No. I'm saying it's not that shocking that LaRussa would pick Pujols to DH instead of Lee and give his member of his team a night off practically.
Good DP by the O's |

Man I'm usually a big Joe Buck fan but he is swinging and missing quite a bit tonight.
"Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon are out which means all the hair stylists are turning off the game." No, Joe, no. |

Vlad and ARod can both hit as good as Pujols but they can also play D and run a lot better than our boy Albert. Best player in the NL yes but not both leagues. |

If there are any Rangers fans out there get used to that, Rogers will be lucky to have an ERA under 7 the second half

I'm pretty sure it's a Chevy thing since they put it over the Chevy sign and the announcers commented on it which I doubt they would do if it wasn't.

Big whoop? lol
He's 3rd (maybe 4th?) in the AL in homeruns, and leads the AL in RBIs. Those aren't just "good power numbers" those are great power numbers. As a lead off hitter Ichiro is suppose to be around the tops in batting average, this year he is probably the 3rd best lead off hitter in the AL. Comparing Manny to Adam Dunn is laugable aswell, Dunn does have 23 dinners but has way less RBIs (52 to Manny's 80 and his batting average is a kot lower than Ramirez's (.239 - .275) Manny is a terrible fielding outfielder but he does lead the league in outfield assists |

That's why I said put Adam Dunn in his spot. If Adam Dunn or a similar power hitter had Johnny Damon, Edgar Renteria, and David Oritz in front of him he'd have a few more RBI's, no? RBI numbers are overblown because of the team, Pujols is probably gonna have more RBI's than Derrek Lee by the end of the season, but that's because the Cubs suck, Pujols almost always has someone on base when he hits.
It doesn't matter what rank Ichiro is among leadoff hitters because that's not how the team is selected, it's by defensive positions. Let's look at how they compare on the 5 tools used to determine a player's overall abilities. Hitting for avg: Ichiro 35 points higher BA no contest. Hitting for power: Manny 23 (I think) homers to 6, no contest Arm: Ichiro Sure Manny has more assists but that is because nobody even thinks about running on Ichiro. Manny has an above average arm and Ichiro has one of the top 3 or 4 arms in baseball. Ask Terrence Long. Glove: Ichiro Manny is a joke with the glove and Ichiro has played 4 years in America and has won 4 gold gloves. Speed: Ichiro Ichiro has stolen more bases this season than Manny has in the last 8 years Ichiro > Manny |

I dunno, Ichiro didn't deserve to start this year IMO. He's not doing bad, but it has been an off year for him.
