Alright, I'm just gonna come out and say that this hasn't been my top priority, and it's probably because my picks are so terrible this year. Regardless, here's the latest update after hitting the approximate 90 game mark:

So we've got 70 games left. Plenty of time. I've lost the D-backs and Reds, but I picked up the Phillies thanks to the Mets nearly putting me in a mental hospital and my father in intensive care, yet somehow winning 3 of 4 from the Phils. The D-backs have shocked me. Although I wasn't confident in the back end of their bullpen, I really thought their young vibrant lineup (did you see Justin Upton's missle the other night?) and dominant 1-2 starting pitching would carry them. The Reds were a gamble, but there's still hope. The Indians, after trading C.C. Sabbathia have now conceded the season, thanks guys.
For Mike, things are looking a little better as he picks up the Reds and the Blue Jays. While the Twins are making him look SMRT, the Mariners, Cards and Rays have embarrassed him.
Still a long way to go. I'll update this again at some point.
