We did a segment called "Know a crappy team" a while back and we covered the Royals and the Rays. Our conclusion was that those two teams may be competing in the near future based on the moves they made. I feel like the Nationals are a couple, albiet big, moves away from competing in the NL East.<BR/><BR/>That said, I wouldn't take too much stock in how the season is starting. In the last few years, the Baltimore Orioles have always taken first place in the AL East, only to lose it by June. A lot of the teams that are off to hot starts, won't be able to sustain them. The Orioles lack of pitching will start to show, the Royals lack of credible offense will slow them down, and the Marlins lack of a major league team will stop them in their tracks. If we check back at the all star break, things will look more like you would expect them to.<BR/><BR/>On a seperate note, I don't believe the hype about the Mariners, Blue Jays, or Tigers. Never did. I think none of those teams have a chance.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-47839078717892213342008-04-17T00:38:00.000-07:002008-04-17T00:38:00.000-07:00Ya know, i posted this on sliding into home...

(greg always does great with game summaries) After we got blanked by KC and stood at 4-5, he listed all the contenders in MLBs records and they were all poor, and i realized many last place teams (save the amazing diamonbacks, whom i think will take it all this year; and the Giants are just terrible) were excelling, so I thought about it and posted this:<BR/><BR/>"This raises an interesting point...<BR/><BR/>They say if you shuffle a deck seven times you get the most random order of cards from the point in which you started.. sometimes referred to as a "Perfect Shuffle."<BR/><BR/>With that said, do you think, that with free agency, and the national attention of actually building good farm systems, talent development, revenue sharing and luxury taxes... weve reached a "perfect shuffle" in baseball?<BR/><BR/>Looks like all the last place teams have carried great springs into good starts this season, and with the contenders struggling so far, albeit two weeks in, perhaps weve seen a more level playing field take place.<BR/><BR/>food for thought."<BR/><BR/>Would love to know what you think about that, even if its just april and it comes full circle, its happened consistently recently but this year was the same across the board.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623601804657380157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-84033808210252937112008-04-16T13:08:00.000-07:002008-04-16T13:08:00.000-07:00Sure Mike, you'll have to add a section to your bl...Sure Mike, you'll have to add a section to your blog for Great Yankees Blogs.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-58398788579333343882008-04-16T10:34:00.000-07:002008-04-16T10:34:00.000-07:00Heynice blogjust hoping you could add my blog to y...Hey<BR/><BR/>nice blog<BR/><BR/>just hoping you could add my blog to your blogroll and i will do the same for yours.

It ...I thought it was a very insightful interview. It was interesting to see a yankees fan agreee with billy martin being replaced a good thing. people think he was a genius as a manager, but, the guy used to make Reggie Jackson bunt for christs sake!!! I dont quite agree with the munson being better than Fisk. I'm kind of a stat minded guy, so, intangibles dont mean much to me. I think Munson was Jason Varitek before his time. i love tek, but really? Tek is kind of overrated in my book. Everybody talks about his intangibles, but, who says Kevin Cash cant call a good game? In other words, if pitchers dont like what the catcher is calling, shake them off. If your stuff is really that good, then, you can get away with it. if the yankees ever do a free beer givaway, there will be pandamonium. Very interesting point about the free agency. The red sox could have done themselves some good signing catfish hunter. Sounds like Jim rice was AROD before Arod, no? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt goosage facing a very, very, over the hill Yastrzemski? I'm not gonna lie, but I would pay money to see an author fight Jose Canseco. For the record. Didnt Bucky Dent cork his bat? I think he has freely admitted to it. anyways, good job guys, I did enjoy the interview. My comments dont go in any particular order, but, I'm a red sox fan, so, sorry, it happens.Fred Triggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980604002168881166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-79656423252273517362008-04-15T19:14:00.000-07:002008-04-15T19:14:00.000-07:00And thank you Disabled Mess, I'm glad you liked it...And thank you Disabled Mess, I'm glad you liked it.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-6389835442353661482008-04-15T19:13:00.000-07:002008-04-15T19:13:00.000-07:00Tribe girl, I have to agree.
