Hey everyone, writing times are tough here at NLEC.  I’m still looking for some writers to write about just about anything NL East related… game recaps, editorials, plenty of stuff!

Contact me at mrose@nleastchatter.com or on twitter @nleastchatter if interested!

Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, it’s time to take a look at the standings and see how your team is faring.  With a  third of the season in the books, it’s not too early to get excited about a team’s hot start – or too worried about a team’s struggles.  As of June 4, here are the NL East standings:



The NL East is shaping up to be a 3 team race between the Phillies, Marlins, and Braves.  Meanwhile, the Mets and Nationals continue to struggle as most had predicted coming into the season.

What will happen between now and the trade deadline?   Will the Phillies add a bat?  Will the Marlins stay in the race? Will Dan Uggla get off of the interstate?  Will the Mets trade Jose Reyes (or go bankrupt)?  Will the Nationals ask Jayson Werth for their money back?
