Long time, no post, I apologize. I doubt I will be making as frequent posts during this season as I did last year. but anyways, april is over and done with and we're charging on with may.

i've been keeping up with the nationals of course, finally got a new owner today and the groundbreaking for the new stadium is tomorrow. i agree with you magnetonium about the reds. The Red sox don't know what they've lost with Arroyo. he's damn good.

Is anyone going to be going to the Red Sox v. Nationals series in June at Fenway? I've got tickets to the 19th and 20th games.

Pujols becomes the fastest ever to 15 HR's
Anyone think he'll break Bonds' single-season record?

Papelbon gives up his first run of the season, and gets his first loss

Astros offer $18 M to Clemens

Damn... I knew that too!

Well... I follow the Mets minor leagues very closely. I'll be sure to check out how your brother's doing once Rookie ball starts up.

EDIT: That sounded like I thought he was in the Mets system. What I meant was that I follow the Mets minors closely, so when I am checking their stuff, I'll be sure to shoot over to the Twins Minor pages and check in on him.

As for the Reds... I think they're the Nationals of this year. The pitching is just... bad. Obviously, there's no way Arroyo keeps that up. And the rest of that staff is horrendous. They can score some runs though...

Kudos to the Tigers, Rockies, and Reds for their current success.
Looks like the Marlins once again are in that small funk again, because they don't want to open their wallets and keep their players (losing burnett, beckett, and delgado really does hurt) .

as for the Rockies, heck i can hit .300 at Coors Field, and i suck at baseball. i usually strikeout at average 2 times a game in a regular baseball game.

What do you think I'll be doing...?

Good luck to him! I actually only knew of him because there was a small feature in the Sporting News about him a few issues ago.

nice comparison. i like how the guys on baseball tonight keep saying stuff like, "just wait until they get griffey back in the lineup." seriously have they not kept tabs on his career in cincy? i really like griffey but injuries have killed him and made him so undependable its not even funny.

yeah LMAO apperently they love steve finley as well "TRAITOR!!!"

well the Marlins hope of getting a stadium in Hialeah failed I guess as the governer and others voted against putting 60 million for the new stadium
Marlins attendance still sucking as well, a couple of games in the past week only one thousand fans, place was packed though for a dontrelle game when 6 thousand showed up

The Baseball Tonight guys are morons. Case in point... this EXACT situation last year. They were all sucking the Nationals and sauing how they're so great and that they "could definitely win this division." It's pretty easy to say that when they were 35 and 15... then what happened? Really... those guys are morons.

I believe youre getting whooped in fantasy baseball... but Im not keeping track... or am I...

anyone else think that the braves closer is just plain bad? he looked awful again tonight against the mets. I think Bobby Cox needs to make an adjustment.

why dont they just have peter gammons talk for 30 minutes. the last thing i need to see is harold reynolds stating the obvious like "albert pujols is a great hitter." or watch them dissect barry bonds' swing this year vs. three years ago.

The Braves' best closer is also their best starter. That bullpen is horrendous.

Well the Mets pitching depth or lack of will be sorely tested now. Jose Lima has been called up(verndogs fave player). ITS LIMA TIME....BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heilman will be moved to starting rotation soon i think.

My roomate is obsessed w/ the Mets, and I must say I've jumped on their bandwagon too.

I live in between Philly and NYC now, and out of the three teams I think I'd rather be a Met fan than a Yankee or Philly. I like the Phillies I just cannot stand going to that ballpark. The fans blow, who the hell booes your team like that??

There was never a team near me in VA so I this is the first team I've really cheered for.

i used to love that guy when he was on the royals. he gets so pissed whenever anyone hits a homer off of him, so needless to say there was a bunch of stomping and pouting every game.

rafael palmiero - roids

it's pretty strange how his name comes out of the mouths of many white sox fans, but however before eric gagne broke the record, bobby thigpen was the record holder for most saves in 1 season . radinksy doesn't hold any records for the sox.

Bobby Thigpen still holds the record for most saves in a season, 57. Eric Gagne had 84 saves without a blown save, but that was over two seasons. He never had more than 55 saves.
