Astros & Marlins Ruining MLB

Fires me up! Selig is a spineless figurehead. No way both wildcards don't come from the AL West.

The Astros have Ronny Cedeno at DH today. I thought it was a mistake.

Huh? If the season ended today the Orioles and the Yankees are the WCs for the AL. Detroit (AL Central) would be in 3rd.

The only way for it to change is if the MLBPA threatens to get litigious on them. I do wish that the city of Miami could win a lawsuit and recoup some of that stadium money from Loria.

[Rene88]

Well the season doesn't end today. Not everyone has pmYed the Astros equally yet (I believe we have 1-2 series with them?)

Wait until the season ends, both wildcards will come from the west, book it. I would wager on that.

Fish are on pace for 34 wins. I hope they get some MLB ready talent when they trade Stanton.

Watching the BOS-STROS game, hoping against hope they can manage a W, and I find myself feeling sorry for the Stros' announcers. Imagine trying to sound interested and positive with that mess. We need to send them Jim Hunter. :smile11:

Now you have me wishing that the Chi-Sox were that bad so I could tune into a game in September and hear Hawk trying to deal with a 120 loss season.

It is a wonderful time when other owners are ranking higher than Angelos as the worst in MLB. Angelos five years ago was ranked the worst owner in North American Sport. And that is including NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.

[Rene88]

Angelos is still awful, don't worry. Buck is our savior from the heavens.

[hoosiers]

I have to laugh at this post.

Haven't the St. Louis Cardinals benefitted from playing with the Astros for the last 15 years or so (along with other relatively mediocre teams in the mid-West? The Cards played among the two easiest schedules in baseball last year. Funny that someone just notices the impact of poor teams only when it impacts the Os - as if having some bad teams is a new phenomenon.

Regarding the Marlins, I have little doubt that they will be a competitive team a lot sooner than they would have had they kept last year's team intact, but, again, a mediocre Marlins team is nothing new either.

[Jagwar]

Would you care so much about the Astros and Marlins if the O's were the team beating them?

[luismatos4prez]

Real question: If the Norfolk Tides were a ML team, and Giancarlo Stanton played for them, would they be better or worse than the Miami Marlins?

There is nothing intelligent about this post or this thread. The only commendable thing I can find is that the middle sentence isn't a fragment.
