Good news. I'll see the Crew twice in the next two weeks. Making another foray to Chicago's North Side again, looking for apartments, will stop by Wrigley in the third inning to get cheap seats. Then on to Milwaukee to visit family on the 4th, and to see a game at Miller Park. Yesssss.

Midseason prediction: Cardinals v. Detroit in the World Series. I'll say Ozzie Guillen loses his **** before the end of the season, giving the Tigers the AL advantage.

Yup. Having just finished the 20th grade, sadly it is time to leave school behind and slave for the man, eternally.

But I am psyched about returning to civilization, you know, to a real city, that has STUFF, like good bands and crime.

I gotta say...Willie Randolph really screwed up tonight. He left a rookie pitcher in wayyyyy too long and embarrassed the team. It was pointless. I predict the mets will soon start to falter

The Mets are slumping, but they have a huge lead. It will take a major collapse for them to drop out of first. The Braves have shown signs of life, but Chipper's injured (again) and the bullpen is beyond redemption...

his original first choice outta the pen was oliver, who was unavailable because he's filling for a sore-hipped pedro tonight.

but i agree -- soler looked like a deer caught in the headlights last night.
they should dump him, or trade for another pitcher.

even jose lima competed better than that..

even if they do, they're still the cream of the crap in the NL Least!

Soler is a rookie...right off the raft.Randolph needs to baby him...not leave him in to get bombed
Also, soler needs to learn defense

i got me a hunch -- roger clemens will be in a red sawx uniform by next week...

No way in hell.

he didn't unretire to play for a mediocre, weak-hitting team.
the astros suck, and to date haven't tried to improve (unless you count aubrey huff... i sure don't).

miguel tejeda was mentioned as a possible acquisition, but the astros GM doesn't want him.

i can't see a shoe-in hall of famer -- one who's making ridiculous $$ at age 44 -- playing out the string, losing games 2-0 because his team can't hit for ****.

it doesn't make sense for him to stay put.
by next monday, he'll either be wearing red sawx or blue pinstripes...

It may not make sense to HIM to play for a team that's not going to win, but what are the Red Sox going to give up to rent him for the season's remainder? They're not going to "mortgage the farm," as Theo's already said. It would be stupid to trade prospects for Clemens for less than half the season.

don't you think epstein wants a 3rd reliable starter for the stretch run?
if he doesn't then he must be on crack!

they could dump the bullpen baggage (tavarez and seanez), an outfielder (nixon or pena), maybe throw in a prospect (pedroia?), and ca$h.

clemen's next start is sunday -- the day before the deadline...

Nobody's even mentioning Clemen's name for any trade rumors, at least certainly not within Boston's media. I highly doubt Houston's going to trade him, and I would think one of Roger's stipulations about finishing his career there was that he didn't want to be traded. But who knows.
