I don't understand how they can celebrate him with all his baggage with steroids, cork bat, and being a diva with the cubs.

I'm a dedicated baseball player. The baseball culture is all I care about. What could I do to fill a niche for baseball players of all ages that makes enough money to live on or more?

You have steroids plaguing the majors. Major leaguers are more worried about the dollar than winning ball games. Major Leaguers are pampered and lazy.

I know you don't have the best players in the majors, but you can get seats right behind home plate for $10 at some parks. So it seems like minor league ball might be a bargain for someone that loves baseball and is tired of all the 'crap' in the majors.

Am I right?
What do you think?

they're in 2nd place, and it seems their offense has really started to do well specially frank thomas, vernon wells and the rest....if they keep up the .500 winning average or more will they have chances of getting into the playoffs?

For example in a scouting report on a player..."so and so has a plus slider and a plus-plus fastball that can top out at 98mph." Obviously a plus-plus is the highest rating for a pitch but what makes up the criteria?

I never liked these guys. They say dumb stuff.
Example:
Miller was just raving about Mags Ordonez (ok he is hitting .380)
But he's saying no ones close to his production in the AL at the plate.
WHILE HE SAYS THIS theres a graphic comparing Mags to ARod.
ARod hits more HR, has more RBI, scores more runs, slugs at a higher %.
And Miller still goes on about how no one's production is close!
WHAT the?

ok I'm done venting.

does anyone else hate these guys commentary?

I think Roberto Clemente had the greatest arm ever and was the best right fieldler.

Through today's (Sunday's) games, we find the AL East standings:

1. Boston 48-26 (.649)
3. New York 26-27 (.493)

The Yankees are 11 back, but let's play with the rest of the schedule.

If Boston maintains that .649 for its last 88 games, they'll go 57-31 (.648) for a final record of 105-57. Yow. To match that, the Yankees would have to play 69-20 (they have 89 games left) for a .775 winning percentage. Gotta say that that is not going to happen.

If Boston stumbles to a .500 record the rest of the way (44-44) and winds up 92-70 (.568), the Yankees would need to play 56-33, a .629 pace, to tie on the last day. Possible but extremely difficult.

It's not over until the magic number reaches zero, but it ain't lookin' too good in da Bronx, izzit?

Tick-tock, tick-tock,...

I'm a Red Sox fan awaiting the inevitable Yankee comeback. If they came back from 15 behind, would that break the record?

In today's game between the Yankees and the Giants, Mussina (NY) got the loss for getting two earned runs in 5 innings. However, the game ended 7-2. Why did he get the lose? If the relief pitchers had gotten no earned runs, it would have been a no-decision for him, and instead, because of the relief pitchers, he gets the loss. Shouldn't the loss be given to the relief pitcher who had gotten the third run scored?

Angels at home and batting bottom of 10th with a tie score. Runners at 1st and 2nd, the runner on 2nd being the potential winning run. Batter Aybar hits it to RF which bounces over the fence for a would be "ground rule" automatically sending the winning run home. After Aybar touches 1st base he turns around and heads to the dugout for the celebration. TV announcer says that because Aybar didn't make it to 2nd that he will be credited with a single.
Question- Is this typical for a walk off "ground rule double" to be scored a single, or if Aybar continued to run to 2nd it would have been scored a double?

After this weekend, baseball has actually caught my attention for the first time in 15 years. Two great teams that I would love to see meet again.

Ever watch a Red Sox game when they're playing on the road? A couple of weeks ago they were in Phoenix playing against the Diamondbacks, and I swear that the Red Sox fans in attendance at Chase Field outnumbered D-backs fans by 2 to 1. Even some of the D-back players were complaining about this to the media.

Today they were playing against the Padres in San Diego and it looks as though there were slightly more Red Sox fans than Padres fans.

The Red Sox (pound for pound) have a higher percentage of fan support during road games than any other ballclub...is there something magical about this team that endears them to the common American?
