RE: My First Look at the 2018 Major League Baseball Standings: Surprises and Disappointments So Far

in #sports7 years ago

It is hard to believe that we are already almost a full month into the season. I have always been of the mindset that you can't win a pennant in April and May but you can certainly lose one. It is sad that some of these teams are destined to spend eternity in baseball purgatory. At some point, the league might want to address its lack of a salary cap. There are too many teams that are forced to play "Moneyball" and the reality is that teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers don't really care about the luxury tax. Where I grew up, our television channels only had access to three teams. The Red Sox, Expos and the Blue Jays. I was the oddball in my friend group because everyone loves the Jays and I cheered for the Red Sox and the Expos. I'm a big fan of the underdog and I don't often get that experience with Boston but Montreal always inspired. Looking forward to seeing how things shake out the rest of the way. Hopefully, we will see some big runs by little teams.

Go Expos! We need to start a trend there. #goexpos
