One month down, five to go

One month into the baseball season...what do we know?

• Delmon Young is really stupid, but has really good aim.
• Greg Maddux and Pedro Martinez are both 5-0, so apparently we have returned to 1996.
• Barry Bonds is showing his age......but better than his godfather, Willie Mays, did in his last season.
• The Mets seem as good as feared when I wrote a month ago. And apparently Delgado is becoming liked as well. Whoopee.
• The Braves seem as mediocre as feared, too. Worse, even, as the hitting hasn't been there. Or the pitching. Or the bullpen. Or the coaching. Let's just move on...
• The Tigers as the out-of-nowhere team (???) though the Brewers are doing well enough, as was thought to happen. Seriously, did anyone pick the Tigers? Their big signing was Kenny Rogers!
• The NL Central and NL West are staying bunched up for a while. Except for Pittsburgh. But the Pirates' park is nice.
• The Yankees are 1 game out of first and 2 games out of last. They are behind all but Tampa Bay. I am very happy but holding my breath.
• Roger Clemens need to make up his frickin' mind already. After Monday, pick something. Please.
• Bronson Arroyo could have done double-duty for the Red Sox, having as many homers as Wily Mo Pena. Pena will need therapy by June if this keeps up and he feels more Red Sox wrath. Meanwhile the Reds have the best record in the NL?
• Albert Pujols leads the majors with 12 HR. No surprise. Second - Jonny Gomes?

I'm Larry King and we'll be right back.
