Hard to take Leyland seriously when he's the same guy who batted Alexis Gomez (.125) fifth in front of Chris Shelton and Carlos Guillen.

Shelton is a fluke

He's a fluke in the sense that hes not going to keep hitting homers at this pace but he is still the best hitter on that team and is going to hit 35+ homers with a .900 OPS.

I don't see him hitting more than 35 this season. My estimate would be 30-35.

Randy Johnson not looking good at all, looking a lot like the beginning of last year. When you are up 4-0 going into the bottom of the first you don't expect to be losing 4-6 in the bottom of the second.

Haven't really payed much attention to the Blue Jays at all, looks like they are hitting well so far though. I think they said 9 of their players are batting .300 or higher.

Shelton put in a ton of work during the offseason. I think he may have actually reported to Lakeland before the pitchers and catchers this year, just so he could have extra time to work out at the team facilities.
The thing is, he'll keep getting pitches because he's the #6 hitter on the team. That lineup is so stacked, that they can't pitch around him because odds are that some combination of Granderson, Polanco, Pudge, Magglio, or D Young will aleady be on base with Guillen, Monroe, and Inge (all capable hitters) following behind him. So, I don't think 35 or maybe even 40 HRs are out of the question for him. |

Going to the Mets game tomorrow. Glavine vs. Hudson, should be pretty fun.
Some Mets fans REALLY piss me off though. They are 10-3, best record in the league, 4 games up in the NL East ..but even when they play like absolute crap for one game (with their least reliable pitcher on the hill and missing 3 regulars, including 2 of their best 4 hitters), they preach hellfire and declare tomorrow's game to be the whole season ![]() Fucking morons. Anyways, pumped for the game...hopefully at least one of Floyd/Beltran can come back. |

oh and when Benji Molina tags up of a fly ball and makes it to third without a throw, you know Damon's arm is bad. BUT he sure made a lot of nice running cathces tonight.

Hopefully by platooning at both corner infield spots someone will develope some serious trade value. Hinske and Hillenbrand could be packaged into something pretty nice if Hillenbrand starts to heat up. |

Wow, awful call by the 2nd base ump in the Yankees/Blue Jays game. The ump called Damon out when the 2nd baseman clearly never was holding onto the ball. The ump called him out, then was confused and calls him safe. Then ultimately just calls him out for good.

Still not had a Yankee game in the UK this season
![]() I'm hoping Mussina can do what he does best tonight and give us a good outing...But Vernon Wells is on my fantasy team so i want him to go atleast 5-5, just no RBI's or extra bases. I hate divided loyalties ![]() |

Thanks for fucking my fantasy team's pitching stats over for the week by leaving Westbrook out there, Eric Wedge
![]() Also, Jose Valentin badly needs to be given some steroids. Let him get power back for a few games, then we can lose him when he is suspended as a result ![]() Last edited by Evil Vito; 04-19-2006 at 09:15 PM. |

The Jays are playing too many games earlier than normal so far this year. This pisses me off as I miss them due to having to work for a living.
Is this the same for other teams? IE playing earlier than normal. |

Anyone think its weird how minor leaguers keep constantly getting caught while guys in the majors arent? Could mean a different number of things; dudes in the minors not having enough resources to hide it, minor leagues taking it to get to the "next level," or maybe the MLB is going out of their way to catch these guys to show that they their system is actaully working. Pretty sure the minors got a stricter testing policy too though since there is no players union or anything (if I remember correctly, Selig put it into place one year before MLB got one)

Prob has something to do with alot more players being in the minors. That and guys who know they won't make it unless they cheat

And there is the issue that the minor league players aren't as well informed in terms of knowing exactly what they are taking.

Holy crap, Matsui entered the record books last year by becoming the first player ever to hit a HR in his first AB of the season for 2 straight seasons...
and now he extended that streak with an inside-the-park HR in his first AB this year ![]() |

Seanez is fuckin awful, damn he has pitched awful every single time he has gone out there it seems. Even Foulke pitched pretty decent tonight and that dude has to blow it. Papelbon was lights out again thoughhh
SkyDome or Rogers Center or whatever its called now has a pretty shitty atmosphere, sounded like nobody was there until the 9th inning. |
