By Salvador PaezVersatility and ease have always been the keys to a laptop computer's success> moving beyond being just a hand-carry version of the larger desktop computer, the laptop has gained popularity as a partner in many endeavors like travel, business, leisure, data gathering and other countless possibilities.

No Change at the top two spots this week. A crazy start to the season, things are starting to play out the way they were supposed to. Team Last Week 1. Cubs 49-31- Getting swept by the Rays their number one spot was in jeopardy, but they bounced back well with a sweep of the White Sox. They just better hope Big Z can come back strong from his shoulder injury. Red Sox 49-32- Dice-K must pitch better than he did in his first start back from the DL. Hit a little road bump in the road against the Cards, but this team is the class of the AL. Kazmir, Garza and Shields are a nasty top 3 and if Percival stays healthy they can actually win the AL East. HUGE series coming up with the Red Sox next week. Angles 48-31- Lackey is back and is rolling. Twins 43-36- I am embarrassed I had them at 19 last week. They are pitching really well right now, but I’m sorry if I have no confidence in Looper, Loshe and Pineiro. Brewers 43-35- They have been red hot in June and put themselves back in the race. White Sox 44-35- They have to bounce back from getting embarrassed by their cross-town rivals last week. Tigers 38-40- It is scary to think that the whole team may have slumped at the same time. Phillies 43-27- Games against the BoSox, Angles and A’s brought this team back to Earth. Aubrey Huff is on fire and Brian Roberts is back up to his usual numbers. No pitching and the AL East will keep them .500 all year. They need Pedro to pitch better and desperately need a LF. Rangers 40-40 Vicente Padilla has pitched really well, but no one else has. The Rays kicked their teeth in and proved which surprise Florida team is for real. Pirates 37-41- Jason Bay is back to his old ways and McLouth continues to hit. They went 5-1 against the NL JV this week but that wont last. Indians 36-43- This 91 win team in 07 has the same record as the Royals in 08.
