Running MLB Thread, Part the Fourth, 2007

Delgado had wrist surgery in the off season and I don't think he's 100% yet ... if he doesn't start hitting in another month, then they have a real worry.

Yeah, I knew he had sugery and I've heard and read the talk that his problems are health-related. But he's old enough that you have to wonder if he will be able to bounce back in mid-season. I hope so (fantasybaseballlooser..hi spnited!)

It's OK, oop...we metsfanboyloosers will accept fantasybaseballloosers as long as they are rooting for Mets players.

Ha....why do you think I have paid such close attention to Maine and Perez? Well, the Perez thing is also the Pirate fan in me wanting to string David Littlefield up for being an idiot, too.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Denver Post attributed items found under Yahoo.com "rumors" (take that for what it's worth):

Angels are interested in Garrett Atkins.
Yankees are interested in Todd Helton and Brian Fuentes.

Claws add: Colorado Rockies are interested in being given their unconditional release from the National League.

Big blow for the Braves: Mike Gonzalez will undergo Tommy John surgery.

Damnit. Mets just got better.

Torii Hunter is an upper-middle class-man's Mike Cameron.

Better personality.

Much, much better player, too.

George King reports in the New York Post the Angels might be interested in Giambi.

Any truth, or is that George King making up rumors?

 

[spnited]

It is the NY Post... it is George King. Take it for what it's worth.
He has floated this one before.

Bobby Cox ejected tonight, after Renteria got a quick hook for arguing a strike-three call from the plate umpire in Atlanta.

Cox is at 129 ejections now, two away from John McGraw for the most in major league history.

Pen will do the Braves in again. Gonzalez hurt, Wickman has been on DL once and my guess is will be back there again.

Nats, meanwhile, rule the ****ing world.

And if Maine is a No. 4 starter -- ****, lots of teams would love a No. 4 that good.

 

[Moderator1]

And many, many other teams. Maine is a *****. He grew up 45 miles south of D.C. Would love to see him there.

I read about the Angels wanting Atkins elsewhere, too. Not sure why anybody would want him right now. He's been horrible.

The Rox would love to deal Helton and the Yankees do need a first baseman...maybe the stuff about being more fiscally responsible is out the window now that they're struggling.

5-3 Phils now. What happened?


Hottest team in the world is up 5-2 but Winston Abreu is in the game so my confidence is waning.

And Austin Kearns just made Sports Center's No. 1 play of the day.

 

[GB-Hack]

And of course in his return to the lineup Elijah Dukes goes deep for a 3-run homer against the White Sox.

Meanwhile there are a pair of bad backs in KC tonight.....

AP-Kansas City’s Gil Meche and Seattle’s Felix Hernandez both left Friday night’s game with tightness in the lower back.
Hernandez, in his third start since coming off the disabled list with a right elbow strain, cruised into the sixth with a 10-0 lead but gave up an RBI triple and a run-scoring double and was relieved after a lengthy conference on the mound that included assistant trainer Rob Nodine.

My asshole son just called. He's at Petco, watching one of his childhood heroes pitch for the Padres.
Wanted to rub it in!

Baseball Tonight is trying to replace Harold Reynolds, and what I'm seeing here, is that there's no replacing Harold Reynolds.
