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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Do You Prefer Texas or Tampa Bay?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      Texas, except if Texas beats the Rays... well I guess in that case they'll be playing well enough that I might want to change my answer to the Rays!

      Texas definitely. They’ve struggled the past couple of months. Tampa is the second best team in the AL. It’s ludicrous that we would potentially match up in the ALDS.

      Kyle Gibson 2023

      By Frobby · Posted

      It felt more like a $10 mm season.  But we got what we paid for, and then some.   I’d peg Gibson’s future career earnings as closer to $25 mm than $10 mm.  He just seems like a guy who has a few competitive seasons left in him.  Lyles got a 2/$17 mm deal after his 179 inning, 88 OPS+ season with us.  Gibson just gave us 192 innings of 87 OPS+.  He gave us 17 quality starts and 15 wins.  His next contract will be as good as the current one, maybe better.  And he’ll pitch after that.

      Texas. Obvious answer is obvious.

      How Many Stick Around to Next Year?

      First of all, I was referring to Mateo as the sub 600 guy. And you can trade Mullins if you have a real replacement for him. This organization does not currently have a replacement for him.

      How Many Stick Around to Next Year?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      We are all aware that there are no sure things. I don’t think that needs to be stated, whether it’s going to the young players or keeping the vets.  That is obvious. That being said, we have Holliday, Mayo, Cowser and Kjerstad who are, by most rankings, all top 30 guys and they are all performing at a high level and ready to be here or, at the very least, very close. And this doesn’t include Ortiz, who has been a consensus top 75 guy. Plus you have Norby and Stowers. All of them are ready. You aren’t going to have that level of talent and let it go to waste. It’s just not happening.

      I thought the idea was to trade guys while they still had value (before the crash) and fill that position with a cheaper version? You are speculating that Mullins would of hit better if he wasn't injured.  All I'm saying is this is 2 years in a row with stats showing a downward trend so if it happens again next season you have a player that won't be worth a bag of balls at the end of next season because it will be assumed his skillset is fading.  We basically got Hicks off the street because he couldn't stay healthy and his production had completely fallen off. Also, you make a statement that Cowser is a sub .600 player so does that mean you don't make plans for him next season?  Of course you need a fall back option but I thought you are always all for making sure the young guys get opportunity. We do agree that Cowser isn't a natural center fielder but in my scenario you would have a defensive minded backup, be it Hicks, Mckenna or someone else.  If Cowser doesn't hit enough to make up for lack of range then we definitely want to have someone on the roster who can play top notch D to fall back on. You can't predict development.  I know I didn't expect Gunner to look this good at short and honestly Westburg has been way better than I thought we would see based off of scouting reports.
