There's a lot that happens in half a season of baseball and this year is no exception. We've seen a no-hitter and an inside-the-park home run, just in the last week. There have been two steals of home, one major PED-related suspension, one Cuban defection, and the biggest potential American draft prospect of all time, so big he might be in the Majors by September. Basically, pretty standard stuff. Of course, depending on your team and their performance during these past 85-odd games, you might feel that this season so far is really great, really crappy or absolutely horrible. That's the camp I find myself in, since I happen to support the New York Mets. But this isn't going to be about how awful they've been playing for the last month or an attempt to explain away those troubles by looking at how they've been decimated by injury (which is true). Instead, let's look at the bright side of things.
