More fun useless facts from espn:

Stuck in the middle (and everywhere else). Finally, there's something about the AL East that looks familiar. The standings, for instance. At the top, the Yankees and Red Sox are guaranteed to finish 1-2, in that order, for the fifth straight year. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that's never happened -- in any league, any division, any season. But that's not all. Unless the Orioles get real hot this week or the Blue Jays forget to win again, the entire division is going to wind up in the exact same order again, too -- for the fifth straight season. Obviously, that's never happened, either. So ... anyone want to place a wager it won't happen again next year? Not us.
