First Half Thoughts [David Stefanini]

We are officially through the first half of the baseball season and what a season it has been. Here are a few things I picked up on:

• Albert Pujols is incredible. Though I knew this already.
  
• The Mets are somehow still in contention after losing their stars and backups.
  
• The Yankees are good, not as good as the Red Sox.
• If anyone thinks they can beat the Dodgers get them psychiatric help ASAP.
• What happened to the Rays? I thought they would be great this year, oh well.
• Have I mentioned how good Pujols is?
• Cy Young: Dan Haren and Zack Greinke
• MVP: Albert Pujols (should get it in both leagues) and Joe Mauer
