If this were to happen, I would love for it to be 24 consecutive infield singles to shortstop, half of them with jump-throws to first.

Greg Amsinger was on WIP earlier and said the Yankees are gonna lose 90+ this year, then Jeter, Rivera and Pettitte will all retire together and Cano will leave in FA. Hard to believe, Harry.

He also predicts the Padres will have a winning record

was just about to come on here and ask what phdave did. I thought their offense would falter BEFORE teixiera and granderson suffered serious injuries.

not to mention Rivera is 43 and coming off an ACL, Jeter is old and coming off a huge injury.gardner is coming off an injury. they got more than can be expected out of oldies such as ichiro and kuroda.

Where is the slugging gonna come from? youk? hafner?

Cano is the only sure thing.

they should finish behind the Jay jays and Ray rays.

Blue Jays coming up on their 10th consecutive year of being the AL East's sexiest team

Love Brandon McCarthy:

"I hate the grinder thing," McCarthy said. "I hate 'gritty.' I think that's a lazy way of describing things. I think it's just people who know how to prepare and stay prepared."

So if we're not going to call the new Diamondbacks grinders, what are we going to call what they're doing?

"Prepared baseball, maybe?" McCarthy suggested.

probably just wants to get traded

They could change their uniforms to pink polo shirts and flip flops and call it preppy baseball.

This was a comment directed at Candy Van, and he was also making fun of Morosi on Twitter today.

What's his username here?

have they ever had a rotation of dickey, josh Johnson, romero, buerhle, and morrow? reyes at short? I think they'll win 95 games or more.

I do like them this year. It's just funny how they've been a good team in a tough division for so long and nothing's come of it.

is the whole spelling 'could have' as 'could of' thing ironic? or did you all just fail sixth grade English?
