For some strange reason I didn't make note of how things were going at the end of each month until I got to July 1. So it's a bit of a fast forward here.
The Boston Red Sox are off to a great start and are leading the East by 3 1/2 games. Luis Tiant has been lights out and will probably end up being the starter for the All Star Game. Baltimore, the real-life division winners, have struggled out of the gate and are barely at .500. Inconsistent starting pitching from Jim Palmer and Dave McNally has been a problem along with an offense that doesn't quite click. The biggest underperformers so far have been the Detroit Tigers. In real life at this point they were 38-36 but in the replay they are an atrocious 22-52!
In the West, Oakland is leading as expected. The Chicago White Sox were right up there with the A's for the first 2 1/2 months but they have been tailing off lately.
