MLB 2008 Season

[KCK_Halo]

I think it's a great story. Last year we had Ankiel as the feel-good story of the year...until we found out he used illegal substances in rehab. So, in many ways we are following this feel-good story in hopes that it will not end in a disappointment as others we have followed.

I truly wish him all the best because he surely has been thru hell.

Josh Hamilton or Lance Berkman:

Who's swinging the hotter bat?

 

[HD MM]

Anybody else following the Josh Hamilton story in Texas? Former #1 pick, falls into heroin addiction, out of baseball for 3 years, was labeled a "can't miss" prospect. Now he's tearing up the American League, and maybe a triple crown candidate.

Drugee from Cincinnati? Hmmm, that sounds familiar......

Just kidding. I'm glad to hear he is turning his life around. Good for him.

Phillies are the most lethal lineup in baseball, IMO.

Another double-digit run total...

I hope that stadium hosts an All-Star Game in the future.

It's deserving.

I went on a baseball bus tour last year and made my first trips to Boston, Cooperstown, New York (Yankees), Philly, D.C. and Baltimore. I've also been to Atlanta, Cleveland and Wrigley, and Philly's stadium is far and away the nicest I've ever been to.

MARLINS no longer in 1st place....!

 

[Ramy]

They will be back in first place after the Reds sweep the Phillies.

Bad news for the Red Sox: David Ortiz out AT LEAST a month with a torn tendon in his left wrist.

I would like to know how many games my Reds will be in HD this year. Where can I find this info?

Look on the Reds MLB website.

GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was posted in the beginning of the season, but I don't remember how many it was, but the HD schedule is on the website.

I WISH.....but the REDS came up short AND a wild pitch did the Marlins in.

I know. Griffey should have played.

 

[SabresRule]

Milestone achieved...

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Got to wonder what his numbers would have been if he had been healthy. First ballot HOF in my book.

Padres, Mariners, Giants, or Mets:

Which team will be the first to fire their manager?

 

[BillD1984]

My money is on Seattle.

I will go that Padres, Mariners and Giants manager will last longer because lets be honest, nothing was expected of them...except maybe the Padres....but the Mets were SUPPOSED to be the BEST in the National League.

What a pathetic way for the Cubs to end their home winning streak...

losing to the godawful, horrific, terrible, Orioles.

The Cubs sweep and humiliate a decent White Sox team, and they get beaten by the pathetic Orioles.

At least three people in Baltimore will celebrate this...

They have THAT many NON-Corporate fans??!!

Following their win tonight, my Red Sox have reached their official halfway (81 games) point. They sit at 49-32, which of course projects to 98-64. I should be excited, right? Well, I can't put my finger on it, but somethings missing. I remember feeling the same way at different points last year......and they proceeded to win the World Series. This year just feels different to me. I hope I'm wrong, we shall see.
