Best record in the NL, wow

So the DBack's have the best record in the NL, wow that is very surprising. The east coast bias media, think the Mets, Braves and Philly's are always the better teams, but I think the NL West is very impressive this year. The Dodgers, Padres and the home team 9 are 9, 10 and 12 games over with the best pitching staffs in the NL. LA, SD and Phoenix are fighting for 2 playoff spots, no one in the central has a chance at the wildcard and Phily is only 3 games over while Atlanta is straight up playing .500 ball. 4 games at home against the Dodgers should be a great litmus test, and if the Dback's could win 3 of 4 then we will be buyers at the deadline instead of sellers as in the previous few years.

SO CAN THEY WIN THE WORLD SERIES? Crazy as the last sentence is to utter, they very well could. The AL has much better teams than the NL, but remember that Detroit was unbeatable last year and the Cardinals were horrible, but they were hot with the bats for the best week of the year, late October. 22 games over was the final record of the 2001 World Series Champs, and we currently are 12 over. Just food for thought, jump on the bandwagon now and start buying some tickets to the ball park.
