seriously...Scoscia has to stop this nonsense with Robinson calling him out. It's just dumb to defend your own player who was caught CHEATING!!!!!1111oneone


just suck it up, let Donnelly serve his suspension and get on with the rest of the season...this really shouldn't be made this big of a deal

Soscia is just acting like a litle kid. He was in the wrong and now he's resorted to name-calling and shouting matches.

Its quite funny actually. Robinson is a hard man. He's been around in baseball for so long. He was coaching the Giants at the same age Scioscia is now. I just find it funny that Soscia tried, and failed, to outwit a distinguished, soon to be Hall of Famer, and a man who knows the game of Baseball like his own hand.

Robinson was quoted as saying:

"There's nothing [Scioscia] can say to me now. Nothing. I don't even want him to approach me. I don't want him to try to apologize to me. If he even thought about it, I will not accept it."

it's a shame that a minor offense like this has to be taken on such a higher plane now.

How can anyone not respect Robinson..he was the first player to win Mvp in both al and nl and actually played during a time of racial turmoil(unlike barry "you all are racist" bonds.i had read Cal Ripken saying if he hadn't had Robinson as his manager when he came up with the orioles that he wouldn't be half the person or player that he ended up being

White sox

I declare that the white sox dont even make it past the first round of the play offs... Even though they are kickin ass now, they will fall apart later

I second that, but the wrong reasons. I think their inexperience in playoffs as a team will definitely hurt them.

And I am still picking the Indians to win that division, watch my word. I said it before the season ewven started, and I am still saying it now.

i concur.
their hitting is mediocre. their pitching is good with garland and hernandez. however, garland has been slipping a little lately, and hernandez has a very high ERA for someone with a winning record.

at least you have us making the playoffs. the hitting has gotten a lot better lately with rowand, dye and konerko getting hot and thomas coming back helps. we need to get rid of crede, that guy just sucks at the plate.

Insanity in the Bronx! 13 run eigth inning...homers galore! Matsui again! Craziness. I know it's just the lowly Rays but it was still an incredible display of offensive power.

I like what I"m starting to see in these Yankees. They've been showing some fight lately. Although the pitching is nowhere near as consistent as everyone wants it to be, it looks like the Bombers are a team to be reckoned with still.

It'll be an interesting summer.

WOW ... I cant believe the Yankees hammered the TB like that. When I was at work, a fellow employee of mine, an avid Yankee fan, was angry that his team was losing to the Rays again by 8 runs. I came home now, looked at the score, checked the recaps on MLB.com, and all I can say is ... WOW.

Great statistics: Rays, for the second time already, are the only team in MLB history to lead a game by 8 runs only to lose by 9. They also had the same feat in 1999 vs. Cleveland Indians. Hehe

whoo hoo! ..
the yanks score 20 runs ..
aughh snap. .. it was to the devil rays .. oh well .. at least the yankees still have their pride, or what's left of it ..

the al east looks very confusing right now ..shouldn't toronto and baltimore be simmering down right now, and let the yankees be their b!tches ??? ...

and how about manny ramirez's gaurantee that the sox will win the world series a couple of days ago .. not going to happen, because the sox will be the yankees b!tches again ..

yankees will continue to own the sox .

robinson was awesome back in the day.

I've never seen anything like this before. 4 of Braves' 5 starting pitchers are now on disabled list. WOW. Ramirez left the game early yesterday so now he joins Hampton, Hudson with injuries ... Smoltz is the only remaining pitcher from the beginning of the year who was part of the original rotation. And yet Braves win yet again yesterday. Five of last 6 games are W's.

while those pesky devil rays get blown out a couple of weeks ago by the pittsburgh pirates 18-2 .. .. then ol' lou pinella says his team sucks, management doesn't know how to recruit, and life sucks .. ..

oh the beauty of baseball ...

the perfectly good explanation why bobby cox should be considered one of the greatest managers in baseball ever .. he takes lemons, and turns them to lemonades instantly .. ..

although he only has 1 world series title .. ... he has to be accounted for all those nl east pennants he's been winning continuously . ...

Hehe, talking about the curse, hehe ... dont forget Bobby and the current Braves general manager were on the Kansas City Royals team that did pretty well in the 1980s, winning a world series title I think. And losing to the Yankees the other time they went that far, I am sure.

Thats why this season I think all other NL East teams are pretty dam sick and tired of being bridesmaid and will do very well. But still, the beautiful thing is, either way Braves win or dont win the division title this year, the talk is going to be all about them in the end. LOL ... if you know what I mean.

They've got to make the playoffs first. The Phillies are coming on strong and the Nationals still aren't falling back.

I am Loving it today...phillies lost 2 straight,Mets are killing the Yankees..all i need are the nationals to lose so some ground can be gained.Before all the nationals fans come out and say anything...if you have been watching the jams they have been getting out of lately..it is only a matter of time before it starts catching up with them...they need one more bat in the line up and a solid middle reliever and to pray cordero doesn't get hurt again like last year.As for the Mets i keep hearing the rumours of them scouting Barry Zito..i don't know if that is a great deal for them unless they can unload Kaz Matsui in turn for prospects before hand.So i am wondering will the yankees start selling off some of the busted parts after the season and maybe go about the way they built that great team they fielded in the late 90's which were prospects and hard nosed veterans(i.e. Paul o'neil)

did my all star voting...outfield for NL was tough.. and deciding between Pujols and Derek lee for 1st base.
AL

First Base: M. Teixeira, TEX
Second Base: B. Roberts, BAL
Third Base: H. Blalock, TEX
Shortstop: M. Tejada, BAL
Catcher: J. Varitek, BOS
Outfielder: T. Hunter, MIN
Outfielder: M. Ramirez, BOS
Outfielder: G. Sheffield, NYY
DH: D. Ortiz, BOS

NL:
First Base: D. Lee, CHC
Second Base: M. Giles, ATL
Third Base: A. Ramirez, CHC
Shortstop: K. Greene, SD
Catcher: P. Lo Duca, FLA
Outfielder: B. Giles, SD
Outfielder: J. Guillen, WSH
Outfielder: C. Lee, MIL

just my opinion here .. great picks though ....

AL

First Base: M. Teixeira, TEX
(as much as like him, shea hillenbrand of toronto deserves it more .. 47 runs .304 ba, .362 obp .. pretty good from his afterlife after his boston days backing up nomar .. i can't believe i am choosing him over teixeira and konerko )
Second Base: B. Roberts, BAL
Third Base: H. Blalock, TEX
( i like him also, but i feel a-rod is doing an awesome job right now with the yanks ... )
Shortstop: M. Tejada, BAL
Catcher: J. Varitek, BOS
Outfielder: T. Hunter, MIN
(up and down this season .. johnny damon here )
Outfielder: M. Ramirez, BOS
(no. .. i do think the white sox is overrated, but since they have the "best" record in the ml, posednik goes here .. he's got speed! )
Outfielder: G. Sheffield, NYY
(he's having an off season this year .. he's been up and down .. has his good days and bad days .. ichiro ?? he's been hitting well ... batting average is down a little bit, but he's still top 10 in hits, 7 triples, 18 steals, and a bunch of throw outs .. )
DH: D. Ortiz, BOS (between him and delucci from texas in my opinion .. delucci had a good opening, but has been sliding as of late )

NL:
First Base: D. Lee, CHC (him over pujols right now definately)
Second Base: M. Giles, ATL
(bill hall is doing a remarkable job here .. him and mackowiak at pittsburgh are doing well )
Third Base: A. Ramirez, CHC
( no way .. have you seen mike ensberg from houston ??? he's been blowing it up as of late with houston .. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/stats...playerID=348563 )
Shortstop: K. Greene, SD
( close one between him and ol' man vizquel in san francisco .. he's doing a solid job there .. )
Catcher: P. Lo Duca, FLA
(close between him and ramon hernandez .. he's also having a solid year)
Outfielder: B. Giles, SD
(andrew jones .. leading the league in home runs .. should be rewarded for that ..)
Outfielder: J. Guillen, WSH
(you forgot miguel cabrera, whose name has been called as a candidate for mvp .. )
Outfielder: C. Lee, MIL


.. 2 milwaukee brewers from me !!! .. they have some good talent this year .. was thinking about brady clark ..



long post from me ..

nl outfielders in my opinion sucked and i was stuck between tori hunter and scott podsednik...gotta love his steals.My hatred of Pay rod made me choose Blalock.i thought Morgan Ensberg was too inconsistent and my hatred of Andruw Jones also steered me away from picking him.I think playing fantasy baseball kind of guided me on some of the picks

ditto! ..
how do you think i know about morgan ensberg .. ..
i know about him, because he is top 50 in the yahoo baseball league point system right now .. compared to last year when he was in the lower 300s ..

fantasy baseball does alot for your baseball knowledge . hahahaha ..
