The Red Sox has the best home record in the American League at 29-9. The Diamondbacks have struggled on the road at 15-22. Can the young Diamondbacks to the stop the slide at 3? Well see tonight at Fenway Park.

Aramis Ramirez

How about the Cubs, sweeping the 1st place White Sox. Amaris Ramierz hit 4 homeruns against the White Sox. And after the Cubs got swept by the Tampa bay Rays. And the lost of Carlos Zambrano. It look like the 100 year curse is still in effect. But this weekend the Cubs put the smack down on the White Sox. And still post the best record in the MLB at 48-28.

The National League East and don’t look now but the Atlanta Braves are not dead yet. The Braves who took 2 out of 3 agaisnt the Seattle Mariners. Are now only 4 games out of the top spot in the National League East. With the Phillies getting swept by the Angels this weekend the Braves are now back in the hunt. Despite losing Smoltz for the season and Glavine being on the DL. Chipper Jones not being in the line up. The Braves have had the other parts of there team step up. Yesterday performance by Hudson and Teixeira help the Braves win 8-3. Teixeira hit three homeruns on Sunday and Hudson who is now 8-5 for the season with a 2.96 ERA. The Braves season is not over but can they get Chipper back healthy and who in the bullpen can they count on?
