Top 10 MLB Two Week Takeaways

Hey, did you know that nearly 7.5% of the MLB season has already been played, and that Mets Fans are already ready to kill themselves? Maybe not on the first, and definitely on the second. But there's more -- and what a coincidink, the number is ten -- to know. Such as...

10) The A's are off to their best start since 1992 and lead the AL West by 2.5 games, and absolutely no one believes they'll keep it up

9) The Orioles are holding players only meetings, which means they are holding unattended meetings

8) After three straight losses at home to Tampa, the fourth place Red Sox are 4-8 with David Ortiz doing his feeble old man impersonation again, which means the always calm and drama-free Red Sox Nation is readying up their Web cams and nooses

7) The Houston Astros might be the worst organization in America, rather than just MLB

6) It's not true that Ubaldo Jimenez's no-hitter was the first complete game in Rockies history

5) The only thing more predictable than Mark Teixeira's slow start is that it will have no impact on the Yankee year

4) The Phillies look a lot less world-beaterish with Jimmy Rollins on the shelf and a good pitcher facing them

3) Pittsburgh is still above .500, which means that it's too early to pay attention to the standings

2) There is a very real chance that the White Sox are not only trying to make Ozzie Guillen's head explode, but that they will succeed

1) With the exception of the Astros and Mets, no one in the NL is really bad, which means that no one is really good, either
