yea i agree, but i dont think mcgwire was anything special. I love that ryan franklin and palmerio are denying that they took the roids still....
and i think the most over looked story this year, is Ken Griffey Jr. Hes actually having a real season this year. Im happy to see him playing well and not hurt again.
Cashman is a good GM, the problem is George is running the team right now, making all the moves to his liking and of course spending, spending, spending. In consequence, he's running them into the ground, like the Yankees of the 80's.
Not that I have any problem with this.

The O's are safe as far as I know. But have you been able to see any of the Nationals games? Something about them overlapping in their TV rights and your owner, Angelos fusing with the unwavering comcast who in the end won't show any nats games. We're hostage, I swear. I don't get how this works?
i have seen some nationals games on.... Im glad rogers got SHELLED tonight because he should still be suspended. And the O's should bench Palmerio for the rest of the year seeing as they cant win anything anyway.
Some of the past series have been on but thats because comcast has chosen to air a limited selection of the games. But hey did it blindly at the beginning of the year. I am trying to find the scheduel but basically any day is a guessing game whether it will be on. Just like the atlanta series, when it matters, comcast might not deliver.
Well what does everyone think the playoffs and awards will look like?
Me? I see it like this.
Al west: Angels. Even though oakland has been on a tear, I don't think they will be able to keep it up for another month.
Central: Over already, white sox.
East. Red sox. Yankees pitching is too horrid.
WC: oakland
white sox vs oakland: I can actually imagine oakland taking this in 5.
Red sox vs angels: Red sox. Too much talent.
Red sox vs oakland: Red sox, again, too much talent.
AL mvp: Manny
Al cy young: ehh, one of the chicago guys
AL roy: ??
NL:
West: Padres I guess.
Central: already over, cards
East: Might as well be over, braves
WC: this will be the best race in baseball. Florida is the most talented team on paper, the phillies and nats are playing better and houston has clemens, oswalt and pettite, and a weak offense. I still think florida will pull it out.
Cards vs. marlins: Gotta go with the cards, though with florida's pitching, an upset wouldn't surprise me.
Braves vs. padres: Padres lucky to last 4 games. Braves win.
Cards vs. braves: Very interesting match up. Atlanta has the edge starting pitching wise, and the cards have the edge offensively. This could turn into a battle of bullpens, and that has traditionally been the braves weakspot in the post season. Cards win
WS: Cards vs red sox. i think the teams switch roles this year. The cards pitching is much better than last years, and the red sox pitching isn't as good.
NL mvp: Forget derek lee. Unless he actually wins the triple crown, he shouldn't be mentioned because the cubs suck. That leaves us with albert pujols and andruw jones. Pujols has a HUGE lead in avg, but he's also had all star calibre bats around him all year. Even with rolen or walker out, he still had edmonds. Andruw literally was the braves offense for 2 months with chipper jones out, he was the only regular starter with more than 3 years exp. Andruw jones should be nl mvp.
NL cy young: even though guys like carpenter and smoltz have had outstanding years, it's basically been a 2 man race since day 1 between willis and clemens. Willis has fallen off pretty bad since july, and clemens keeps rolling. Clemens wins
NL roy: Jeff francoeur. In only a month or so of playing, is already second among rookies in hr, hitting over .400, and is a stellar defender, with 8 of assist already.
Yes, well you lucky. I just want to watch baseball its simple, just like the rest but comcast says no. Like the phillies game tonight, I don't think its on. Crapper.
IT is a huge series, and the Nationals are starting to turn around a little bit. Its a good thing its not at home because I think the mentality of that park being huge kills our offense.
Angels vs. White Sox: Sox in 5
Oakland vs. Red Sox: Sox in 4
Red Sox vs. White Sox: Red Sox in 6
The NL wildcard is totally out there, and but im just gonna put in the Phillies cause they are my favorite team.
Phillies vs. Cards: Cards win in 4
Brave vs. Padres Braves win in 5, yes thats right, i dont not see how the Brave do it every year, and i dont not think they are that good.
Braves vs. Cardianal: Cards kill, they win in 5.
Red Sox vs. Cardinals: I'm picking the Red Sox cause there also my favorite team, but that is defiantely going 7.
AL Cy Young: i dont know
AL MVP: Vlad
NL MVP: Puljos
NL CY Young: Clemens should get it. He doing fantastic, but unfortunatley he's on the Astros, and has lost like 6 1-0 games. His ERA is like 1.4 too. But Carpenter will get it, because he might have 22 win by the time the season ends. Smoltz? Yeah right.. he shouldnt be anywhere near them two.
