The Giants were the better team last weekend, blibble. Lincecum is establishing himself as the gold standard of pitching.

Texas, Baltimore and Pittsburgh have some incredible minor league talent right now.

One of the more overlooked tradeline deals was George Sherrill going to the Dodgers. He's a lefty reliever, who has incredibly good success getting lefties out. I'm sure the Dodgers were thinking about Utley, Howard and Ibanez, as well as turning around Rollins and Victorino in a possible post season matchup.

I like the Cardinals to outlast the Cubs in the NL Central. Carpenter, Wainright and Piniero are the best trio of starters in that division.

It is officially time for teams to start looking at wild card standings.
