Baseball - August 2007

Ichito had a seven year career batting average in Japan of .353 and a total of 1,278 hits. This is his seventh year in MLB and he has an additional 1,539 hits here and will finish this season with around 2,900 in his baseball career to date. At his current pace he would smash the career hit record of Pete Rose and finish his career with around 4,500 hits. In his seven years in MLB he has never had less than 200 hits in a season, never hit less than .300, never scored less than 100, and has averaged more than 40 stolen bases per season. In addition to all of this he just might have the strongest and most accurate throwing arm in the game today, he is a great teammate, a total team player, great in the dugout, runs out every groundball at full speed, never argues with the umpires, and has never been tossed from a game in his entire career. Can anyone tell me why he should not be considered the best all-around player in the game today?

do you think that the yankees will have a chance at winning the wild or even be able to beat out the red sox to win the division.

That article in USA today was sick. Americas team? The Yankees are and will always be baseballs most popular team. The Red Sox wouldnt have any fans if they didnt win the World Series in 2004.

I just read an article on Yahoo about how Little leaguers should be paid when playing in the little League World Series, since it's a televised event. The guy says each player should be paid $1000 for every game they play. i think this is ridiculous because the little leaguers are in it for the pure joy of being able to play in front of America, and for the joy of winning the World Series. i just wanted to know other peoples opinion on this. Thanks!!!

I think that minus 200 HR's he would still be an automatic Hall of Famer. I won't list all of his great accomplishments...I am sure you are aware of them. Do you remember in the mid 90s a pole of National League pitchers was done as to who they feared to pitch to the most and the answer was overwhelmingly Barry Bonds. This was long before he hit 49 HR's or more in a season. Yes I think it is fair to say he has not been the most likeable person in the sport. He was very arrogant at times. I mean a man that wore a photo of himself on his wrist band? So it is believed that Barry Bonds used steriods and we should ban him from the Hall of Fame...should we really? I know this may be a stretch of the imagination but what if it came out as truth that Cal Ripkin Jr used steriods? I mean this guy played all those games in a row without a day off? Yes I am using my imagination a bit I know. I say Barry bond is one of the best ever...What do you say?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't know why ESPN shows so much Little League World Series (LLWS). I think it's boring to watch a ton of games being played by 11 year olds. If I wanted to go watch kids play baseball, I would just go to any park on the weekend and watch a little league game. I realize that these are all-star teams or in some cases, the country's best little leaguers, but at the end of the day, they are still just kids. I'm not trying to knock the kids because I'm sure they're really talented, but so are the women in the WNBA, but that doesn't mean it's fun to watch.

I don't understand why they don't just show an MLB day game instead. Especially considering that the MLB season is beginning to heat up around this time of year with a lot of close divisional races. I'm just curious, do you watch the LLWS on ESPN? If so, why do you watch it? Do you prefer ESPN show these games instead of other sports being played by adults?

Who else agrees that Ichiro is a surefire Hall-Of-Famer, and he should be in heavy contention for the AL MVP this season. So far this season he has 185 hits! That's right a major league leading 185 hits! There is more than 1 month left in the regular season, and he almost surely will have 200 hits this season. He has a MIND-BLOWING average of .352. He's played in all of the Mariners' games this year, and he has 36 stolen bases this year. He has only been caught stealing twice. He only has a 10.11% chance of striking out every time he comes to bat. He also has an OBP of .379! I think he is a legitimate candidate for AL MVP and he is a First-Ballot Hall-Of-Famer. What are your thoughts?

when they say Yankees ONLY buy players and can't build their own talent?

Over half of their active roster is made up of players that have NEVER played for another MLB team including six of the nine in their everyday line-up. (this is a fact)

The stories of a weak farm system are in the past. Every season for the past three years Yanks have brought up players that have shown signs of greatness.

Bash us with some intelligent facts. Making things up to try and prove your point just shows that you don't really follow baseball as closely as you would like us to believe.

As for me I cant wait. It looks fantastic, and lets face it, Yankee Stadium may be the most historic stadium in baseball but its old. It doesnt have some of the amenities that other ballparks have.

In my opinion, the cycle is one of the hardest things to accomplish in MLB. I wonder how many times it has actually been accomplished by one player and if anyone of those players has accomplished this feat more than once.

To beat up The Tigers again? I've been dogging you guys for weeks now, and just thought I'd give you a chance to give it back! Go ahead, and let me have it. I'm a man, I can deal with it.

I do think The Tigers can take 2 of 4 though.
