What have we learned in the first half of the season?

What have we learned that will help us in the 2nd half...

Just give me everything that you can think of... Players, teams, MGR, Umps.. Everything you've learned from the first half.

The over almost always hits when Paul Emmel is behind home plate. 16-1.

Worthless? Probably.

[Skating Tripods]

The AL Central absolutely sucks.

[SkyBlues42]

Tim Lincecum is terrible.

Cliff Lee gets a W once every 14 weeks

People overreact to things way too early in a 162 game season (ex: Dodgers and Red Sox).

Edit: Dodgers might be semi-injury related but one player cannot carry a team in baseball for an entire season. It just doesn't happen.

Some of the top hackers in the world are Giants fans (or/and the Giants have one hell of a marketing department)

Heath Bell is the real deal

Minnesota's offense is not nearly as bad as their pitching. If any of their pitchers come into form, they're worth backing.

I agree with this wholeheartedly, I think the Twins will be a team I'm looking to back.. They have some good and bad pitching going right now but I like their lineup and think overall they aren't as bad as their record suggests. A good team to back when heavy dogs on the road vs a not so great pitcher.

I backed them the last 3 days of the half and honestly should have cleaned up. They blew two saves the last being 3-0 going into the 9th.

Diamond has been good and Liriano has been really good lately.
