5.  Mannywood in L.A.  With Manny Ramirez announcing that this will be his last season in Dodger blue, who knows when an additional star of Ramirez’s gravitas will play for the Dodgers. It’s worth noting that Manny won’t likely put up the sort of numbers fans are employed to from him, but this will matter small for fans sporting dreadlocks and sitting in the designated Mannywood section in left field at Dodger Stadium.

Even with a 50-game suspension for making use of performance enhancing drugs a season ago, Dodger fans still enjoy Manny Ramirez, and that definitely isn’t going to alter this year with the Dodgers when once more expected to win the division.  Manny is a excellent fit for the atmosphere of Los Angeles and he continues to be as unpredictable as a Rick Vaughn fastball.  With such a combo, he has always helped make &lta rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link'])” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/mlb-tickets/”&gtMLB tickets&lt/a&gt sell speedily.

4.  Griffey’s last opportunity at a title in Seattle.  Ken Griffey Jr. is 40 this season, which is hard to think for a lot of fans who bear in mind him as “The Kid.”  His numbers have declined sharply over the last couple of years and he only plays the outfield in rare occasions, instead playing primarily as the team’s DH.  With his skills in decline, it’s very achievable that he retires soon after this season.  Still, Griffey is beloved in Seattle and can still hit the ball out of the park (he hit 19 in just 117 games in 2009).  With two stud pitchers in Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez, the Mariners may well have the very best team Griffey has ever played on.  Though they are still a long shot to win a title, several anticipate them to win the AL West, which would give Griffey 1 final attempt at the postseason and perhaps even a chance to play in the Fall Classic.

three.  Boston Red Sox look to return to prominence.  Following the first World Series win in 2004, the Red Sox were able to physical exercise their demons and lastly rid themselves of the murmurs of curses.  With the second title in 2007, the Red Sox sealed themselves as legitimate powerhouses.  As the Yankees responded with a World Series victory of their own in 2009, it will be interesting to see how the Red Sox fare in 2010.  When again they are loaded with talent and boast arguably the greatest beginning rotation in the league, giving them a quite excellent shot at a World Series title.  Red Sox Nation expects them to challenge the Yankees for the division title this season and no matter what occurs, the Sox will be an intriguing team to watch.

2.  Joe Mauer and the Minnesota Twins.  With the Twins signing Mauer to a 4 million contract and opening up a brand new stadium in the same year, Minnesota no longer appears to be the modest marketplace team from years past.  With another extremely talented team, most anticipate the Twins to once again challenge for a division title and several anticipate them to win it.  Target Field is a premier venue that will make fans forget about the Metrodome fairly speedily and the Twins’ future seems extremely bright.  Even if they don’t have the arms in their rotation to be legit World Series contenders, the Twins have moved properly up the ranks of baseball franchises.

1.  World Series or bust for New York Yankees.  As numerous people hate the Yankees as adore them, which is also the point.  No matter what the Yankees do, they draw national attention due to their incredible payroll and status as the most popular baseball team in the world.  Every single team in the league wishes they were booed as loudly and frequently as the Yankees are.  In 2009, the initial year in their new Yankee Stadium, the Yanks took down the World Series and have just as powerful a team to commence the 2010 season.  No matter regardless of whether they win one more title or the often opinionated Hank Steinbrenner starts making headlines if they fail to meet expectations, baseball fans will be paying attention to the New York Yankees all season lengthy.

The Rest:

The Philadelphia Phillies are the favorite to be the National League representative in the World Series, which would make it their third consecutive appearance.  Amidst whispers that the Phillies might be the greatest National League team in decades, it will be interesting to see if they can live up to the hype.  Like the Twins, the Tampa Bay Rays no longer are playing like a little market team and could seriously challenge the Red Sox and Yankees for the division and Wild Card.  Those who slept on them in 2008 will be wise not to do the very same in 2010.

Write-up by Jay Nault

Baseball tickets are going to be a hot item in the Midwest for the rest of the season as points are acquiring tight in the middle of the division. A Wild Card berth could be on the line, and as of now, it’s too close to call for that spot.

Detroit Tigers

Currently:

All the excitement below them in the standings didn’t seem to have an effect on the Tigers over the past month, as they went 16-9 and appear to be cruising towards the division title. Their success is a team effort, as Ivan Rodriguez, Brandon Inge and Magglio Ordonez are all having fantastic offensive years. Justin Verlander has been a force on the mound.

Outlook:

There’s no reason to feel that the Tigers will collapse, as they’re solid from top to bottom.

Chicago White Sox

Presently:

The White Sox are in a bit of trouble. What once seemed like a solid hold on the Wild Card is now tenuous at finest. The White Sox stumbled to a 10-15 record over the past 30 days, and it would be worse if not for the efforts of Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye. Ozzie Guillen’s antics and resulting distractions haven’t helped.

Outlook:

The White Sox are still the World Champions, and they really should have the mettle to turn it around. They’d far better get moving soon though or they’ll be left out of the postseason altogether.

Minnesota Twins

Presently:

The Twins are on an incredible roll. They’ve gone 18-8 over the past 30 days, and that includes an eight-game winning streak and a sweep of the White Sox in Chicago. Joe Mauer is having an enormous year from the plate, and star pitchers Francisco Liriano and Johan Santana make the Twins awfully tough to beat. Baseball tickets are all the rage in Minnesota these days, and there are some very very good reasons for that.

Outlook:

It’s tough to envision any team continuing this pace long-term, but everyone thought the Twins had been out of it early on in the season and look where they are now. They also finish the season with a 3-game set against the White Sox, and that could decide the Wild Card.

Cleveland Indians

Presently:

The Indians suffered by way of another tough month, posting only a 10-16 record over the past 30 days, and it’s finding to be about time to put this season to bed and commence creating for 2007. Travis Hafner continues to be a bright spot, but the rest of this division is just too good to catch up now.

Outlook:

The Indians know how to develop a team, so look for them to rebound next season.

Kansas City Royals

Presently:

When you’re talking about the Royals, you need to measure progress in relative terms. The Royals went 12-15 over the past month, which is really not that poor compared to their overall record. Regardless, the season is over, and the Royals are basically playing out the string.

Outlook:

The season is over, but fans in Kansas City are loyal, so they’ll still use their baseball tickets to get a look at the future.

In a recent game between the Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins, Twin’s catcher Joe Mauer was shown by Fox Sports footage signaling to the batter what pitch the Tiger’s pitcher was about to throw.  I am not certain why this particular instance of sign-stealing has gotten so considerably attention other than the reality that it was so clearly obvious what was happening.

I don’t know about you, but I have completely no dilemma with this whatsoever.  I would even say that Joe Mauer would not be performing his job if he didn’t signal to the batter what pitch was coming if he knew.  I mean, why wouldn’t you?  Each and every one on the baseball field knew what was happening.  The opposing catcher even changed the signs a number of times to mix Mauer up.

Sign-stealing in baseball is taught at a very young age and is nothing more than a basic element of the game.  Of course, in baseball there are some things you just don’t do.

1) You do not reach into the 1st baseman’s glove and knock the ball out when he is trying to tag you. (Alex Rodriguez)

2)  You don’t tip pitches to the opposing batter just since he is your friend or is from the exact same country.  (Alex Rodriguez)

three.  And you do not yell ‘Got it’ as you are rounding third base and the opposing infielders are attempting to catch the ball. (Alex Rodriguez)

Did everyone else notice that Alex Rodriguez has been accused of all three examples that immediately came to my mind when thinking about things you don’t do in baseball?
