Just relaxing all day watching MLB, thought I'd share my thoughts.
5 players that were once relevant are so over the hill now and need to retire started today.
Paul Konerko: Bat speed now slow as a turtle.
Barry Zito: Once relevant, now a hamburger.
Lance Berkman: See Paul Konerko
DiceK: Was her ever relevant?
Jason Giambi: Got the start at DH, now an automatic out.
Observations:
Just finished watching the Oakland A's game: That team has a lot of fun playing, easy team to like.
Texas Rangers: Makes way to many boneheaded mistakes to be taken seriously.
Wainwright and Kershaw: Not as automatic as everybody thinks.
Nick Markakis: Makes 15 million dollars this season. Leads the league in singles. I love his glove in RF, but that's a crap load of money for a guy that hits singles.
The Astros hosted the Twins in Houston today and nobody gave a crap
Questions?
Does Oakland have enough pitching to do any October damage? They play sound baseball, Money Ball is working out there, but pitching wins.
Does Boston have enough pitching to do any October damage?
Will Detroit's bullpen doom them in October?
