Feel free to discuss your thoughts on the season below.

If anything has surprised me so far, it's probably the poor starts the Blue Jays and Astros have had so far considering the offensive juggernaut Toronto was last year and the Astros realistically being a bullpen meltdown away from the ALCS. I think one of them can still pick it up and make the playoffs (probably the Astros) but their hole is rather deep now. Positively, the White Sox have surprised considering all the drama regarding them in Spring Training. Nice to see both sides of Chicago in contention for once.

I know they'll inevitably cool off at some point, but the Cubs just look like absolute juggernauts so far this season, as my Nats saw this weekend :S

I'm more surprised at the other Chicago, because to be quite honest I expected their record to be around where Houston is now and vice versa, and the same also goes to Seattle and Minnesota. :S

The Mets pitching isn't just good on tyne mound; first Colons homer in San Diego on Saturday and then Syndergaard hit 2 last night in LA for the Mets only runs in that game. Crazy stuff.

I'll be honest, it wasn't until yesterday when it finally sank in that the Cubs were World Series champions. Hey, 108 years does stuff to you XP.

Did it set in during that huge parade? :P
