Yeah, I'm bias but I think he earned it. Santana was off the charts sick after the break, and so I'm glad he won unanimously just makes that better...but what does Schilling have to do to win one of these things? Petition that Johan be traded to the NL?

Seth, thanks for that rookie info, for basically doing the searching I myself was too lazy to do. Accept, they've never had a 1-2 starting combination like they do this season. In terms, and I'm only speaking about the Braves here, but they have less pressure IMO this year than any of their...

Well, this morning in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, it mentioned that all 4 Braves broadcasters are working under deals with options for 2005-06 and that 3 of the 4 have already agreed to return, with Sutton still in negotiations.

His father is enough for me thanks...we got the wrong Cubs announcer.

In the American League. Minnesota at New York Boston at Anaheim I'm guessing that since Houston won... In the National League Los Angeles at St. Louis Houston at Atlanta should be fun!

Seth, I'm not sure that Lou Ford qualifies as a rookie or not, I really don't know. He emerged this year, but he did play a fair amount last year, does anyone know what the rule is? If he qualifies, he's my choice as well.

I agree with this, and part of me wonders why he wasn't canned at the end of last year. Seth, great points and I agree with your theory regarding those 2 leaving their teams and it helpful for the teams they departed because it allowed others to step to the forefront, or relieve tention.

I hope they make it as the wild card...if so they play Atlanta, and the Braves have a great playoff history against Houston.

Steve Stone's comments anger Cubs

Well, Atlanta just beat the Cubs 8-6, which just clinches the already known fact that the Cubs will not be making the playoffs this year. Well, at least it was 8-6 and not 7-6 with all those 1 run losses they had this year which is really what killed the Cubs. Anyone else not have a problem...

While I agree that it is sort of embarrassing, and to me kind of funny as well, the Vikings thing really wouldn't be an issues since both Vikings games kickoff at noon and we both know that the world series games won't be until primetime, so if they can manage to do a Twins/Gofers game on the...

I'd give him as good a shot as any, it would still be difficult though. Another person I might give some consideration to for that posibility is Todd Helton. I think because his Rockies teams have been so bad that it is sometimes forgotten how good he is.

Bryan, I agree with you on your NL manager of the year, and on the AL MVP. Bonds is the NL MVP, and its not even close anymore, sorry Beltre fans. I agree with Lew and Shane on AL manager of the year, and Johan Santana and Roger Clemens win the Cy Young awards

Congradulations to Bobby Cox for becoming the 9th man to win 2,000 games as a manager.

This is not going to happen any time soon, because the inter league play matchups always see a spike in attendance. I personally don't mind inter league play accept for those dog matchups like Rockies/Devil Rays and Padres/Tigers and so on. If they stick with the current format, and its...

I don't like this idea, because the team with the bye might have some considerable time off, which is not always good for a baseball team. Sure, it might allow some injuries to heel and the such but it might also allow some hot bats to cool off, and I suppose you could argue either way as to...

Congratulations to Maddox for winning his 15th game of the season making this 17 years in a row he has won 15 games or more.

Absolutely! I love baseball in September.

I agree, and if anyone other than Johan Santana wins in the American League it will be a crime. Congratulations to the Twins who clinch the A.L. Central, joining the Cardinals as division clinchers. Hopefully, Atlanta will be next. Man, I wondered if I'd be able to say that this year...

Congradulations to Barry Bonds for becoming just the third man in major league history with 700 home runs.

Barry Bonds, your NL MVP, is standing at the door of 700 home runs currently with 699....and the Giants are in the wild card led. How about those Padres scoring 12 runs in the 9th inning yesterday? Atlanta played extra innings yesterday and is playing a double header today, certainly not...

Atlanta has seemed to have hit the skids in the past few games. They won on Monday, but in that last game of the Montreal series and in the doubleheader yesterday against the Phillies they've had trouble scoring runs and with leaving guys on base. Actually, even with the win on Monday you saw...

So does anyone have any thoughts on the Yankees asking that Tampa Bay Forefit the first game of today's double header, because they didn't leave Tampa Bay in time to make the game. I've got a few, and oh how I'd love to rant on thi subject using lots of ! points but I won't. Sure, Tampa...

Atlanta got away with one today, winning even though they stranded 13 runners on base. You know a couple of weeks ago, Patrick S, told us not to count Houston out of the wild card race and it looks like he's right. Houston has won 9 games in a row coming in to today and are well enough ahead...

Well, a lot of less than average teams have been doing that as of late.

As Travis mentioned, it was that NLCS...but what a spectacular colapse that was, they had a 3 games to 1 lead, and lost the next 3 by something like 32-4 IIRC. Of the 3 division leaders as of right now, Dodgers, Cardinals, and Braves, the Braves have had the best playoff history in recent...

I dunno, maybe its my Atlanta bias, but I don't see the Cardinals winning the world series. Not that I'm picking Atlanta to win, but the starters in St. Louis aren't enough to worry me. After the Angels, and the Marlins, I'm looking for the team that sort of has those qualities about them...

Jeff, what I'm trying to say was that I remember how several Red Sox fans decended on this thread at the trade deadline and did everything but offer to burn down Fenway. A small minority even accused ownership of sabatage. I just thought it was interesting to listen to that then, and to see...

I can't say I'm surprised in a way I've always known, but I have noticed that Red Sox fans are far more willing to write off their own team than they are the Yankees. I remember some of the comments made when the Nomar for Cabrara/Mientkiewicz trade went down. 22-0...Mt. Steinbrenner won't...

He's certainly in the discussion, and to me he's one of the best pitchers of all time.
