Sure things can change but right now it looks like not a lot of drama for the rest of the season. The league and it's advertisers still make zillions but the fans may lose an edge in many markets.. Yankees should shut it down and sell their stock while still reasonably high and the Mets may be waiting to pay off the Madoff money before they build an offense..If you have never been a fan of the game this may not be the year to start.
OT:MLB 6 divisions 6 runaways

- Start date
Pepper have you checked the standings ? Their plane would have to crash to even cut it to 5 games over the "Cards..
I have. I bet 2 or 3 current division leaders don't win the division. Cubs are great but let's not mistake them for the 84 Tigers yet.
Remember the 1964 Phillies!
Go CARDS!

PS I HATE Heyward / Lacke...wish them nothing but the worst!
Just stop with the Madoff money. When the deal went down the courts actually gave the Wilpons at least 75 million for being deceived by good friend Madoff. The Wilpons are plain cheap. Most of their money is tied up in real estate.
If anything the Wilpons have used madoff situation as an excuse, although obviously never publicly said that..I'm less hard on them the past 2 seasons as they've opened up the wallet a bit more. Should still be operating at higher payroll though all things considered- they're just straight up cheap
Divisions won't finish how they currently stand IMO

A lot more drama to come. AL East is going to come down to the wire between three teams. Houston is going to gain ground on Texas. Kansas City and Detroit will make things interesting in the Central. Dodgers likely won't catch SF but should be a wildcard. If the Mets starters get hot they can easily gain ground on Washington. TONS of baseball left
The Wilpons are a small market family in a super market city. I get that but they can be whatever they want as owners of the team They did pretty well last year and are not totally out of it despite my thesis here
But they could disappear in the next week or two if they are not careful. Having said that the Madoff money will be off the books sooner than later. At that point we will see who they really are. If you were in their situation you might not be so cynical.

Upon further review the OP says Let's go Mets...
Now that's manning up. Still a lot of baseball, and anything can happen. Mets are very streaky. Not sure if Nimmo is a good luck charm or they are feeding off his youth/energy, but I will take it. [banana]
The wild-card races are already exciting. And, just as Knight Shift suggests, it's a long way from over. For instance, I don't have a lot of faith in Baltimore and Cleveland.
On July 19, 1978 the soon to be World Champion Yankees were in 4th place, 14 games behind the Red Sox. The team was in shambles. The day before Billy Martin pulled Reggie Jackson from the outfield for lack a hustle and were close to fighting in the dugout. A week later Martin resigned after calling Reggie and born liar and George a convicted one, as his melt down continued.
