In Scooter's absence, let me ask, how do you grade your team's performance this week on a scale of A to F?

Pirates get an F the allusion of a .500 season has escaped us.

Brewers of course get an A...winning 5/6 including 2/3 in St. Louis.

Our manager gets an A for improvising the lineup...he's also riding a hot streak. We won 14/16 games....but we would like to extend that.

The Detroit Tigers get a C because of 3 wins and 3 losts for the week

Indians get a B+. They went 4-1 against the Tigers and Twins and Shin-Soo Choo returned to the lineup. Good solid week

C Red Sox won 3 of 6. Generic baseball.

My Brewers get an A. They are on fire! They've been playing phenomenal baseball lately and now we are the second best team record-wise in the NL and the fourth best team overall. This is music to my ears as a lifelong Brewers fan.

Brewers get an A. They just keep winning 70 wins now and a 5 game lead in the division now!

D-Backs: B+, Rocky start to the week but finished with a sweep of the Mets

Rays: B, Not that many wins this week, and even not that many news this week

Mets: C+, Being swept by the D-Backs, which is one of my favorite teams also.

Royals: B-, Pretty well.

Yankees get a B -- went 3-2 against LA and Tampa.

Texas Rangers B+ probably. If they would have pulled off a better game tonight. then an A- but for now B+
