too bad you aren't, gaylord. Where do you come up with this stuff? It's so funny! I couldn't do that to save my life. wow, i missed something here

I think Brady Anderson and Carrot Top are his personal trainers

Couldn't possibly be steroids, could it? http://www.red-hot-mama.com/images/uploads/speizio_tattoo.jpg

wait one more day and we won't have to worry about the Dodgers (as we'll be behind them in the WS standings)

World Series MVP

wow :shock: AAA numbers: .267/.314/.568/.883 32 HR bad K:BB ratio (90:25) but he's a slugger

"worth"? has he helped the mets significantly? has he significantly cash-strapped them? They've gotten one great year from him, one mediocre, and one injury-riddled

FWIW, Beltran hasn't been worth his contract either.

double post

BTW, our only hope right now is for A-Rod to break the record. I can't picture just about any other active hitter getting to the 700's. A look at the active HR Leaders 1. Barry Bonds* (42) 757 2. Sammy Sosa (38) 604 3. Ken Griffey* (37) 589 4. Frank Thomas (39) 505 5. Alex Rodriguez (31) 500 6. Jim Thome* (36) 490 7. Manny Ramirez (35) 489 8. Gary Sheffield (38) 478 9. Carlos Delgado* (35) 424 10. Mike Piazza (38) 422 11. Chipper Jones# (35) 375 12. Andruw Jones (30) 363 13. Jeff Kent (39) 360 14. Jim Edmonds* (37) 357 Jason Giambi* (36) 357 16. Vladimir Guerrero (31) 356 17. Luis Gonzalez* (39) 342 18. Shawn Green* (34) 326 19. Moises Alou (40) 324 20. Reggie Sanders (39) 305 21. Steve Finley* (42) 304 22. Todd Helton* (33) 297 23. Richie Sexson (32) 290 24. Craig Biggio (41) 289 25. Ivan Rodriguez (35) 286 26. Ryan Klesko* (36) 277 27. Albert Pujols (27) 274 28. Troy Glaus (30) 272 29. Paul Konerko (31) 268 30. Brian Giles* (36) 262 31. Scott Rolen (32) 260 32. Jermaine Dye (33) 259 33. David Ortiz* (31) 250 34. Miguel Tejada (31) 249 Jose Valentin# (37) 249 36. Garret Anderson (35) 247 37. Lance Berkman# (31) 245 Carlos Lee (31) 245 39. Tony Clark# (35) 237 Magglio Ordonez (33) 237 41. Matt Stairs* (39) 234 42. Adam Dunn* (27) 228 Derrek Lee (31) 228 44. Eric Chavez* (29) 227 45. Alfonso Soriano (31) 226 46. Carlos Beltran# (30) 222 47. Tony Batista (33) 219 48. Cliff Floyd* (34) 217 Nomar Garciaparra (33) 217 50. Bobby Abreu* (33) 216 51. Jeff Conine (41) 213 52. Jorge Posada# (35) 212 Aramis Ramirez (29) 212 54. Mike Cameron (34) 209 55. Adrian Beltre (28) 208 56. Pat Burrell (30) 205 Geoff Jenkins* (32) 205 58. Jose Cruz# (33) 204 That's everyone with at least 200 HR. Notice there aren't too many guys under the age of 30, with the highest total for someone in their 20's being Pujols at 274 (and his age is in question).

maybe we can have Bonds in LF and Floyd in RF. Who could we get for CF who can't run or play defense at all?

idk, my bff pie?

My hope is that a team wins this division with under 80 wins

a/s/l?

Barry's been on base 550 more times in 1400 less PAs. i'll take extra bases over walks you're also taking a hell of a lot of outs, which is why you're wrong here. i'm talking about a gifted athlete getting to 2nd and 3rd more often rather than a guy with no knees who is slower than cliff floyd walking to first in hopes that ray durham knocks him in so in other words, you really don't know baseball. Barry Bonds has far better numbers than most people who have ever played the game. Go look up his career numbers. I'm aware of his numbers. I'm looking at them as we speak. I'm trying to put his numbers in to context. But thanks for generalizing my baseball knowledge.

Derrek Lee in particular has been watching pitches right down the middle. Work in progress. When you have been told to swing at everything for four years it takes a while to adjust to a philosophy of "wait for something good to hit". and that's my point. I don't think Perry really wants the hitters to let good pitches go by, but they may not have the skills or at least haven't learned enough pitch recognition to make Perry's philosophy work really well. For the most part, our hitters are much more patient it seems than last season. On the other hand, often they end up 1-2 or 0-2 after looking at some really hittable pitches...and often this occurs in times where we need a hit or at least good contact. since when do All Stars like Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez need to learn how to hit? you're twisting the words, perhaps intentionally. They are learning a new philosophy, one that affects instincts, which cannot be changed over night. when did they start teaching this new philosophy? just recently? if so, why? they were fine. at the beginning of the year? then how do you account for June/July (and the sudden regression from those months)?

It wasn't, but none you you guys are really that funny. Little wonder this site is considered the home of teens, by many including those in the media and at the team. I won't waste another second(I know none of you care) responding to what he said. did someone get sand in their....

Not making outs isn't useful when your team sucks so bad as to not every drive you in

Hank Aaron had over 900 more total bases than Barry

If Pena doesn't like playing once then sitting for a few days, this is not the place for him to be

i would love to hear your thoughts on Pete Rose

If A-Rod fails to pass Barry down the road, it's going to be a LONG time before someone breaks that record
