Hope springs eternal--especially during the first week of the baseball season. Right now, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays lead the American League East, while the lowly Detroit Tigers rule the AL Central. In the National League, the New York Mets own a share of first place in the East and the Milwaukee Brewers lead the Central. As of this moment, Kansas City, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, and Colorado are among the teams that remain undefeated. Check back with me later in the season to see if current trends continue.
