Opening Series Finished. Where does your team stand?

Opening weekend is just about over, but where does your team stand? I know where the Phillies are, and if you've read previous blogs, you know where they stand as well. The Phillies are atop the NL East with a 3-0 record, with the Braves/Mets behind them, both at 2-1. But what about other teams? What are they up to? They go as follows:

• NL East - 1. PHI 2. ATL 3. NYM. 4. FLA 5. WSH. Since you probably already know about the Phillies. I would specifically like to talk about the Marlins and the Nationals
• Nationals - The Nationals lost their home opener to the Braves. Which in the Philadelphia Inquirer, there was a lengthy article about Jayson Werth and how appreciated he is in D.C. Apparently Werth was cheered beyond belief as his scraggly picture was placed on their scoreboard. At every half-inning, his picture or highlights of his performances on the scoreboard. Even though Werth went 1-4, he was seen as a hero for taking so many pitches in each at-bat. And he also made sliding/diving catches in the outfield. But I'm sure the Nationals would like to reassure that their decision was a good one.
• Marlins - The Marlins Opening Day was a great win. Pitching ace Josh Johnson was on the mound for the Marlins and came through with the win, pitching 6.2 innings with 2 earned runs. Catcher John Buck hit a grand slam, which is the first time a catcher hit a grand slam on Opening Day since 1900. Unfortunately, the Marlins dropped the next two games to the Mets, placing them in a tie for last with the Nationals. 
• NL Central - 1. CIN 2. PIT 3. CHC 4. STL 5. HOU 6. MIL. No surprise that the Reds are at the top of the NL Central, but some shakeups within the rest of the division. 
• Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh has won 5 straight Opening Day games in a row, but why is it that they finish in the bottom of the division each year? Regardless, Neil Walker hit a grand slam on Opening Day, and the last time that happened within the Pirates organization was by Roberto Clemente. In todays game, Neil Walker also dashed from 2nd all the way to home to help score 2 runs in the top of the 9th to beat the Cubs, 5-4. 
• NL West - 1. LAD 2. SD 3. COL 4. ARI 5. SF. Wait what? The 2010 World Series Champs are at the bottom of the NL West?
• Dodgers - The Dodgers have been slamming the Giants in a 4 game series. After beating them 2-1 on Opening Day, where Tim Lincecum got the loss after pitching 7 innings, no earned runs. Broxton has been on a roll by gaining 3 saves. The Dodgers only downfall: allowing 2 HRs to Pat Burrell.
• San Diego - San Diego is apparently doing fine without Adrian Gonzalez.
• Postponement due to snow: The last game of the Colorado, Arizona series was postponed due to snow. It would be a safe assumption to say that the two previous games were played in Colorado.
• AL West - 1. TEX 2. SEA 3. OAK 4. LAA. Nothing really special going on in the AL West.
• Texas - The Rangers swept the Red Sox, and were able to set some records along the way. Ian Kinsler was the first player to lead off the first inning with homers in the first two games. And Nelson Cruz is only the second right-handed player to hit a homerun into right field's upper deck. So far Kinsler/Cruz each have 3 HRs and Napoli has 2 HRs
• Seattle - Seattle isn't looking too bad at the start of the season. On April 2, Ichiro celebrated his 10th anniversary of his Major League debut in Seattle where he went 2-5 with a run scored. Ichiro is now 37 and shows no signs of slowing down.
• AL Central - 1. KC 2. CHW 3. CLE 4. DET 5. MIN. There is a little bit of a shakeup in the AL Central in that, Kansas City is at the top of the AL Central.
• Kansas City - After playing 4 games, Kansas City is at a 3-1 record after playing a 4 game series with the Angels. This series included a walk-off homerun by Kila Ka'aihue on Friday, as well as a win today which the Royals won in the bottom of the 13th inning with a walk-off homerun from Matt Treanor. (8 homeruns in that game total)
• Chicago White Sox - One player has really contributed to the White Sox, and that player is Adam Dunn. As a DH, Dunn has 5 RBIs, 1 HR, and a .400 BA. Good pick up White Sox.
• AL East - 1. BAL 2. NYY 3. TOR 4. BOS 5. TB. This division makes no sense to me, but let's break down some performances by the teams in the AL East.
• Baltimore - A sweep over the Rays puts them atop the AL East. The Orioles beefed up team beat the Rays dismantled and then reassembled team. Johnny Damon made a valiant effort in the outfield, but came up short with a very amusing play.
• New York Yankees - All I can say is that Mark Teixeira has hit 3 HRs and will hopefully stop his poor starts to every season. A homerun the first, second, and third game of the season really has Tex fans happy. Tex fans like myself.
• Boston - Big Papi hit a homerun and is off to a great start, which is unusual, because he is also known for his slow starts to the season. Boston was swept by the Rangers in some very exciting games, especially the Opening Day game, which they unfortunately lost to the "long ball."
• Toronto - Jose Bautista has hit two homeruns. That's about it.
• Rays - ManRam hasn't done anything. Rays stink.

And that is about it. Let me know if I have forgotten anything. Yes I realize I did not cover each and every team, but this was a long blog nonetheless, so I hope you enjoy it anyway.
