Crazy offense on Tuesday night, eh (recap | boxscore)? Eighteen runs at Petco Park — it’s like I’ve been saying all along, they need to move the fences in to stimulate more scoring. Did I mention that the Padres own the National League’s best record? First off, props to the Orioles for not quitting at [...]

Four in Atlanta, Unsolicited Roster Suggestions
Went to Vegas over the weekend. Thought about betting on some baseball games, but the return on investment is terrible. Hard to justify laying down an upper-deck ticket for a 60% chance of winning a bag of peanuts. Mutual funds would be better, but I couldn’t find any at the sports book. Meanwhile, down in [...]

I’m still on hiatus, but the All-Star teams have been announced and I just had to say something. First I’ll give you my picks, then I’ll kibbitz about the actual picks, then I’ll go back into [...]
Internet Baseball Awards
A quick look at my IBA choices: AL ROY Ichiro Suzuki C.C. Sabathia Alfonso Soriano Suzuki and Sabathia were easy. After that it was kind of dicey, with Soriano just nosing out Anaheim’s David Eckstein and Minnesota’s Luis Rivas for that last spot. Danys Baez also had a solid, if quiet, rookie campaign.
