The Cards are 13-5 after a 3-9 start

6. Other than Washington, nobody is running away like the Cubs did last year

The last time the Cubbies won 2 in a row was the last time they won it all - 1907 and 1908. Last year they lost a few in the 1st week and then played .700+ baseball for the whole season.

Yankees look good with young home grown talent - That's scary, because they can always afford to hire a bat or a pitcher at need, so if their core players are young and cheap, they will go after anything they need to get over the hump

The Reds are surprising me, I knew Votto is a stone cold stud at the plate and he's raking, but I don't believe they have the arms to keep up this pace

Hope is eternal, it's what baseball is built on after all. I know. Freaking out in early May makes no sense, but I can't help myself.

I don't follow the American League on a daily basis (I live around St Louis, so I track the NL) but I have been looking in on Houston now and again, and they are set for a long playoff run IMHO. Especially since Dallas Keuchel seems to be healthy again
