Baseball takes a Halladay
Now that we're done with the All-Star break, it's time to take a quick look at our two Metro-area baseball teams and where they stand heading into the baseball's second half.
The Yankees are clearly having a better year than last season, but so, too, is Boston and don't look now, but here comes defending AL champion Tampa Bay. It looks like Texas might actually give Calif ... I mean Anah ... I mean Los Angeles (whatever you feel like calling the Angels these days) a race in the West, with Minnesota -- most likely -- taking the Central. The Twins usually do.
A lot will depend on who wins out on the Roy Halladay sweepstakes. If Boston lands the Toronto ace, you might as well cancel the rest of the season -- unless Josh Beckett and John Lester go to the Blue Jays in the deal. (Yeah, right!) If the Yankees get him, things get a whole lot more interesting in the AL.
I've heard reports that anybody from the Yankees to the Angels to the Red Sox to the Phillies to the Cardinals have the "inside track" in signing him.
That takes us to the fortunes of the Mets. If they get healthy and if they start playing to their potential, don't be surprised if the Amazins make a run at the playoffs. Don't laugh, outside of Philadelphia and Los Angeles, are there any teams in the NL that REALLY scare you.
That could change if the Cards somehow land Halladay.
If the Phillies get Halladay, the best the Mets could hope for is the Wild Card. But I guess you could say their fortunes are "iffy" at best.
Keep July 31 in mind. That's the trading deadline. A lot could be decided with one trade.
