Beckett was always the best.

Are they pitching to Barry at all?

Now Go Giants and Go Astros!!!!

I am always excited at the beginning of off-season. The possibilities are endless. Plus Soxfest is always a blast, and should be again this year.

Now hopefully they can finish off the choke.

Yeah we couldn't send Neal because of the restraining order

Be sure to get your nominations to Tex ASAP, we are about to put up the ballots.

Boy I wish we could have seen many more of these celebrations during July and August.

If Ross hasn't become an OK OFer by now, I doubt it will happen. I know people point to Carlos, but Lee was way younger when he made the conversion. Plus Gload has played more OF in his career than Lee ever did before making the switch.

Damion Miller would be a solid guy to have split time behind the plate. As for Clement, I think something is seriously wrong with him. All of the sudden he has Esteban Loiaza syndrome with the disappearing arm speed. I think his heavy slider could be an asset on the southside, but he has to be healthy without a doubt. Right now he is out of the rotation for Glendon Rusch, and might not even be on the playoff roster. That scares me.

Well stay safe again.

Aaron Rowand is not a number two hitter. He can't bunt, and doesn't have an inside out swing to move over runners. I would much rather see him hit leadoff if we don't find a lead off hitter. If we do he would be great to anchor the bottom of the line up.

It depends on the guy. I get excited about hitters long before I get excited about pitchers. Pitchers seem to flame out a lot more often.

And pick your words carefully because I am only 2 1/2 months behind her.

Poopy

It comes down to what is your philosophy on winning. Let it flow, or make it happen. I would much rather see a guy sieze the bull by the horns and try to win.

Not a chance. Valdez is too punch and judy to out produce Crede for a full season.

To a lot of people it is that simple...

And that play shows exactly why ARow is not a #2 hitter. He is a terrible bunter, and doesn't handle the bat that well. I would be hitting Aaron #1 and Willie #2 or #9.

Wow that might have been the most shallow start to a thread I have ever seen. Count on being dumped soon.

National Geographic did an incredible column on slavery all over the world today, including the US, it is eye openning stuff.

Not a chance. This is going to be ultra-close again, mark my words.

Happy Birthday Steffy

Carlos has 92 RBI, he still has an outside shot at 300 BA 30 HR 100 RBI

Well if you want to split hairs, they come from the Japanese Major league, and not the minor Jap league, then they should not be considered rookies.
