Infinite MonkeysPoochucker and I grabbed a beer yesterday afternoon in San Diego while I was waiting for my flight home, and as we watched pre-teens play in the Little League World Series we also discussed how bad the grown-ups in the National League were playing.
Last time I checked the standings, right before the all-star break, there were only five teams in the entire National League playing above .500. Well, guess what? There are still only five teams in the NL playing above .500, and some barely so. Pitiful.
Am I complaining? Absolutely not. If it weren't for the generally poor NL play, the .504 Arizona Diamondbacks wouldn't be in second place for both the Western Division AND the NL Wildcard. Hurray for mediocrity!
