From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Bradfo is joined by Matt Spiegel of 670 The Score in Chicago to try and make sense of his upside-down world in the Major League Baseball Standings, so far. The Pirates. The Rangers. The Orioles. The Diamondbacks. And, the team Matt follows every day, the Cubs. They have all gone a long way to shocking baseball with their early-season success, leaving smiles on fans who haven't turned those frowns upside down in some time. Conversely, there are teams like the White Sox — another club Spiegel is very familiar with — offering perhaps the most disappointing group thus far. It's not only even a month in, but what a ride it has been.
