All Star Break

Baseball thoughts

#NLEast Projections: 1. #Mets 2. #Nationals 3. #Marlins  4. #Phillies 5. #Braves Marlins could surprisingly contend but 2 clear frontrunners

Mets pitching injuries sliding them down. Marlins in wild card hunt

#NLCentral Projections: 1. #Cubs 2. #Cardinals 3. #Pirates 4. #Brewers 5. #Reds 3 good, 1 moving right direction, others windows closing

— Cooler Cup (@CoolerCup14) March 31, 2016

Cubs struggling but still in command. 

#NLWest Projections: 1. #Dodgers 2. #DBacks 3. #Giants 4. #Padres  5. #Rockies
again 3 good ones here, finish within 6 games of each other

— Cooler Cup (@CoolerCup14) March 31, 2016

DBacks the biggest disappointment team in NL. Never pick against Giants in even year

#ALWest Projections: 1. #Astros 2. #Rangers  3. #Mariners 4. #Angels 5. #Athletics
3 good teams at top.Theme for #AmericanLeague = #parity

Really good year for baseball in Texas but will Texas hold on and make playoffs? Houston charging.

#ALCentral Projections: 1. #Royals 2. #Indians 3. #WhiteSox 4. #Twins 5. #Tigers
Could all 5 finish within 5 games of each other? Pick any1

— Cooler Cup (@CoolerCup14) March 31, 2016

Shouldn't have bought into the Twins or doubted Detroit

#ALEast Projections: 1. #BlueJays 2. #Rays 3. #RedSox 4. #Yankees 5. #Orioles
Not sure who takes this one, at least 4 pretty even teams

Still not sure I buy Baltimore winning division, but these picks don't look good

Lots of drama in the AL as many teams still within striking distance. NL wild cards looks to be a battle with some good teams left out.
Best Cooler

Guerin's white dress did not like the blue Powerade and unfortunately for her wardrobe and dry cleaning bills, it led to several more in the first half

Luckiest Reporter

Hazel didn't move and caught part of the red and none of the water. Better/worse aim by Russell Martin and she could have had a total drenching

Race that's already over

Emily Jones looks like she has the escape artist wrapped up, Elivs and Rougned don't seem interested in catching her in any of their win celebrations

So far its been a wet year for first timers - Julie and Hazel getting their first coolers with their current teams.

Joel looking to go back to back, now they're holding him sometimes to assure he gets wet.
