no, i am really just watching season to season.

as a red sox fan…we forget each year as it happens…..it gives us more time to root for the Bruins.
I've been able to steer clear of rhett, so in my mind, no, he does not suck.

thats why we're winning the series this year…to make up for no hockey….(i know i know its not what happened in 1994)
Yes, they were a game under .500 by June 1, just as you predicted. Good job. But Rome wasn't built in a year.

I'm a big american league fan, but i still think the cardinals will win it all this year.
The Cardinals look great, but the best thing about their season (for me anyway) was seeing Ankiel back. I'm glad he made it.

BTW Rhett, was I right about the Orioles this season ;) ?

well they have not been playing all that well lately, and both rolen and carpenters injuries look to be more serious than previously thought, and kline may be out for the playoffs, not exactly the best time for it to happen

Ankiel's curve looks better than it did before the injury
Question to National League baseball fans…

Who deserves the NL Cy Young?

Randy Johnson and Ben Sheets are the best pitchers in the NL, win-loss records be damned.

both league's playoff's have the potential to be really interesting this year. i'd like to see a cards/giants- cubs/braves in the nl. . .that nlcs could be really good. . .cards/cubs, even giants/cubs. and the braves. . .well, what about the braves. :)

Jason Schmidt was the easy choice, but he blew it, I say Randy Johnson

Schmidt was in the driver seat then lost it, Johnson blew it the other night against Colorado. I just don't see how you can't give it to Clemens at 18-4 and a good ERA. That stadium is very hard to pitch in also. And the fact he's 42 years old. Just give him one more before he retires.

Agreed, but unfortunately baseball writers seem preoccupied with win-loss records and a team's playoff chances. Clemens will probably win the Cy because of those two factors. Seems similar to what happened with Pat Hentgen and Andy Pettite in the mid 90's (96 I think), except then Hentgen won the Cy.

Johan Santana should be a walk in the AL.
