The Baseball Season is halfway over and it came on a high note, with a no-hitter from Giants lefty, Jonathon Sanchez. The NL MVP at this point is clearly Albert Pujols. He has gone to souvenir city 32 times this year, which is the most in the Majors. The AL MVP is alot more of an open race, but a few are beginning to pull away. I would go with either Jason Bay of the Red Sox or Torii Hunter of the Angels. Bay is on fire at the plate in Boston, while fielding his postion very well in front of the "Green Monster". The NL Cy Young right now is without a doubt Tim Lincecum. An ERA of 2.33 amd 149 stikeouts. Unless someone makes a major push in the 2nd half of the season, look for Timmy to repeat and keep his crown. The AL Cy Young is the best race in baseball right now. Zack Grienke going against Roy Halladay. Grienkes ERA is 2.12 and he leads the AL in wins. Though that is impressive stuff Roy Halladay leads the AL in strikeouts by a wide margin. If Halladay is traded to the Phillies, which is where many reports have him going, Grienke is a lock for the AL Cy Young. AL Rookie of The Year will go to Andrew Bailey who has not allowed a run since June 10 and has absolutely no competition. I am fairly confident NL Rookie of The Year will go to Pittsburgh Pirate Andrew McCutchen. Since being brought up to fill the void for Nate McClouth, (Traded to the Braves) He has impressed us all with his speed. He has 5 triples in 34 games which is very, very impressive and there is not a ball in the vincinity of any park that he cannot catch up to. Lastly, lets finish with a world series prediction. The Boston Red Sox against the San Fransisco Giants, with the Giants winning in 6.
