Heard the Sox last again..god damn
I didnt really see any of the game, but they better make the playoffs this year. With that Roster I really don't see how they aren't atleast a Wildcard winner ![]() |

Texas loss today is the start of a big losing streak, trust me. The lack of pitching depth is finally going to haunt them which is why Oakland will be taking the West and Boston the wildcard

Lol. We have a tough August, but at least we are playing good now so I'm confident that nobody creeps up on us now.

Well it's definately not Chicago, the only team that has a chance to sneak up is Cleveland if they can get really hot and the Twins slack off a little. But I doubt it considering how much more experienced the Twins are. They'll probably have to face the Yankees in the 1st round again though

I think we would most likely play the A's in the first round actually. I'm not sure how it works, but our record will either be 2nd or 3rd best while the Yankee's are the best, so I am pretty sure the only way we would play them is if Boston got the Wildcard and we were third in the AL. I don't know if that makes any sense?
Cleveland will be real good in a year or two, but they don't have the pitching to catch up this year. I think we have a better chance of upsetting them this year than last. As of todays newspaper Santana is the AL leader in ERA as well as K's, Juan Rincon has a 9-4 record with the second best ERA as a middle reliever, Joe Nathan is one of the top closers in the AL this year, and Radke is top 15 in ERA. If we could somehow get Miguel Batista through wavers I wouldn't call us a huge underdog if we played right now. Than again, a lot will probably change, they will have everyone back and we won't be as hot, so meh. |

By the way, The Cardinals are my second team and are running away with the NL now, but it is a stretch to say that they are a better team than the Cubs. Come playoff time when the Cubs are healthy, good offense great pitching, that will be the series of the year.

So 4 Yankee starters in a row pitched 8 strong innings getting the win...But our starting pitching sucks right?
Also, how good is El Duque since he's been back? ![]() |

Your starting pitching sucks when Kevin Brown is on the DL and Mussina is underachieving. You have like six pitchers, I would assume Brown, Mussina, Vazquez, maybe El Duque start in the playoffs.
Johan and Radke are both pitching better than your 1 and 2 guys this year, but underestimating the small market is only an advantage to us. |

If I was Torre I'd leave out Loaiza. If you're trying to make a playoff run I don't see how you can leave a former World Series MVP out of the rotation

I'd have to agree, Hernandez and Brown both have a fair amount of post season and world series experience, Vazquez has been the one constant this year for them and Mussina has been much been one of the top AL pitchers of the last decade +

I just wish the marlins could accuratly balance there pitching, if there roation does well, the offence does jack, if there offence puts good numbers, the pitching seems to struggle, i dont see us making the ground in the wildcard and the braves are on such a run i dont think we can catch them either

Yeah there's something about Pro Player, the look of it that just isn't as appealing as most modern ballparks

I like Pro Player, at least it looks cool in video games.
The Miz, Ichiro is the man. I was so excited when I watched his average rise in the past two weeks. You've got yourself a clean stud in Ichiro. I'm glad he's back to form, and I like the M's too, its too bad they stink this year. Its kind of funny how far I-Rod's average fell and how fast, did anyone else notice that? My only connection to the baseball world in the past two weeks has been the Plattsburgh, New York newspaper's box scores, so I've been looking at all that crack. |

I thought this was funny, a few days ago Frank Thomas was quoted saying "The way the Twins are playing right now we should be able to walk away with the division"

The last play of the Twins/Mariners game, the Twins announcers were speculating "It looks like his arm" after Koskie was down rolling on the ground and getting slid into by Bloomquist. Then they showed the replay and it was pretty apparant that he got a helmet to the groin, but the announcers couldn't say it, it seemed funny.

Where's all the love for the Dodgers? They've been as hot as the Cards since the all star break and haven't let up. Even with no real ace, they still continue to plod away with Beltre having an MVP year. If the Cards can get away with their rotation, I think the Dodgers rotation can take them on with Penny, Perez, Lima and Weaver with Gagne to close. Or maybe I'm just too die hard of a Dodgers fan.

I think they would have been better to keep Mota, but getting Finley was key and its cool that they're making the playoffs again. Also, I think Beltre should win the gold glove at third. Thats really all I think though.
