Interleague play has mercifully ended (I know, the fans like it) and the weekend pretty much marks the mid-point of the season. If the second half went exactly the same as the first half that just ended:

- The Yankees, Twins, Mariners, Braves, Astros and Giants would win their divisions and the slammin' Red Sox and (gasp!) Philidelphia Phillies would be the wildcard winners.

- Carlos Delgado would end up with 52 homers and 178 RBI! He would easily win the MVP. His teammate, Vernon Wells would finish with 150 RBI!

- Barry Bonds would finish with 46 homers which would give him 660 for his career. We all know what that number means!

- Albert Pujols would finish with 148 runs scored, a 144 RBI, 46 homers, 58 doubles, 234 hits and easily win the NL MVP.

- 13 pitchers would have 20 wins with the most being 22.

- Kerry Wood (286) and Mark Prior (254) would end up 1-2 in the majors in strikeouts. Not quite Johnson/Schilling but good numbers.

- 41 year old Roger Clemens would end up 16-8 with 238 strikeouts good for fourth in the majors. He would finish his career with 309 wins.

- John Smoltz and Eric Gagne would finish with 58 saves each and finish two of the greatest seasons by relief pitchers ever.

- Dodger pitchers Nomo and Ishii will end up with 220 walks between them. That's a lot of free passes to overcome.

- Nomar Garciaparra would end up with 46 doubles, 24 triples (!) and 24 homers.

Speaking of the Red Sox, besides Urbina, have they made a bad roster move all year? In a little thought of transaction blip, the Red Sox signed Kapler to a minor league contract. Less than a week later, they added him to their team. All he's done in two games is go 7 for 9 with five of those seven hits going for extra bases. He also has seven RBI in those two games. Incredible. Welcome back to the majors, Gabe and you just became one of the Fan's boxscore favorites.
