We've all encountered people who, for one reason or another, insist that baseball is simply too boring to watch, too slow-paced for their liking. I'm here to tell you that laughing at those folks is an entirely acceptable response, for they clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
With roughly five weeks left in the regular season, we have five division races in which the second-place team sits no more than five games off the lead. A third of the teams in baseball are within five games of a wild-card berth.
That's more than enough to get those of us with a pulse excited, and the rumblings and grumblings on the rumor mill only add to the intrigue and anticipation of what's to come, both in 2015 and beyond.
Will another manager lose his job before the end of the regular season? Is Chase Utley the missing link in Los Angeles? Has a toolsy outfielder done enough to guarantee himself a massive payday this offseason?
We'll tackle all of that and more in this week's edition of "Fact or Fiction."
