As of today (5/18/07), the Boston Red Sox are ranked first in the MLB standings at 28-12 (.700), 2.0 games above the next-best team in the MLB, the Mets (26-14, .650), and 9.5 games above the Yankees (18-21, .462). :D
 
Mets beat Yankees AGAIN! Wright hits two dingers as the Bronx Bombers continue to implode. Life doesn't get any better than this for a Met fan.

Let's Go Mets!
 
Vote for Lackey!

Congratulations to Angels pitcher, John Lackey for being the first MLB pitcher to reach 9 wins this season! (He is also top 5 in ERA) :banana:

PS I hope there aren't any Cubbies fans on the board. I will pray for you... :tombstone:
 
Congratulations to Angels pitcher, John Lackey, for being the first 10 game winner this season!
 
Did anyone else see Verlander's no-hitter against Milwaukee? Awesome game, but just like the Tigers they lose the following game. :(

Gotta feel happy for the young man. Interestingly, he said after the game that he didn't really feel like he had is best stuff. They played great defense though--did you see that late double play?

It was amazing. It was an overall great game. I worry about Verlander sometimes, because when you watch him pitch he usually seems to need 3 to 4 innings to get his pitches under control. That being said, that is only my :2cents: worth.

Let's Go Sox!!!!!
 
Thast what I think and frankly Im fine with that. Even though McLaren lost his first game tonight I think he will be much better. And is probably credited with how good the team was allready this year. We need a few more pieces for playoff contention though.
 
Congratulations to Angels right fielder, Vlademir Guerrero, for being the 2007 Home Run Derby champion!
 
Oxymoron...Wild-card team ans World Champion!?!

Usually, but not always:

Still 10 games up, with healthy pitching!!!

Go Sox!!!

I hope they can hang on and win the division, then the series. The "wild-card" series wins to me are tainted. A team that can't at least win their division cannot truly be called World Champion for a season that they could not come in first in their own division. At best they are a playoff champion.

My hope is one day MLB will go to four divisions in each league and the four division winners will vie for the league championship. Here at a team without the best record in the league at least had the best record in the division.

And YES I will feel this way if one day the Nationals are a "wild-card" World "Champion.

So for now go Sox!

When I started to follow baseball as a child there were sixteen teams in the major leauges...eight in the National, eight in the American.

The winner of each league played in the World Series.

The good old days.
 
For all you naysayers out there, the Dodgers are STILL in first place in the National League West.

Better take your humility pills, guys (heh, heh)...

And to think this was written less than a month ago. What a tailspin!

BTW, will someone please tell the Mariners its time to come back to earth now?
 
Isn't it interesting how the Cards have crept back into the race? Wouldn't it be funny if they got into the playoffs and go all the way through again and win the World Series?

I would find it very funny and I know I would laugh. :D
