The MLB

The MLB has been surprise by a lot of teams but mainly one team, the Florida Marlins. Who have posted on of the best records in the MLB right now. ESPN predicted the Florida Marlins to have a losing record of 77-85. I'm not saying that they will have one of the best record but the way they are playing they could. It is still a long season for the Marlins. It would be quite an amazing story if they did pull of one of the best record and made it to the World Series. Which is what last years Tampa Bay Rays did. Who were predicted to be more than 20 games under .500. And they shocked the world by posting a 97-65 record in the major, winning their division and making it to the world series. In which they lost to the Philadelphia Phillies. So if they lost but what an amazing season they had and they defeated the defending champs Red Sox in the conference championship 4 games to 3. Some disappointments have been in the MLB the past 2 years like the New York Mets. Who had a lead on the division the last month of the season but couldn't hold on to that lead and didn't make it to the playoffs for 2 years in a row because of their consistant poor play in the last month of the season. Both season for the Mets it came down to the last game of the season which decided if they will play in the playoffs or not. Both seasons they versed the Florida Marlins. And if they won the last game then they are in the postseason. But they lost both time in both seasons. Also for the Yankees it was bad for them last season because it was their last season playing in the house that Ruth Built. And they had a record of 89-73 not making the playoffs for the first time of more than 15 years. But this is the start of a new season and both teams are pumped of from last season. The 2 teams plan on making the playoffs again for the new stadiums they recieved. Yankees have a new stadium which is called Yankee stadium which cost 1.5 billion dollars. The Mets have a new stadium which is called Citi Field instead of Shea Stadium.

  1. Well I think the Florida Marlins are gonna have the best records in the MLB right now. ESPN predicted the Florida Marlins to have a losing record of 77-85. I'm not saying that they will have one of the best record but the way they are playing they could. It is still a long season for the Marlins

  2. I hope we make it to the world series. We don't have the best record anymore but we still are doing pretty well. I got Hanley for MVP and Benefacio for Rookie of the Year.
