  1. Well they did hire a new manager in Buddy Bell, not really sure if that had anything to do with it but they are 10-4 since he has been there.
  2. Well it good to know that you can draw that conclusion already. I might want to see this it just depends on how they do it live action or like the FF movie in CGI. Also if it is a direct story of the first game I dont know if I would want to see that since I have already gone through it a few times in the game.
  3. Well the first round of the MLB draft along with a few more rounds happened yesterday and like predicted BJ Uptons brother, Justin went with the first pick to the Dbacks. Rather then posting the entire analyst from espn since it is pretty long here is a link to the write up on the picks: Draft Picks.
  4. Could be true, I didnt realize that they got him for just 300000. That is a pretty good deal if he is able to return to his previous form and even if he returns to the way he has been pitching most of the season if really isnt that big of a loss finacially.
  5. Graves wasnt really doing that well at the beginning of the season. When I saw him when they faced Cleveland he really didnt pitch that well and by the looks of his ERA 7.76 he wasnt pitching that good against anyone. Maybe a change in scenery will help him but that remains to be seen.
  6. As of now there are 8 franchises.
  7. I say it is probably on the down side now and it was at it peak back in the late 90's atleast here in Cleveland that how it was. As soon as the change over from the old NPSL to MISL the league began to crumble seemly from finacial troubles. It reach its peak at cult level status and as of now I think that is going to likely be as far as it makes it, even though I do like it.
  8. Yeah I used to go to lots of the Cleveland Force game when I was younger and they were winning championships but I really havent watched it recently. I did see the Finals on Espn 2 though since Cleveland was competing, altough they may have to fold after this year.
  9. I think that people care alot less about horse racing when there is no Triple Crown on the line after the first 2 races, including myself. Anyways I really dont think that Giamico is going to win this at all, Derby was a fluke and I think Alex will probaly win this one.
  10. Yeah the Espns and ABC play all of the US games and Spanish channel plays the Mexican games. They threw in some other games I think also. Edit: Anyone see yesterdays qualifier against Costa Rica. It was a pretty close game and Keller had some great saves in the secound half. Donavon has been playing really well in the qualfiers with 11 points in 12 games with 2 goals yesterday.
  11. There are a few upcoming World Cup qulifier games for the US Mens team, the next one is Wednesday June 8 but it wont be on till 1 am on Espn 2, kinda sucks but I will still probaly watch it since school will be out. Here are pretty much the rest of there games for the rest of the summer mostly qualifier and a friendly if you care if you care: US Mens Schedule
  12. Granted Washington didnt play that well last year it isnt like they are some thrown together expansion team they are a team that been together. I am sure that a change in scenery probaly helped the players since there are actually people at the games this year compared to last years games in Montreal.
  13. Yeah that is a Cleveland paper, it is the one I get anyways. I am not really sure what to think of Brown becoming the team president. I mean he was a great coach, but what personal talent has he shown in the past. The Olympic stuff that happened between Lebron and Larry also makes me wonder if they have moved on.
  14. Wow the A's are really doing pretty bad this year, I mean I knew that they lost good starters but I thought that they would do better then they are doing right now. I am glad that the Indians were able to sweep them today. The team looks to have turned it around recently with 4 wins in the last 5 or so. There still got alot of games to make up against the White sox's but there is still alot of season to be played. Aaron Boone needs to start hitting, or he needs to sit some games on the pine since right now he is sucking and he is doing pretty bad on the field too. I went to the game thursday and he bobbled almost every ball that went his way. I am still surprised at the Indians bullpen, they are one of the best in the AL if not the ML right now, a big turnaround from last year.
  15. I have heard the VM move talked about at other boards and they have said other then Lost it is all new shows out there so that could boost its numbers. Also it will actually have a solid lead in for the audience it is looking for in ANTM.
  16. Yeah commercials werent that long, I wish they wouldnt have had them every round but it was alright. The fight really wasnt that close for the last few rounds, the annoucers were just trying to play the match as if it would all come down to last round so people would stay tuned. I thought Sergio dominated most of the rounds with his combos.
  17. I am not sure how many people are still watching but I am and tonight is the live season finale. It is down to Sergio Mora and Peter Manfrado Jr. My pick is Peter, he just seems to be the better boxer to me altough I could be wrong. The match is scheduled for 12 rounds as far as I know but I am not sure. I am just wonder who you guys thought was going to win.

    Well Jack is dead . It was a pretty good season it will be intresting to see how Jack gets involved in the next day
  19. Yeah I was watching the Indians game since I live here and he just got a good pitch and blasted it to center field. Now if some other the team could start hitting like that. A useless fact to go with this, there have been 7 homers by AL picthers during interleague play now four of which have been by the Indians(Dwight Gooden, Dave Burba, Jason Davis, and C.C.) It is just werid.
  20. Actually almost the entire Greek team was made up of Americans for the Olympics. Baseball isnt a very popular sport in Grecce so they had been allowed to use forigners most from the US so that the host country was able to participate in the Olympics.
  21. If anything it would be giving the other countries more of a fighting chance. The only places Baseball is big is in Southeast Asia, North America and that is pretty much it in other world cups they dont just throw in terrible teams, so why should this be any different. It would be all right if the US had more then one team this time around but as Baseball popularity in other countries increases then it will be able to go to World Cup like other sports where all teams are qualifing to get in.
  22. It also will be good since Teams cannot block players from participating, although they might bring in rules to limit apperances/innings. Also is pretty cool since it sounds as though they are going to be playing the games all over the world, well atleast for the Asian teams. It will be cool to see if the US is able to stand up to the rest of the world Major leagueurs.
