I think you know more baseball than I do but I also think you've never been more wrong here. You can't tell me anybody in baseball was better than Pedro in '99. Similarly, I also don't think you can tell me Beltre is the best baseball player in the country right now.


The pitcher thing is just an opinion. I keep them separate. Especially starters who can at best affect 35 games.

Im exaggerating a little on Beltre maybe but he is a top 10 player all around. Its crazy how bad he was in Seattle.

Hussra, Gonzalez was ok. How bout the Red Sox just plugging in a different all star at third every year. Lowell, Beltre, Youkalis



Its time to get mentally prepared for the onslaught of bad "Ron Washington is gonna do so much blow tonight" jokes.



BTW, if he's not on Cocaine during the games when he's doing all those dances and nervous ticks he must be bouncing off the fucking walls when he was.

I know a few former coke-heads that abuse the shit out of the most wired energy drinks you can find. I wouldn't be surprised if that was true here.

He was 6th. I knew I should have looked that up before I posted it.

Hussra with Gonzalez Ortiz Youkalis and Beltre only three spots. One had to go.

Probably nothing. He's dead.

Youkilis has been a defensive liability at 3B last few seasons he's played there (2009/20011).

Red Sox sign Aramis, move Youk back to 1B, Gonzalez to DH and let Ortiz walk?

Wouldn't Gonz be a better 1B? Thought his defense was top notch.

Yeah he may have made the wrong choice but I could see not wanting to give Beltre a contract. Last time someone did that he took 2 years of vacation immediately.


Gonz is a better first baseman but third is weakened more than first was improved

So when the game ends is the first thing Joe Buck says going to be begging Pujols to come back to St Louis?

Exactly. I think Youk might hit better when playing 1B than 3B.

Gonz also 3 years younger than Beltre.

Texas looks to be along for the long haul. With the young players, WS title, and $6B TV contract revenue, I think they'll compete with Boston and NY in the next decade

I'm seeing a mess of Red Sox plans. If they signed Aramis, who's no defensive gem these days, Gonzalez would not go to DH. If Ortiz goes, it would be RPB's alignment.

Was that Pujols last AB as a Cardinal? Looked kinda like it. Like when LeBron walked off the court after getting bounced by, ah, whatever team knocked the Cavs out of the playoffs LeBron's last season there. And James immediately ripped off his jersey and then sprinted into the Cavs locker room so he could take a huge dump in delonte west's locker.

Mke Adams not available for the Rangers? He's their usual 8th inning guy.

I love playoff baseball. I love NFL Football, but I'm pretty sure Baseball is still number one for me.

If the Cards lose this, I can take solace in the fact that I won't have to watch Matt Holliday play for 5 months.

I thought the fans in St. Louis were the best in baseball? Why does it sound like 1/3 or more of the fans at the game are Texas fans?

Because you should always trust your TV speakers.
