It's been a while since we've had one of these games.

 

 

Yeah. Means either 2 runs in 3 games coming up (as mentioned above), or we go on a streak of winning 6-7 of next 8, but then drop 5 or more in a row.

 

Never fails.

I guess that "youth movement" doesn't work for everyone in the Braves' minor league system. 2 granny's given up in 2 games so far for Devine.

 

Maybe brought up a bit tooooooo soon, seeing as he was only just drafted about a couple months ago.

Prior vs Hampton tomorrow... I'm sensing series win tomorrow - that "play good vs good teams, but not so vs not so good teams" thing.

 

(and yes, I'm putting this one in the books as a win)

Lee with double #40

 

Any chance that Lee finishes the year with 50 doubles and 40 homers? 40 homers is inevitable, but 50 doubles might be tough. I can only count a handful of players that have ever achieved it (Lou Gehrig, Hank Greenberg, Juan Gonzalez, Todd Helton, Carlos Delgado and Albert Pujols). Coming into the game, Lee was on pace for 50 doubles and 48 homers. I don't think anybody has ever had a 50/50 season.

 

Edit: Well, I'm wrong. Albert Belle had a 50/50 season in 1995.

Im not sure that this info has been released yet, but does anyone know when the All-Star game is gonna be at Wrigley again??

 

Not at least until 2008.

 

It was last here in 1990, so that means its only been 15 years, and there are 30 teams, some who have never hosted an ASG. I would think Arizona, Florida, Tampa Bay, NY Yankees, NY Mets, Washington, Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Francisco will all get a shot before the Cubs. Plus it was just here with the White Sox 2 years ago so I bet that gets some consideration

In 20-30 years, people are going to wonder about the enigma Albert Belle was. He was probably better then someone like Manny Ramirez in his prime, but injuries and maybe steroids (I mean we know he corked his bat, might be a slippery slope, but with numbers like that you have to question) ended his career prematurely.

 

Can you believe Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle were once in the same lineup

This team gives me fits. They lose games they should win and I want them to win, but pound on the opposition when they get me to the point where I really don't give a flip.
