- The Mets have pulled within a game and a half of the Braves and have overtaken the Phillies in the stands. Here's to pushing the Phallin Phils moniker.
- I was looking at something that in a way saddens me. Back when the A's had the big three of Mulder, Hudson, and Zito, it seemed that those three would be the best trio in recent years. They were a lights out group that made the A's a contender. Then they started parting ways in a reminiscence of Billy Beane's Money Ball days, and each of them, while showing signs of possible success, still haven't matched their careers there. Here's to hoping that the era of home grown players is back, and here to stay.
- The Mets were looking at Millwood as a possible replacement. In his last three starts, including today's game against the Mets which he went 5.1 innings while giving up 8 earned runs, is 0-3 and has an ERA of 10.80. Some can be contributed for pitching for a non contender, but Millwood is 35, and is far removed from his great years of pitching. The Mets have 2 front line starters, a young hot hand (Niese), and two serviceable back of the rotation starters. I say keep it as is, and see if you can add some relievers and another bat, most likely at second base. If you can get a top tier starter like a Cliff Lee or Roy Oswalt, then thye should make a play, but adding another second tier starter is just keeping the same problems.
-Is there any better feeling then baseball season. As it starts getting closer to the all-star break when playoff races start mattering, it only gets better.
-Speaking of all stars, I am pleased to tell you that Jimmy Rollins is no longer the leading vote getter in the all star game (despite Phillies fan's best efforts). However, Polanco is still the leading vote getter at third even though he is not close to leading third basemen in any category.
