YANKEES (31-32)
The Cubbies have quietly overcome major injuries to the pitching staff and have climbed back into second place behind the Cardinals. There is even talk of 1B Derek Lee (17HR, 53RBI, .377) winning the Triple Crown! The Yankees look lifeless and Steinbrenner is getting antsy.
MARLINS (32-30)

ANGELS (37-27)
The first place Angels are led by Bartolo Colon (8-3, 3.09) and Vladimir Guerrero (8HR, 29RBI, .327 in limited action.) and host the ?Fightin fish from Florida? as Dontrelle Willis (11-2, 2.06) and sluggers Carlos Delgado (13HR, 46RBI, .324) and Miguel Cabrera (10HR, 40RBI, .339).

A?S (26-37)
The red hot Phillies, winners of 9 out of the last 10 head into the Bay Area led by the All-Star bats of Bobby Abreu (16HR, 47RBI, .323) and Pat Burrell (14HR, 55RBI, .329). The A?s are led by trade bait Eric Chavez (10HR, 37RBI) and are in rebuild mode.

WHITE SOX (42-22)
The Dodgers were supposed to be down this year, but here they are only 2 ? games out of 1st place and playing good ball. Milton Bradley (10HR,26RBI,.298) and Jeff Kent (13HR, 50RBI,.287) are both strong players. The White Sox are the best team in baseball thanks mainly to their scorching start. Can they keep it up?

FINALS:
The Pistons rebounded nicely after dropping both games in San Antonio. The front court match-up of Tim Duncan vs. Rasheed and Ben Wallace is a great one. My favorite part is watching defensive stoppers Bruce Bowen mark Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince blanket Manu Ginobli.
