The 2007 Major League Baseball Thread

Safe to say that unless The Braves find a starting pitcher...their season is over with.

Rich Ankeil has been linked to HGH from the same company that was linked with NFL's Rodney Harrison and 10 of the top WWE stars.

I know it won't happen, but if Toronto made the wild card it would be massive for baseball in Canada.

[Toe]

Troy Glaus of the Blue Jays has also been linked.

[gunnar hendershow]

It's worth emphasizing both players stopped being customers before HGH was banned by MLB.

[Vendetta]

Exactly, so I would say there is no way MLB could penalize them.

I feel the same way about Pacman Jones. He has been arrested all these times but he has never been convicted and I feel it us unfair for him to be suspended for the year when you got guys like Tank Johnson and Chris Henry who were convicted and didn't get near as long of a suspension.

I was at the Mets/Astros game today and it was so hot that I don't think most of the fans realized Glavine had a perfecto going through 5. When he gave up his first hit and I started applauding, most of the people (14 of us in total) I was at the game with didn't understand why I was clapping.

Dice-K really needs like 2 weeks off to stop these massive one inning blowups. Gave up 7 runs in the 3rd against the Orioles tonight... ugh. Him and Okajima need rest.

[Vendetta]

So what's the likely hood that The Mets have a complete meltdown and The Braves take the East....

Slim. And Philly has a better chance of getting the division than you.

[Lowerdeck]

In usual fashion... the Yankees/Red Sox game is running incredibly long. This one is now entering the bottom of the 9th. It started at 7:05, right now it's 11:48. It's only 8-7.

This rivalry is getting bullshit. We're so intent on beating each other, the games drag ass by trying to outdo one another.

[naiwf]

The Mets lost to the Phillies for the SIXTH straight time, blowing a late lead as usual. And the Sawx choked hard tonight too. What a miserable day of baseball.

[Lowerdeck]

Papelbon coughs one up to the Yankees. Lame. I figured we were losing today, but this time it wasn't Dice-K's fault.

Okajima could use some time off before the playoffs. We got Gagne back, rest the guy for a week or two.

[naiwf]

The Mets may never win again. Second straight loss to the Nats with a 4 run lead after losing 861 straight to the Phillies.

[jonnycomelately]

Philadelphia and San Diego need to start losing, every time the Dodgers win it seems they do to. It just so happens they win every time the Dodgers lose too. I have conceded that Arizona is winning the division but the Wild Card hopes are dwindling equally as fast. The Phils are getting St. Louis in the middle of a billion game losing streak and San Diego is getting the woeful Pirates. I can only hope for a miracle.

[Ash J. Williams]

I love it when the Cubs lose and the Brewers win.

Fuck the Cubs.

The Yankees are gonna win the AL East this year. There's no rational explanation for a 14 game comeback other than it's all goddamn rigged.

Now, I'm a Red Sox fan, but this year just didn't feel right to me, with the Sawx so comfortably out in front. Something was missing.

Then the Yanks started their run and the voices in Boston, nay, all of CT got louder until I realized what was lacking.

Everything feels normal again =)

All of New England has been on the panic button for a while. Now we're pressing like crazy. All we could think about today was 3.5. Tommorrow it'll be 2.5.

I'll be glad once we're done with Toronto.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Looks like New York's a game and a half back. More importantly, the Cubs managed to pull into the lead in the NL Central race after being tied going into last night's game. Cubbies took their game, Brewers were beaten by the Astros. Cubs have the Pirates next and the Brewers have ATL, I'm not getting my hopes up but that seems like the odds are in our favour.
