Fuckin Jays could actually contend for the playoffs this year with the hitting they've got, but i guess as always it all depends on pitching. Though Vernon Wells =

Also take a look at who you rocked, he isn't even a starting pitcher, Papelbon was suppose to take over incase of an injury in the rotation but he is too busy being the best closer in baseball and he didn't cost the Red Sox 50 millon dollars either ![]() Oh yeah - I don't play for the Red Sox, so I dunno why you keep refering to me like I do. Buttt just like everyone else, we'll see whats up at the end of the season. |

I am not sure how it will turn out, but I am worried about the Wildcard. Since the Jays seem to be pretty legit this year, Red Sox are obviously good and the Yankees line up is flat out ridiculous it'll be tough for a team to win the wildcard in the AL East. I hope the Red Sox can win the East outright, but the WC only improves the chance of making the playoffs obviously.

Indians bats have been on fire this year, 6 guys above .300. Blake and Haf among others have started the year well. Getting shut out a week ago to the Tigers started something.
Just a pity about the defence not being able to back up the run support. That and losing 2 relievers in one inning, as well as CC hasn't helped. |

An examination by Cubs doctors in Chicago Thursday determined that Lee has two broken bones in his right wrist. The Cubs' first baseman fractured the distal radial and distal ulna bones in a collision with the Dodgers' Rafael Furcal in Los Angeles Wednesday night. Lee is expected to be in a cast up to six weeks.

he's not got enough zip on his fastball and he's not hitting the corners (yet) like he needs to, to be successful.

Nice to see Johnson have such a good outing after that last one.
8 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits (all by Tejada). Two nice starts in a row for the Yankees, Chacon and then Johnson today, hasn't happened often this year. Hopefully Moose continues to pitch well and does in his next start. AL East is gonna be ridiculous this year. |

Have the Devil Rays next, so hopefully that series goes well. Jays and Sox are after that so it would be nice to have some momentum going into those series.

Last Johnson start looked like he had a dead arm. Sounds like if that was the case, he's over it.

ESPN sucks. According to them, the only teams in baseball are:
St. Louis Cardinals Chicago Cubs Atlanta Braves New York Yankees Boston Red Sox New York Mets Barry Bonds Boring. Why can't the game of the week ever be Rangers/Indians? Phillies/D'backs? Twins/Blue Jays? |

Generally it means we get good games here in the UK, although i think it was back in 99 or 00, we got atleast a dozen stinking Orioles games because ESPN got it wrong

Damn Esteban Loaiza is terrible. Hitting 82 on the gun and probably isn't going to make his next start due to a combination of back spasms and sucking. What a waste of money that would be if Saarloos steps up in his spot and pitches like he did last year and Loaiza is left with nothing to contribute.

Yankees lead the AL in ERA and are first in MLB in runs scored. I'm thinking we'll do ok.

I just read that once in 2000, Toronto put this deal on the table:
Toronto gets: SP Pedro Astacio RP Jose Jiminez Colorado gets: SP Roy Halladay SP Chris Carpenter OF Vernon Wells ...and Colorado turned it down, because the owner didn;t want to trade the popular Astacio |

1. Roy Halladay
2. Chris Carpenter 3. Jason Jennings 4. Jeff Francis 5. Aaron Cook Would be the best rotation in the NL |

Actually, the way I understood it, it was just for Vernon Wells. But yes, the Rockies owners are morons. They also turned down an Astacio for Alfonso Soriano trade that same summer.

I wish Toronto wouldn't have given up on Carpenter. Coming up he was the better prospect over Halladay. Carpenter's injuries slowed down his development big time but the Jays should have kept him.

Hard to say what kind of success he would've had had he stayed in Toronto. Nowhere near the success in St. Louis, I can guarantee you that much.

When he came up he was a harder thrower had great movement on his change up. Now that he's in St. Louis, I don't get to see him, but I wonder iof he is still throwing with the same type of zip. |
