May Recap

Gonna make this one short and sweet and move on to other things. LA went 11-16 in May, and while that's a step up it's good enough for 5^th place in the West and a mere 19.5 games behind the Astros.

The team can't hit. They are 11^th in average (.238) and OPB (.299) and 12^th in slugging (.344). Somehow, they are 6^th in HR's. The pitching staff is 7^th in the NL, with the bullpen ranking 10^th. Defensively, the team is 3^rd in the NL. So the mantra is, they suck.

The best hitter was Chuck Jackson. Yep, his .313/.410/.507 slash line lead the team and Ricky was right behind with a .305/.407/.400 line. Like April power was in short supply. For the entire month, Pedro and Samuel and their 3 dingers lead the team. Samuel hit .170. Pedro a measly .250. Who else sucked? Marty Barrett (.171/.256/.186). Maybe they should have released him.

The top pitcher was probably Frankie V. Viola went 2-4 with a 2.98 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP. Tanana wasn't awful either (1-4, 3.41, 1.05). Who wasn't? John Denny (0-0, 7.30, 2.11) and Ken Howell (2-1, 4.50, 1.50) was the worst of the starters.

What about the rest of the league?

The Astros are winning. With a 39-14 record they lead all of the NL, and are 11 games in front of the Braves. In the East, the Expos (.596) are a half in front of the Pirates (.588) and 1.5 in front of the Phillies (.566). The top team in the AL are the Orioles, who have gone from laughing stock to 34-18 leaders. They have the worst pitching staff, but they are powered by the Jr's. Cal Ripken and Ken Griffey. Add Ellis Burks in there too and they can hit. And in the West, it's between the Royals (.615) who lead, followed by the White Sox (.604) who are a half back. The Royals are lead by former Dodger, Orel Hersheiser, who is 9-1, with a 2.38 ERA. The White Sox and El Toro are getting along just fine. Valenzuela is 6-4, with a 3.07 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP for the White Sox. The White Sox currently have 7 pitchers on the DL.

I'm almost afraid of what June has to bring.
