I know, this is freaking awesome. I'm not sure it's gonna last but he pitched brilliantly today. 8 k's? He got ahead of most guys today which was so different than what he was doing with your Marlins. He was pitching like yesteryear. We'll have to see how this goes, I thought he was gonna suck too.

Leiter needed a change of scenery,some people play up to putting the stripes on(cone) and others players self destruct(see weaver and vazquez).I like Leiter i hope he can keep it up.And Shamez i agree i think the nationals are remembering they are the team formerly known as the expos

that's my gut feeling

even if/when they make the playoffs, i'll just end up doubting them the rest of the season and every point of the playoffs. I just think that the lineup isn't good enough, that the pitching will eventually fall back to earth and hermason will implode as closer at some point

having said that...

i hope and would love the white sox prove me wrong at every stage...i'd love to see you guys win a World Series this year and especially before the cubbies

Well, they're like 12 games up at the moment, that'd be one of the biggest comebacks in the history of baseball. I'm not seeing it.

White Sox will win the division.

Well... I always felt the Expos were a vastly underrated ball club. And now I think they are a vastly overrated ball club.

As for Leiter... no change of scenery. The dude is done. Mark my words. That's the only good start he'll have for the Yankees.

i'd pay any price just to get that back.*

How are they overrated? Just because they're winning some close ball games now?

There's no real super-star players on the team(except for Hernandez and Cordero who were sent to the All-Star game). Their stats are average at best.

the nationals know how to keep it close, and then let cordero shut the door in the 9th .. it's plain simple. why do you think cordero has i think 32 saves right now ?? that's f'n amazing .. looks like he is going to break bobby thigpen or eric gagne's record for most saves in a year ?? .. cordero is going to have about 60, because the nationals are going to be in many more close games in the future.

anyways .. who caught that brawl between the royals and tigers .. two underachieving teams duking their losing records out .. .. but of course, kyle farnsworth has to be "the man", and does a complete body slam on a royals guy .. he got owned ..

not as much owned compared to paul wilson, who was left to a bloddy mess when farnsworth laid him out two years ago ( ?? ) .. they showed that scene again on sportscenter.

yeah i saw the highlight on SportsCenter of that brawl. Pretty funny to see him bodyslam him to the ground..

of course, if I was hit in the head with a 80mph fastball, i'd probably get mad too.

All I know is that Kyle Farnsworth is the last guy in the entire league that I'd want to pick a fight with. First, he's a huge guy with a definite nasty streak. Second, dude's gonna remember and throw a 100 mph fastall between your ears. No thanks!

Great body slam though, he's gonna get suspended for sure but it'll take awhile with his appeals, etc.

if I was the pitching coach, i'd probably get mad that my pitcher is only throwing 80 MPH with his fastball
