Bonds broke the record.
LOL a Mets fan caught the ball and was getting forced out by security Hank Aaron on the video board congratulating him We all know he juiced but so did 80% of the players out there. Prolly gonna cut the headline out of the paper tomorrow |

All you guys lied! All of y'all and the story have lied. Should you have asterisks behind your name? All of you lied. All of you have said something wrong. All of you have dirt. When your closet's clean, then come clean somebody else's ... What did I do? What did I do? What are you going to apologize for when you're wrong? This is old stuff. I mean, it's like watching Sanford and Son. It's just rerun after rerun after rerun. It's almost comical, basically. We've got alcohol that's the No. 1 killer in America, and we legalize that. You've got tobacco, No. 2 or 3 killer in America. We legalize that. There's other issues. It's become Hard Copy all day long. Are you guys jealous? Are you upset? Disappointed? What? ... I don't know if steroids are going to help you in baseball. I just don't believe it.

Shea Hillenbrand opted out of his contract, and has been released by the Padres.
-------- I saw every one of his recent minor league games first hand, and the guy played like he didn't even want to be out there. He showed a total lack of respect for the game of baseball.

As a 2B I think he is borderline. Only due to lack of Post Season success and his dominant period was short. But he has the numbers. If he was any other psoistion HELL NO. But there has been a lack of good hitting 2Bman in history, and this guy is really underrated. |

Moneyball has never been about running. Stealing is a sin to Billy Beane. How much running has Giambi, Nick Swisher, Scott Hatteberg, or Kevin Youkilis done in their careers. Those are the big moneyball players. its all about OBP, patience at the plate, and keeping it cheap. try reading the book. It makes it easier to comment on it. |

Moneyball is NOT an on-field strategy. I don't know why you dumbshits still don't get this. It has nothing to do with not bunting, not stealing, and trying to draw walks. ALL IT IS is a general managing strategy in which you try to go after players who's value aren't recognized by the Red Sox and Yankees and therefore can be signed for cheaper. The Red Sox have figured it out now, getting on base is the single most valuable offensive skill. Players the A's could've quietly signed in 01 or 02 are now getting multi-year contract offers from Theo Epstein. That's why they have to look to other areas where the big guys aren't looking, and right now it's defense. Yes, I get that Billy Beane doesn't like to steal or bunt. But that doesn't have anything to do with Moneyball. So now that I've explained it to you, maybe you can read it again and make some sense out of it this time, mmkay? |

It was an important record broken last night, but ESPN is acting like this is the biggest story ever in the world.

Aaron Harang is by a wide margin the most under appreciated player in baseball. He was first in the NL in Ks and wins last year and didn't get a single Cy Young vote and he's having another great year this year all while playing in a horrible pitcher's park and nobody notices. Well I notice, Aaron, and you'll always have someone watching your back.

Can you imagine all the pitchers the A's had at one time???????/ Zito, Harang, Hudson, Mulder, Haren, and Harden. Each of them in their primes would be a WS caliber Pitching squad.

The guy was a 1st round pick, showed up in a book, so I msure more people know his name at least. The fact that he considered a bust until now also helps explain why he is unknown. I want to see him do it again next year. Harang really came out last year, and is a legit Ace. I am nowhere near a Reds fan,but I really do like most of their players. They could be a great team with some Free Agent help. I just went to a Norfolk Tides (Orioles) game when they played the reds AAA team (loisville). They have some nice AAA talent. Joey Vatto should be their starting 1Bman next year, and it would be nice if Jorge Cantu could regain his 100+ rbi form. |

Sorry Miz, but you are wrong. Joe Morgan says MoneyBall is about station to station baseball with patient batters. Joe Morgan knows everything, he's clutch.

I hope to see Cantu get back into his 100 plus RBI form myself.

actually come to think of it, the benches were warned after Towers hit ARod. Clemens hit him after the warning, so it's pretty automatic.
