Funny.

Only way we acquire Tex or Hank for Crede is if we throw in Mark B.

I remember when my Dad called me to tell me about that trade. He said to me, you're not gonna like this and I remember saying why? He said, they traded your boy and I remember thinking Buehrle first. Then when he told me Foulke, I was nearly as pissed as I would have been had they traded Buehrle. I knew the move was bad when it happened and I was exactly right.

The worst call was briging in Everyday Eddie, he got rocked by Pujols. There goes homefield for the AL.

Someone must have, there were plenty of em launched out of there, especially by one Albert Pujols.

The way I like to figure whether a player is taking a supplement is based on how his speed on the basepaths has decreased over time most likely due to a decrease in flexibility due to steroids. With Sosa and Bonds, this has been quite evident. However, it's been more so with Sosa than with Bonds, who still steals bases while Sammy never does. Then again, there are some players who never steal just because they're very slow but looking back at early times in Sammy's career it's quite evident that he isn't running like he used to while Bonds still steals bases. That's not to say that Bonds isn't juicing though.

Creatine is legal, steroids are not. That's the main difference besides one builds muscle a lot faster than the other. I see no problem with players using creatine as long as it's legal to the public, but not steroids which are illegal.

Although most would tend to disagree, I'd prefer to keep KW over Manuel.

I think he'll play as well, especially if the AL kills the NL like I'm expecting.

We'll see how the numbers stack up at year's end. MB will be the ace and I already consider him the ace right now.

I wouldn't doubt that comment. The only other guys I'd put up there with him are Soriano, A Rod and Bonds.

I like you more and more everyday Jas.

Yes, Garret Anderson won.

Correction, Mark Buehrle is the ace of our staff.

Thanks for the report Jas, very well done.

From Yahoo: Minnesota Twins third baseman Corey Koskie, who left Friday’s loss to Anaheim with a back strain, may hit the DL following the All-Star break. Koskie originally hoped to return Thursday following the break, but Sunday he told manager Ron Gardenhire this injury was different than back pain he’d experienced in the past. The Twins had planned to activate outfielder Jacque Jones on Sunday, but now will wait through the break to see if Koskie’s injury necessitates a trip to the DL.

You heard it here first. Congrats to E-Lo.

Not everybody can be smart. Some you just have to let learn on their own or grow up ignorant. LOL Kinda like you had to do with me Rex with some of my posts.

Speaking of Borchard, he hit a HR today.

good and i am all for it. i don't want him to fail, we need him. but in ref to his hitting, that is what i am looking at. can he develop any more, when does one not become a prospect but a failed draft pick. I suppose when a team gives up on him or he gets into his late 20's. Borchard is 25 I believe, so I give him at least another year before I start to really question how he's going to turn out.

I like neither.

I disagree for a few reasons and here they are. 1) He's a hardworker and is willing to learn. I've met him a few times and I've actually talked to him for a few minutes each time. This guy is very intelligent and wants to learn. He is not afraid of criticism and will work hard to get better, no matter what it takes. 2) He's had some nagging injuries. I don't think he's been 100% this year. Although that's not an excuse, I think he can be a lot more productive than he's shown. He may not be the superstar that the Sox originally thought, but he'll be a solid player. 3) Once he shortens his swing, he can become a great hitter. This is something he needs to work on constantly. When he does make contact, he's as much pop off the bat as anyone. If he just strives to be a line drive hitter, I think it will all come around for him Speaking as a biased fan of Borchard, I'm sticking to the optimistic side on this one.

I will go on record and say this right now. We will not win the division with Mike Porzio as our 5th starter for the second half of the season.

I believe Hoffman is coming back in September and has made it clear he wants to finish his career in San Diego. Therefore, we'd be hardpressed to get them to take Billy Koch in any trade that includes them giving up Phil Nevin.
