Baseball - June 2007

I think it's a little unfair that the NL Central has 6 teams competing for one playoff spot while the AL West only has 4 teams. I understand that they have to have it like this for scheduling purposes, but why wouldn't they go ahead and expand, and add two more teams to the AL? Then they could take the NFL route and have 4 divisions in the AL and 4 divisions in the NL, each with 4 teams. Then you just take away the wild card from the playoffs to keep it at 4 teams in each league. I like how MLB does the playoffs because it's just the top 4 teams from each league get in. Not like hockey or basketball where 16 total teams make it. and the NFL playoffs seem to drag out forever as well. What do you guys think about expanding the AL to include two more teams?

I think that Bonds is being screwed over by our country's constant practice of condemning people without any proof. I think that unless he tests positive for steroids, Bonds should be a hall of famer and should not have the home run record be tarnished. On the other hand McGwire and Canseco both admitted to taking steroids and i believe should be left out of the HOF

Fans are holding up Astrik signs when Bonds is at bat. I'm watching over the internet because I'm in MD. So I miss some details. And did Ortiz get ejected for throwing his helmet??

ever notice how almost all left handers have an uppercut swing, but very few righties do? the anatomy is the same so i am not sure why.....might it have something to do with facing more right handed pitchers growing up?

I have watched alot of baseball in my time, on tv and real life. I can swear i have seen a good four seamer jump from belt high to chest high. Is this just the amount of force and top spin that is put on the ball that can move it upward? almost like throwing an underhand upward curve? opposite the overhand traditional curve? or maybe its taking the reverse action of a splittler or sinking fastball? OR, is this a case of the ball is being released maybe 7 feet off the ground and ultimatly ends up 2 feet or 3 feet off the ground so it sinks the entire 60 feet, and a ball that apears to rise is simply thrown so hard with such forceful top spin that it does not sink quite as much? with a splitter, the reason it wants to run downward at the plate is basically because the sides of the ball want to spin harder than the middle? so does applying enough force to the middle make it actually rise? thanks

I'm just wondering. The AL has a designated hitter, while in the NL the pitcher bats. Why is this? Just for change? What brought this idea on that the pitchers should bat / there should be a designated hitter?
