Baseball - May 2007

I'm amused how Boston fans crown themselves World Chamions and unbeatable right now having the best record in the A.L.(barely) in a pathetic division. While Cleveland is in the best division with a 29-17 record-with their 1-3 starting pitchers a a combined 17-3 with a 3.41 ERA. I recognize Boston's bullpen is stronger then Clevealnd's and that won't change. But these Cleveland starters are averaging 8 innings a game. I don't believe Boston's hitting is better. Once again a product of Teeing off on the A.L. East. If you could set your starting rotation and throw CC Sabathia vs Josh Beckett, Curt Schilling vs Fausto Carmona, and Paul Byrd vs this DICE K--how is Cleveland at that much of a disadvantage? Actually considering he has completely overwhelmed Johan Santana twice this year and posts a 6-1 record with a ERA in the mid 2's-I'd throw Carmona at Beckett. And Cleveland will hit Dice K, you can bet on that. Why do people give Cleveland zero chance?

NY is paying A-Rod and Clemens more than what well over half the teams are paying their rosters.

With the Yankees around 300 million, Red Sox over 200 million, Mets over 150 million and team like the Pirates at 35 million, A's at 40 million and Marlins at 35 should there be a cap in MLB.

he has 19 HRs now only 5 of pace of bonds at this point when he broke the record. arod also gets like 550-600 ABs a season so that means he is on pace for like 65 HRs so he could have another hot streak and be up to around 70 HRs. anyway what do you think the chances are of him beating it and how many HRs will he finish with?

When a player gets a solo home run, do they get a RBI?
and if they get a 2-run home run, is that considered one or two RBIs?

Sure, he just passed Dennis Eckersley in wins, but he's more than 200 behind in saves.

It will be interesting to see how things are orchestrated to get Smoltz inducted with Maddux and Glavine in the same year.

When he hit the bird with a pitched ball, was it called a ball or just not counted at all?

Did he forget about his grand jury testimony, and how BALCO named him as a big customer? Or did he forget he admitted he used steroids - on accident. Spouting off in defense of Giambi, it appears like he forgot about his own use.

How has Roger Clemens lasted so long? How did Tony Gwynn hit .394 in 1994, when a lot of the power numbers also increased? How did Cal Ripken make it through the last few years of his streak?

Performance-enhancing can improve statistics in other areas besides home runs. Extra strength can get ground balls past infielders and fast balls by hitters.

How did Greg Maddux have such low ERAs in an era when hitting dominated?

It pains me to ask these questions, but they seem fair, especially with Barry Bonds about to break Hank Aaron's record.

Why is there an American League and a National League? Why don't they just disband the two and have every team play against each other during the regular season? It also seems pointless to reward 2 MVPs, 2 Cy Youngs, etc...

I live in northern new england and there are some Yankee fans here who wear it like a badge and take a lot of grief for it. Are there Boston fans in New York who go through the same thing?

Lets just say for the sake of argument you are Barry Bonds' personal trainer. Of course you're a convicted steroid distributor and money launderer who pled guilty to and served time in jail for working for a criminal enterprise which existed to disguise steroids and send them to athletes all over the world.

You're of course "innocent" of giving "Innocent Barry" steroids. You can either tell a grand jury the "truth" that you never gave Bonds any steroids and he never asked for them or used them - OR you can just sit in a jail cell indefinately. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?????

Jamie Moyer, pitching for Philadelphia, beat Atlanta today (May 25, 2007). Moyer's win came 20 years and two days after the only other time he beat the Braves. On May 23, 1987, Moyer earned the win in relief as the Cubs beat the Braves in Chicago.

Has there been a pitcher who took longer between two wins over the same team?
