The Phillies are about to screw the pooch here.

We blew a 3 run lead in the 8th today, we aren't invincible by any means. Nope. But our pen is better than both of those teams.

The Cardinals and Brewers both have some serious problems in the bullpen.

This has ground to a halt over the weekend. We need to pick up the pace.

SHANE VICTORINO!

Keep the winning streak alive!

Manny has hit 2 HR's since being traded.

I posted this in today's game thread. Right now the HOF lists 13 players that have been inducted primarily as 3B. Three of those were inducted from the Negro Leagues. If Santo were added to the other ten, there would be eleven third basemen in the HOF. So, how would he rank among these other greats? In other words, I wanted to answer the question if Santo would lower the quality of player in the HOF. Here's what I came up with. Santo's 342 homeruns would rank him third among HOF thirdbasemen behind only 500 HR club members Mike Schmidt and Eddie Matthews. Santo's 1331 RBI would rank him fourth among the current HOF third sackers. His .277 BA might be one of the knocks on him as six of the ten HOF third basemen have hit over 300. However, there still would be four HOF thirdbasemen with lower batting averages. Santo has five Gold Gloves. Only two HOF thirdbasemen (Schmidt and Robinson) have more, and six have none. Santo's 954 Fielding % ranks him at sixth would be middle of the pack. Santo scored 1138 runs which places him in the middle of the pack at fifth. His 362 OBP would rank him sixth and his 464 SLG would rank him fourth. Finally, his OPS+ of 125 would rank him fifth and his 324 Win Shares would be fifth on the list as well. There's not a single category that would rank him in the lower third. Most metrics place him squarely in the middle of the pack among HOF thirdbasemen. I don't think there should be a doubt he belongs. And then here's a few more comments by James.

Pick again. Vikings defense has been selected. He just got offline, haha. Oh boy.

I guess even a broken clock can be right twice a day.

I love my Johnson!

Reed instead of Ward now.

Can Ward do something productive just once this season?

Why do i take joy in knowing that pitch hit the umpire?

Gaudin doesn't have it today.
