Official 2007 MLB Season Thread

Wow..Beating down the Jays for the sweep. What the hell happened to Toronto? They came to Boston and swept then went to New York and split and then down hill from there. This is the 9th loss in a row for the Jays :eek:
 
Having given up 12 hits in 5 ip two starts ago and 11 hits in 5 ip tonight, the better -- and more devastating -- question might be:

"What's wrong with Roy Halladay?"
 
True,but they're not exactly scoring runs either..Or hitting for that matter. But there's something def not right with Halladay.He usually does well against the Sox..
 
B.J. Ryan is out for the season as well. Looks like the Blue Jays might be done for the season.
Blue Jays closer B.J. Ryan will miss the rest of the season after having Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Thursday, a difficult blow for struggling Toronto.

Ryan, who signed a $47 million, five-year contract before the 2006 season, is expected to ready for spring training next year.

Anybody need a young utility infielder with anger issues?

Seems the Diamondbacks may soon be offering one of their hot young prospects to another team after Alberto Callaspo got arrested for domestic violence and criminal damage.

After their tighter morals standards after the anger incidents and the steroid clouds over the past few years, he may be gone from the team rather quick -- likely as soon as the criminal investigation is complete.

now they are buried.

Former Cy Young winner Roy Halladay is expected to miss four to six weeks because of appendicitis, the latest bad break for the struggling Toronto Blue Jays. Halladay was set to have an appendectomy Friday night. Halladay lasted only five innings Thursday night and was hit hard in an 8-0 loss to Boston.

Hardly the appendix that crapped out his last two starts, but tough news for Toronto, anyway.

My guess is this will probably good for the Jays long term -- rest Halladay in May and have him strong come October.

I dunno, the Dodgers are seriously shopping for a power-hitting third baseman, but management is not into anger issues (see: Milton Bradley).
 
chipper critizies interleague play

found this not too long ago, chipper jones rips the interleague play format. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-braves-cjones-interleague&prov=ap&type=lgns

Chipper Jones said:
I don't think there's any question it's not fair, but I don't think major league baseball is concerned with fair. If you play the top teams in the American League and everybody else doesn't, it's pretty unfair.

Is it fun? Yeah. It's fun playing in new cities. It's fun playing in front of new crowds, it's fun playing new teams. What's not fun is when they're all contenders and your competition doesn't have to play the same competition you do.

It's a factor (in the pennant race). We play Boston six times, and they've got the best record in the American League. We play the top three teams in the toughest division in baseball (the AL Central). We, without a doubt, have the toughest schedule in baseball, bar none. You don't play in our division and play the interleague schedule we play and not say we don't have the toughest schedule.

If we're going to play the American League Central, everybody has to play all the teams in the American League Central. This split-it-up and we have to play our rival in the American League East stuff, I don't get it. It's unfair for us and the Mets on a year-in, year-out basis to have to play the Yankees and Red Sox when other teams don't. This is no disrespect to the rest of the teams in the American League East, because Tampa is up and coming, and in two or three years, Tampa might be the class of the American League East and the Florida Marlins are going to have to deal with it. We should do it the way we did it the first five or six years of interleague play, and that's play every team in the American League East, every team in West and so on.

I'm worried about the Yankees, they usually start of bad, but they are 8 games out and we are only mid May! I have no doubt that they will close the gap, but the Red Sox are looking pretty good, while the Yankees are plagued by inconsistency.

Also, where was run support for Pettitte today?
 
I hope to go to a STL home game this summer. I haven't been to the new ballpark, yet. They can't win at home (7-11), this year. Nobody in the NLCentral has a winning record at home but the Brewers. Aren't teams 'posed to win, at home? :confused: Just pitiful.

I'm hoping they continue to lose on the road, too. I'll be at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. :)
 
The Red Sox will not keep up the pace they are on all season long. I am not worried yet. If at the All Star break the Yankees are 8 behind Boston then I will worry. Once the Yankees get on a role the hitting and pitching will fall into place.
 
Fred Lewis -- a Giants rookie who, as far as I can tell, is a no-name -- hit for the cycle today. This is the same Fred Lewis who hit a robust .248 in AAA last year while striking out 117 times.

It's somehow redeeming. If Fred Lewis can do it, don't you think, just maybe, at the right moment, you could have done it, too?

Well sure. All of us, except for maybe Michael Jordan. :)

Just hope they look at his knees before they have him sign. You don't need two coaches making over $1m this year.

They can't catch a damn break. I hope this doesn't go around the division like a cold through college students.


Other notes: the WSox got blown out by the ROYALS. So sad. Other blowouts tonight: SF 15 Col 2, Pit 13 Atl 2, Dodgers 10, reds 5 (is that a big enough gap for a blowout? I'm not sure...), and the Twins 16-4 over the Tigers.

A .694 winning percentage over the entire season is 112 wins. 4 shy of the record
