts for the moment, fans of dodgers.
Although it is far too early for any attempt to prognost the playoff series, I have a preference. Given that my team, namely the A, left the city on me, I did not have the rooted interest in baseball which had me every spring. I reinstated a fandom with the team of my first young people, namely the giants, but it is not the same thing, and it is not either. Unfortunately, San Francisco fell from a cliff in McCovey Cove after the stars break, so unless you run for ages, there will be no October baseball in northern California. I would like to see the navies win everything. A Mariners-Brewers World Series, while the cloth of the Nales of the MLB headquarters, would be very fun for two bases of fans which have never tasted champagne of the post-Final game. Indeed, the Brewers have not been to the World Series since 1982, while the navies have never won the pennant of the American League. It is time for the gods of baseball to cut them a little.
