One month into the baseball season: Chicago White Sox are in first place

It's still very early in the baseball season, but one month into it, I'm pleased to proclaim that the Chicago White Sox are in first place.

True, they're just 14-12, and the teams that the experts thought would dominate the AL Central, Detroit and Cleveland, are off to a slow start. But beefore Opening Day the division was viewed as possibly the toughest in baseball.

Still, first place is first place.

A pleasant surprise for the White Sox is pitcher Gavin Floyd, who spent half of last year's season in the minors, the other half with the South Siders was a disappointment--he was 1-5.

This year he's 2-1, with a 3.12 earned run average. He took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Tigers three weeks ago.
