Back from the break and there's more questions than answers.
Standings as of July 17th:
Team W L PCT GB Washington 53 39 .576 - Atlanta 52 41 .559 1.5 Philadelphia 48 45 .516 5.5 Florida 45 45 .500 7.0 NY Mets 46 46 .500 7.0
Overall Record: 52-41 Run Differential: +64 Record in last period: 8-4Hudson off the DL. Hampton off the DL. Jones to be coming off the DL. Is there any doubt that the Braves are going to win the division? Are you sick of it too?
Overall Record: 45-45 Run Differential: +2 Record in last period: 3-8Where will AJ Burnett end up? Will Mike Lowell be tagging along if he does get traded? Does trading Burnett send up the white flag?
Overall Record: 46-46 Run Differential: +12 Record in last period: 6-5What's the best way for the Mets to fill their hole at 1B? Or is Chris Woodward the answer? Will Beltran start hitting in games that Pedro doesn't start? Should they have hopes for the playoffs or are there too many teams to pass?
Overall Record: 48-45 Run Differential: +6 Record in last period: 7-5The Phillies are 5.5 games back, and 4 games out of the wild card, yet there's been talk of trading Billy Wagner and Jim Thome. Should they be buyers or sellers? What would they be looking for?
Overall Record: 53-39 Run Differential: -7 Record in last period: 3-8The Nationals are starting to fade, which has coincided for the most part with Nick Johnson's injury. Can they rely on him returning? Will it matter if he does return? Does Preston Wilson improve the team?
