20 straight losing seasons will do that to some.

Reds looking good. 6 games up. If the Reds continue to play 600 ball. The Pirates will have to win 35 of the remaining 47 games to pass them. St Louis looking good to pass them.

The Astros fired their manager because it was all his fault. What a pathetic organization. Its no wonder CMAC left us.

Mills is bound to have had his resume typed up as soon as Crane bought the team.

HOUSTON -- Roger Clemens isn't done with baseball quite yet.

The 50-year-old Clemens signed with the Sugar Land (Texas) Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League on Monday and he is expected to start for the minor league team on Saturday at home against Bridgeport.

I so don't agree with this suit:
A New Jersey teenager left brain-damaged after being struck by a line drive while he was playing in a youth baseball game will receive $14.5 million to settle his lawsuit against the bat manufacturer

The league he was in used metal bats. A 12-year-old got hit in the chest and his heart stopped. Parents sue Lousiville Slugger because the approved metal bats work too well even though Louisville Slugger had toned down the bats in the 1990's. The parents also sued Little League, even though it wasn't a Little League game.

Yikes. A tragic accident, but a lawsuit? Why not sue the Rawlings for making baseballs too hard?

I just read that story, you gotta be fucking kidding me? $14m ? They need to sue his coach for not teaching him how to catch a damn ball.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Should have made him take a lap.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.
