The Astros called up righthander Fernando Nieve from Triple-A Round Rock today and moved right fielder Hunter Pence into the leadoff spot in the batting order.

If you had asked anyone... and I mean ANYONE, at the start of the season which teams would be in the top 5 power ranking positions 1/4 of the way through the season, how many do you think would have guessed D-Backs, Cubs, Rays, Astros and A's with the Marlins in the 6th spot.

It's not often I'm watching the Pirates play the Cubs with a lot of interest.

Anyway, the game is going to start soon.

The Pre-Game show ( The Lead-Off Man ) is going to start in roughly 10 minutes at 1 p.m.

The first pitch is going to be at 1:20 p.m.

The Astros have played only 17 games at MMP so far. The White Sox have played the fewest at home so far, 16.

Hopefully that bodes well for the Astros with so many of their remaining games at MMP(Astros are 11-6 at home).

Baseball Tonight will air at 11pm central time on ESPN2 or ESPN2 HD for a full hour. If you have comcast that will be 34 or 293 respectively on your cable boxes. If you do not have Comcast then I recommend looking up the channels. If you have Dish, well, too bad because my friends with Dish don't get Fox Sports and that plain sucks.

Let's rank the early leaders in the fantasy MVP and Cy Young races.

Most Valuable Player:

5. Chipper Jones, 3B, Braves: While he's been a bit of a bargain, the other guys on this list are all hitting for power and average as well, though not as much average, of course, and a few run. Still, you wouldn't have predicted Jones would be a top-five MVP candidate in fantasy this late in the season.
