yes i did it was a good game. Wilson Betimit(sp) and Scott thurman(sp) made to great plays and that sucks that Smoltz and another pitcher from the braves(forgot his name) were injured but Villareal pitched very well and there bullpen only gave up 1 run which is awesome. Hopefully the bullpen can keep that up. Go Braves!!! \n\nThat was pretty funny when A. Jones took a tumble going for the catch, good thing Edgar was there to make the catch.

I agree with you.  Regardless of whether he used it or not and regardless of whether Mark Maguire and/or Sammy Sosa used it, they did it, maybe to make their game better -- but they ended up making THE game better.\n\nThe strike tarnished the game in 1994 and since the HR derby between Mark and Sammy, the league has been back.\n\nWatching Bonds is electrifying and that's all that should matter.

Yes. The way baseball is now teams that can spend a lot of money, and do it wisely, stand a much better chance of being competitive. I expect that both teams will be in the playoffs this year and I'd give it a 1 in 4 chance that there will be one this year.

Hell yes!!!!  Not only overpaid but COMPLETELY OVERRATED!!!!! He is not the best 3rd baseman in MLB, but cuz Steinbrenner has more money than GOD he gets the most publicity!!!  Maybe this year the gold glove award for 3rd base will actually go to a GREAT DEFENSIVE player (CREDE WHITE SOX) and not the "more popular" one.  Oh gee - I thought that was the whole idea of the award!!!

I joined a fantasy baseball head-to-head league on Yahoo this spring.  I am already addicted.  I really like the fact that as the manager you can make changes on a daily basis.  I had to get the stattracker so that I can keep up to date on what my team has done through the day or evening and not have to wait until the next day for the matchup scores.  I have two first basemen and two CF/LF....I really like being able to change the line-up based on current statistics, hot streaks and cold spells. \n\nI guess it does seem like there are a lot of games, but I think the fact that I have to keep track of so many things may make me a better fan and way better @ baseball trivia.  I HAVE TO look @ my team every day.  :)

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

Imagine what the managers think about that, now that the All-Star Game actually means home-field advantage in the World Series! THAT'S the ridiculous part, in my opinion. Having to play those "former greats" rather than the more talented but not-as-popular players that didn't make the fans' cut . . . that's gotta be frustrating when the game is on the line. I just hope that we don't start seeing any sacrifice bunts in the All-Star game, just so one team can win. The All-Star game should be a fun game.\n\nThen again . . . seeing Barry Bonds bunt would be fun.

If our pitching stays the course, yes.\n\nThe Tigers have the LOWEST era in MLB.\n\nI can't wait to visit "The Cell" and return the favor (sweeping them at home).\n\nIt is going to be an interesting year.\n\nHistory has shown the WS champs hardly repeat, so to all you white sox fans that "claim" you can repeat, I say "Good Riddance!"\n\nWe'll talk more in September.

Personally, I think it should be the team with the best record. I don't like the old system of switching leagues like they used to do. Basing on the All Star is silly. The All Star is supposed to be a game for fun and the fans, don't tie it into the "World" Series.

They should be a little more interesting to watch...Alex Gordon > 2005 college player of the year >2006 Minor League player of the year >2007 we'll see, but Gordon has a chance to be a star..\n\nBilly Butler is only 20, and, he can flat out hit, will he make the big club?\n\nIt would be nice to see Mike Sweeney actually play a full season, it is a contract year for Sweeney so he's going to have a little more incentive than usual to put up numbers...\n\nMark Teahen is one of the best young 3B in all of baseball, \n\nDavid Dejesus plays gold glove caliber defense,no that's not right actually he played better defense last year than any of the three(OF) gold glove winners in the AL.  I look for his offensive numbers to get slightly better next year...\n\nEstaban German is playing winter ball in hopes of improving his defense to the point he would no longer be a liability in the field...\n\nThe Royals need to do something about Catcher and Shortstop...John Buck and Angel Berroa have got to go...\n\nMark Grudzielanek will be solid again at second...\n\nEmil Brown improved his defense to the point last year that he's now a solid ML outfielder....\n\nAlmost no matter what the Royals do with their pitching staff next year it could not be any worse than 2006...I don't look for any huge improvement, but, I do look for the pitching to be a little better...\n\nI don't look for Luke Hochaver to start the season in KC but maybe by the All Star break they will give him a shot...\n\nJimmy Gobble has good stuff he just need to learn to keep the ball in the park...\n\nHudson - Hernandez - Redman, should at least burn up some innings\n\nThe bullpen should be improved.\n\nThe Royals are not going to go .500 next year, but they should win a few more games..Hopefully the young guys will make a big splash...

No way.  All the other sports let so many teams in, it kind of cheapens the regular season.  In baseball, the regular season actually means something.  I think the wild card is enough.

News: Albert Pujols took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran hard in the outfield Tuesday. The Cardinals' star is getting closer to returning as he recovers from a strained oblique muscle suffered June 3. Pujols might be able to come off the DL in time for the Cardinals' weekend interleague series in Detroit. "He's stepping up the program. Everything so far, he's feeling good," manager Tony La Russa said, adding Pujols was not in any pain. "He'll keep stepping it up until he's game-ready. But there is a conditioning factor now, too. It's not just getting his legs in shape and his arm in shape, there is a lot to get ready."\n\nAnalysis: Keep Pujols reserved until the weekend at least, but he could return to lineups thereafter. That's great news for his owners at this point, but there's still a few rivers for his oblique to cross.\n\nDon't you love it when jack-holes like the 2 idiots above post stupid answers?

OF/1B Xavier Nady, 1B Carlos Delgado, CP Billy Wagner, RP Jorge Julio, RP John Maine, and C Paul Lo Duca are the most notable new additions.\n\nHope they come in handy, I'm tired of the Braves winning the NL East!!!

Sure...it's a small NASCAR fix, but at least it's a FIX! One week from the last race and I'm already Jonesin'!\n\nAnother long, cold, NASCARless winter...it sucks.\n\nWhat really made the year better was the fantasy racing. We used to do a deal called "Kafenatid". The guy that ran the site hung it up, but we made our own, with an Excel prog and "kafenatid's" rules (1 Ford, 1 Chevy, 1 Dodge and 3 Wildcards). You accumulate the points that the drivers earn. I kicked-ass again! ; ) All done by email and the deadline for picks is noon on race day. Not sure what to do about Toyota entering the arena...hate to validate them with their own slot.\n\nGITIT!\nrounder
