NL East destroys NL West
Today is August 19, 2005, quite far into the 2005 MLB season. I think it’s rather remarkable that every single team in the National League East has a better record than every single team in the National League West.

In other words, wow, the NL West is terrible.

The NL East is definately the best division, as a whole, in the NL. It is interesting that Atlanta (my team), the leader in the East with the second best record in the league, has a LOSING record against the west. All the other teams in the east have beat up on the west, however. By the way, NO team has ever won a division with a .500 record or worse, and it probably won’t happen this year, since they all play each other at the end of the season. But it is amazing the the leader of a division, this far into the season, is 2 games below .500.

Kinda funny when in the 128 years of baseball (1876-2005), 63% of those years there was never any teams on the West Coast (1876-1957). Maybe the West Coast doesn’t deserve to have any teams now.
