Say A-Rod hit his 500th HR and didnt hit no more the rest of the season (which a season ending injury would be the only way that happened) He would have to avg 30 HR a season for 10 seasons to be at exactly 800 HR.

God ESPN has tumbled downhill. Baseball Tonight used to be the greatest show on television but now they can't even hire an analyst who doesn't stutter. Eric Young and Eduardo Perez fucking suck.

What would happen if Bonds and A-Rod were at bat at the same time? How would ESPN know what to show? The world would probably explode

On another note, how can anyone say that Hank Aaron wasn't on steroids? Nobody outside of sports even knew what they were at the time, and there was no drug testing or anything

Gonna be interesting to see what happens when the Yanks and O's pick up their suspended game from June 28th.
If A-Rod hits a home run in it, then the homer he hit on Wednesday would statistically be considered #500. ![]() |

Interesting little bit here:
KANSAS CITY -- How's this for a twist? For record-keeping purposes, Alex Rodriguez may have already hit his 500th home run. The statistical confusion stems from the June 28 suspended game at Baltimore, which the Yankees are primed to complete Friday prior to their regularly scheduled game against the Orioles. For all intents and purposes, Rodriguez is stuck in a time warp in his chase for 500 home runs. Thus, he could conceivably hit career homer No. 493 at Baltimore on Friday, making his homer Wednesday off Kansas City's Gil Meche No. 500, as statistics in the suspended game will be attributed to having occurred June 28. "It is a little unusual, when you consider the stats count in that game, even though the result has not been decided yet," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "Go figure that one out." The Yankees were leading Baltimore 8-6 when umpires halted play in the top of the eighth inning, leaving Rodriguez on deck. Rodriguez is 0-for-3 with an RBI in the frozen contest. Rodriguez, who is virtually assured of becoming the youngest player to ever hit 500 home runs whenever he does accomplish the feat, hit what he believed to be his 499th in the eighth inning Wednesday off Meche, a line-drive two-run shot to right-center. But if Rodriguez homers in Friday's suspended game, statistical records would indicate that the home run off Meche was in fact his 500th career home run. All of Rodriguez's round-number milestones have come on the road: he hit No. 100 on Aug. 12, 1998, at Toronto; No. 200 on May 21, 2001, at Chicago; No. 300 on April 2, 2003, at Anaheim; and No. 400 on June 8, 2005, at Milwaukee. Rodriguez entered Thursday leading the Major Leagues with 35 home runs and 102 RBIs, and is the first player in history to hit 35 or more home runs and drive in 100 or more runs in 10 consecutive seasons. He's batting .311 for the Yankees, who trail the Red Sox by 6 1/2 games for the American League East lead. |

Lowe, Penny, Wolf, all hurting. Schmidt already on the DL. This is terrible. We have to have Hendrickson and Tomko in our rotation regularly now.

A few trade tidbits. Some you might know already, some happened overnight.
Indians acquire outfielder Kenny Lofton from the Texas Rangers for catcher Max Ramirez White Sox acquired pitcher Michael Dubee from the Philadelphia Phillies for second baseman Tadahito Iguchi. Devil Rays acquired pitchers Calvin Medlock and Brian Shackelford and future considerations from the Cincinnati Reds for infielder Jorge Cantu, outfielder Shaun Cumberland and cash. I remember someone here saying Ty Wigginton being floated around. Devil Rays acquired pitcher Dan Wheeler from the Houston Astros for infielder Ty Wigginton. |

And also. Shea Hillenbrand has a job again. Padres picked him up on a minor league deal.

Its actually pretty funny because lately the Yankees have been keeping Farnsworth under wraps and not letting him pitch much. I'm guessing that was to preserve whatever trade value he somehow had.

Some good trades made all around thus far. I really like Wheeler to the D-Rays.
The latest talk is that we're going to make a move for Gagne. I don't know the hell we would give up for him though. I'm hearing Ian Kennedy and someone else. I don't really think it will get done though. Imagine that, a bullpen with Mariano Rivera and Eric Gagne. Ridiculous. |

Hopefully its not Kennedy. Kennedy is pretty much our #3 pitching prospect behind Hughes and Joba right now and it would suck to lose him for half a year of injury-proned Gagne. Unless they can get Gagne to extend his contract it would kind of be a waste. And I doubt he'd do that because I'm guessing he wants to close. A Gagne/Rivera 8 and 9th would be nice to think about though.

Tampa's move to improve their bullpen in the last two trades shows that a team can make the proper improvements at the trade deadline even when they aren't in the race.
I'm quite certain I've mentioned it before, that it's my opinion that if the DRays can improve heir pitching starter and relief they will be the team of the future in the AL East. |

Reading about the Mariner's interest in Kei Igawa. Now I'm sure a certain pair of Japanese players in Seattle might like that, but hasn't Igawa proven himself a flop?
Not so sure that's the arm the Mariners need. |

I read a lot of teams were interested in Dimitri Young espically the Padres, Braves, and many of the AL contenders as a DH but the Nats signed him to an extension. I heard that the Reds might trade Scott Hatteberg to the Padres for a middle relief prospect.
