The young guys, Delmon Young, Elijah Dukes and B.J. Upton, are ripping the ball. So is Akinori Iwamura. And so are the opponents: a .317 average against. Ouch. |

A.J. Pierzynski leaned into a pitch -- or at least didn't get out of the way of one -- to steal a game last Thursday. That, alone, puts the Sox in the Bottom 10. Go blame A.J. |

Eric Gagne may be back soon, but unless the guy can hit a home run or two, that's not helping. The mighty Rangers have the worst slugging percentage (.302) in baseball. |

An incomplete, like the Indians, is probably most deserved. But considering these are the Mariners, and no one expects anything out of them anyway, this will have to do. |

I'm probably being a little harsh with the Phils. But not nearly as harsh as the Braves and Marlins were last week. An ERA above 5.00 is nothing to yap about, fellas. |

The Royals are better than they were last year. They're showing signs. The pitching, in fact, was pretty good last week. But a question: Have they rushed Alex Gordon? |

An 83-win team in '06 that lost some key members of its rotation was not bound to do well. So, in a way, a 2-4 start with no quality starts is meeting expectations. Congrats. |

Don't you want to scream at this team? These guys are hitting .224. They were swept by the Pirates. If I'm Roger Clemens, that La-Z-Boy is starting to look reeeal nice. |

How does a team with maybe the greatest home run hitter ever -- yeah, tell it to someone else -- manage only two home runs in six games? Man, the Giants need help. |

Generally speaking, you need a foundation to begin a rebuilding process. The Nats don't have one. So they're still a season or two away from rebuilding. Yecch. |
