AROD with another amateur moment. Posada pops one up on the infield with 2 outs, AROD running to third yells, "I Got It." Clark, the Jays 3B, thought it was his team mate and let the ball fall and a run scored. MacDonald started jawing with ARod.

 

May see some more photoshop goodness as ARod was standing at third, waving his finger like a woman at MacDonald.

He did not say "i got it" for the record. He said something close to "hah"

On the Jays board they said it was "mine."

The guy went the extra mile to try to help his team get a much needed win.

 

THAT BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just remember, Alex Rodriguez is a selfish bastard who always puts himself ahead of the team there's a reason why he's never won anything. He does s*** like this for personal gain.

Jason Giambi is out for 3 weeks with torn tissue in his left foot. This includes, obviously, his series against us.

 

Yadier Molina to the DL for a month with a broken wrist.

 

Jamie Walker named his son Jim Leyland. Walker, of course, is now in Baltimore.

I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd be proud if Juan Uribe did it. If Darin Erstad did it, we'd never stop hearing about what a heady ballplayer he is. But since it's A-Rod, a player with infinite talent and the money that goes with that talent, he'll be raked over the coals for being "Bush League."

What about when he deeked Derrek Lee into believing the ball was foul saving a run?

That was outstanding, and those fools Dusty and D Lee have the nerve to call it bush league.

Prince Fielder has taken over the role from Bonds and Pujols as the most exciting player to watch bat.

I always consider how fast an all you can eat buffet would go out of business if he and his dad made a visit 3 times a week.

 

Regardless, there's no argument from me with your assessment.

I realize he's having a crummy year, but there is absolutely no person I enjoy watching hit more than Manny Ramirez. The guy is freaking text-book. He drives the s*** out of the inside pitch and will wait on the outside pitch and spray it to right/right center.

I always thought Manny was one of the few batters that would set a pitcher up to throw a pitch somewhere he wants it. Like look badly on an inside pitch so he could get another crack at it or something. Hard to disagree.

 

Prince needs to be consistent over a few years for me to consider him one of the funner batters to watch.

Cubs fans are absolutely ridiculous. Throwing trash on the field is about the stupidest thing you can do as an audience, and it makes you look like idiots. Way to live up to the stereotype Cubs fans.

The AL and NL RBI leaders are Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Lee with 50 apiece. It'd be nice to have that kind of production again.

When did the White Sox sign Mike Mussina?

A-Rod is definitely changed -- for better or for worse, I don't know -- this year. He just hit an opposite field shot in the ninth to put the Yanks ahead of the BoSox (that's not the wierd part, no 'not-clutch' joke here) and, after tagging home plate, he put his hand over the little camera that ESPN Sunday Night baseball has that follows guys down the third base line on their home-run trot. If I saw correctly, he also shot a little smile, too.

 

Gosh I hope he opts out and the Sox get him.

Lots of scouts seem to think he wants to go play SS for the Cubs next year.

A choker like him would be a perfect fit.

He could have been clutch and the Yankees still wouldn't have made it to the World Series in any of his years with New York.

 

That choker/non-clutch s*** with ARod is really disturbing. I don't give a s***, the dude can choke all he wants to, he's still a .280 30 100 .900 player in his worst years, and then when he has good years, he's a .320 50 130 player.

Good article looking back at the 2002 draft. I found it interesting

Its amazing that half of the draft is busts. That is not a very good percentage, and it does make the Sox look a little better.

I'm reasonably sure the Sox have produced more major leaguers out of that draft than any other team.

 

Ring, Reed, McCarthy, Logan, Tracey, and Marsall have all made the bigs. Obviously, that's a lot of marginal talent, but the Sox are first in something! Quanity over quality baby!

 

Also 49th rounder, Fernando Hernandez, having a great year in AA, will need to be protected next year and still has a shot as a reliever.

Indeed.

 

This article shows why you shouldn't put all your eggs in draft position and how difficult it is to develop effective major league players from college and high school kids. Even the Twins' first effective pick wasn't until the sixth round.

Jesse Crain was selected in the 2nd round of that draft

Ah, read too fast. I wonder why the A's weren't listed as one of the top drafting teams in that draft.

Prince hits #20
