you seem to be a nice oerson to know.
Some here may beg to differ.
I like talkinp to people who follow all baseball, not just their fav.
I am probably worse then some guys, got the Rays/Yanks on switching to the Sawx/Twins during commercials and the Gameday up on the computer scanning the scoreboards.
You and I get to watch 2 great 2nd baseman in Dan Uggla and Chase Utley.
I see Uggla occasionally when I watch the Marlins if they aren’t on opposite the Rays. I think Iwamura has done a pretty good job at 2B since moving from 3B and he was no slouch there. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 6:24:38 PM | | Hamilton is becoming my favorite player on this team. He has a great attitude, runs like the wind, hits the ball harder than I have ever seen, and plays the game right. He can definitely become a 5 tool player easily, because he also has a cannon for an arm. Most people around here are upset that we gave away Volquez because of how he is pitching now, but he hadn't done it here and Hamilton is the center fielder we have been needing. I am also liking David Murphy, who we got from Boston in the Gagne trade last year....he's a Baylor boy from Texas, and he is having a nice little rookie season. | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 10:22:56 PM | | I made a mistake, I meant B.J. Upton. I know he plays O.F. most of the time. Uggla is good.I had Iwamura part of last year. A few years ago my brother asked me who I thought was the all time best at each position, Who would you list? That could be a new Thread. | |

Hamilton is becoming my favorite player on this team.
I have no doubt, he has always had the potential. I was sorry to see Josh go, but it was understandable. There were too many problems off the field, abuse issues and then baby Momma drama going on with him for so many years. Finally between him, the DRO and even after awhile the fans it was best for all concerned to let him go. I am glad to see him finally get to show his ability though because he is a very , very good all around ball player and a very personable guy. I saw him do things in the minors, in ST camp and instructional league play that would just blow you away.
I made a mistake, I meant B.J. Upton.
BJ, did a fine job at 2b but he is much, much more suited for the OF as much as I like Rocco, I think he has lost his job.
A few years ago my brother asked me who I thought was the all time best at each position, Who would you list?
Yes, might want to start another thread, don’t want this deleted for going too far off topic. I believe there was one awhile back though it might not have been restricted to baseball but any sport. It also sort of falls into the category of a list thread which is kind of frowned upon here.
Great game last night, even the Yanks have some good things to say about the Rays and coming from them it is great considering they were kind of mad at us in ST. Half a game ahead, I’ll take it, first time ever they have been in that position in May.
Then on the flip side to what seems to be a fairly exciting season for most teams you have the revamped indictments on Bonds. So, looks like Roger and Barry will fight for headlines. | |

It's a fair discussion for this forum. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:26:07 PM | Rays and Sox lost so no change in the standings there.
Anybody catch the play by Manny ? Might want to check out the clip from their game against the O’s on the Boston site. Though I personally appreciated the grand slam by Payton.
Stairs got a grand slam for one Toronto as well.
Kind of ironic that a day after new indictments come down on Bonds, new drug policy revisions are approved by MLB and the MLBPA.
It's a fair discussion for this forum.
You named the thread “ This Week in baseball” not “All-time” teams, players and so forth. By all means, if you don’t care if your thread gets deleted for being off topic to your thread title then knock yourself out.

Posted: 5/17/2008 9:42:05 AM | ^^^^^^^Not going to make any friends that way! Just kidding.
It’s been a pretty good week.
Long terms contracts for Hanley Ramirez and Scott Kazmir.
Hamilton leads in RBI adding 5 last night. Werth with three homers against the Jays. The old man Chipper with the best BA and most hits.
Gotta give some love to the pitchers Webb with 9 wins, Saunders with 7, Cliff Lee is
6-0 with a 0.67 ERA. 
My Rays are still in first place and Andy Sonnanstine can actually hit, will wonders never cease?
Almost time for Saturday afternoon baseball. | |

Posted: 5/17/2008 10:27:13 AM | Hamilton......that dude is a total stud. Came to the plate last night, needing a double for the cycle....and took a walk.  Not many players in today's "me" era that would do that. I think his past troubles gives him more of a team player attitude, which is what the Rangers need....plus the fact that he can hit the freakin' cover off the ball! Rangers......1 game from .500......who'd a thunk it!! | |

Posted: 5/17/2008 7:38:15 PM | As a Jays fan, the hardest time for cheering for them is when they play the Tigers. As a kid raised in Windsor, before there was a Canadian ML team, I spent many wonderful afternoons at old Tiger Stadium with my Grand Dad . LOL, I still feel like a traitor when I cheer for the Jays when they play Detroit.
This year I have no idea who I think will win it, its been a very surprising season so far. All I know is I have never seen such a streaky team as my Jays, as I have this year. So much talent, yet no consistency. Pity, I really thought they might have a chance this year!
Only good thing, is I know the damn Yankees wont do it either, lol. | |

I don't mean a stalker of a rod..but she stalks Alex Rodriguez.. I personaly could care less for the Yankess...I like to pull for the Braves. | |

Hamilton......that dude is a total stud.
I completely agree. I might have to try to get to a game when they come into town on the next Ray’s home stand.
Only good thing, is I know the damn Yankees wont do it either, lol.
One thing I have learned is to never count the Yankees out so soon in the season.
but she stalks Alex Rodriguez
I am sure with Arod’s money and looks he has quite a few, even butt ugly celebrities have had stalkers.
Seems the Mets brought the broom to Yankee stadium
Didn’t the Friday game get postponed? The Mets do seem to have this game in hand. Bad call on the foul pole homer, but doesn’t seem like they will need it.
Rays played like a bunch of bushers, poor base running Saturday, 10 walks on Sunday, a good team like the Cards will eat you up making those kinds of mistakes. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the “old” Devil Rays haven’t shown back up.
The cincy reds just swept the indians.
They beat Lee, too! Brooms were out in Boston, as well. They now lead the AL East. | |

Posted: 5/20/2008 10:39:02 PM | | It was awsome that Jon Lester pitched a no hitter Mon. Love it when a person who makes it after a serious illness, after all that I have delt with I understand the pain and worry that people go thru. G od bless Jon Lester and everybody else who is suffering now. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 6:59:36 AM | I didn’t get to see the game but watched the highlights. Jon’s a good pitcher, what a great story, wouldn’t be surprised to see a movie done about his battle, I think it would be really inspirational.
I got a little teary eyed when I read about Piazza retiring (okay, I admit it , I am such a girl), I have met him on several occasions. He is one of my all time favorite players, very personable guy, I have never personally witnessed him being rude or put off by fans. I went to a charity event several years ago where he was one of the main attractions. It was a lot of fun, a lot of great players, Lou Brock was there. I hope we get to see Mike doing something on a regular basis like broadcasting on ESPN. 
Looks like the Pads maybe in for a “fire sale”, they are in a horrible slump and now Peavy on the DL.
Due to the two nights of blown calls Bud Selig has stepped up his proposals of implementing instant replay. Not sure how I feel about that idea. Watching games at the Trop I have seen some horrible and downright weird calls in my time, but with a game that can last anywhere from 3-5 hours at times, this seems like it could be more of a hindrance then a help.
Rays barely take 2 from the A’s, one game back from Boston and Yanks still in last.
How about that old man Tom Glavine? | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 10:53:31 PM | | Piazza was a 62 round draft pick from Norristown Pa, He was drafted by Lasorda becauce he was friends with Piazzas dad, Now he will be a 1st time eligable hall of famer. Rooted for him as a Dodger and Marlin, not as a Met. Saw the 96 allstar game in Philly when he got the MVP. | |

Posted: 5/22/2008 6:31:23 AM | I was relieved to read this morning that the injury SD pitcher Chris Young sustained last night appears to be just external with a fracture to his nose, it was pretty scary watching the video. Their catcher Bard appears to have a sprained ankle which also could have been worse. I feel bad for Pujols as well, he seemed pretty upset about it especially to not be able to finish the game. Padres must have really pissed off the baseball Gods, what else can go wrong?
I know, I know, there's no crying in baseball!
The Rays were on TV yesterday which was good cause they got spanked, but I caught the Braves/Mets game, nice win for the Braves and kept an eye on the Marlins/ Dbacks game, (sorry, I had to watch the American Idol finale) good win for the fish.
Im ecstatic about this thread and double yea to other women who follow baseball as much as I do.
Welcome. At times I can be worse than some men when it comes to baseball. Give me a high five girl, Yankees in last place!  | |
