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 = for fantasy baseball

So let get this straight, Red Sox where smacking the Jays yesterday but then made a bad decision leaving the starter in too long allowing Toronto to get back into the game and they lost in extra innings. Now granted the Sox are getting smacked today, but for the most part the majority of the games between the 2 teams have been pretty close (decided by 1 or 2 runs) As for the "world beaters" you talked about earlier, didn't the Blue Jays lose 2 outta 3 to Tampa Bay?

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.

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.

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?

It's not even about that, it's that no matter how good or bad these teams are or who is on them, they are always going to be on TV. This year the Blue Jays, White Sox, A's, Brewers, and hell even the Rockies look to be some of the best teams in their respective divisions but that isn't going to get them any closer to getting more Sunday Night games (unless they happen to be playing the Braves, Yanks, BoSox, Cards, Mets, Cubs or Bonds's). And it shouldn't even always be about the best teams either, they should show Pirates/Reds every once in a while just so we can see every team. ESPN analysts complain about how guys like Todd Helton, Jason Bay, Mark Teixiera etc. are "underrated"; well maybe if you showed their team's games every once in a while insetad of Cardinals vs. Cubs every single week, more people would rate them higher.

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.

They also traded Chone Figgins for Kimera Bartee.

Perhaps.

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.
