One of the All-Star Break traditions: Reassessing our predictions from the first half of the season. Some of mine have changed, some have stayed the same—and some were just damn wrong. Living in the West, I will take the contrarian position and roll from west to east in my choices.

The latest guy to challenge Thigpen is the Anaheim Angels’ Francisco “K-Rod” Rodriguez, who has been their closer since taking over in 2004 from Troy Percival. Since then, he’s notched 178 saves for Anaheim, including a 47-save 2006 and a 45-save 2005, and has averaged 32 saves throughout his career (including about two seasons as Percival’s setup man).

All right. Are you ready for this? As the All-Star break approaches, the Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in baseball. That’s right. At 49-32, they’re a half-game ahead of Boston, the Cubs, and Anaheim. Whoa. Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

The game everyone’s talking about from last night is the near-no-hitter—so called because only eight innings were completed—by the Angels, who lost the game to the Dodgers—which is why the no-hitter was only eight innings: the winning Dodgers didn’t need to take their bottom-of-the-ninth at-bats. Got that?
