And so the speculation begins.

Cue The Clash "Should I Stay Or Should I Go".

What are they saying Clydegirl ?

Boston has settled on blaming the 2 bad ump 'calls' at first base in LA...

I meant the players that are free agents.

Will they stay with the Cards or go elsewhere.

Also Tony Larussa and Dave Duncan's contracts are up.

Matt Holliday and Mark Derosa are free agents as well as Joel Pineiro.

Rick Ankiel probably took his last at bat on Saturday.

Decisions,decisions.

gosh, that didn't take long...

Read an interesting article...well most of it...in the waiting room of my doctor's an hour ago.....seems that many owners are looking at younger players now...BS!...before steroids kids...thinking that the "biggies" of today will burn out, and already have started to, well before their mid-late 30's... since they no longer use them....and the after effects

I think they might be right....

That makes a lot of sense Gary... In a decade or so the leagues will be SF... steroid free... wouldn't that be nice...

Boy this Rockies/Phillies game is exciting....

Was pulling for those Rockies...what a good game to watch...

Phillies /Dodgers you have to get them this year Gary.

I sure hope so BIG BIRD

This was in the Los Angeles Times this morning...funny stuff!

Times staff writer Bill Shaikin offers 10 reasons why America should be rooting for the Angels to beat the New York Yankees in the ALCS:

1The Yankees had their century.

2The Angels could become the first team to knock the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox out of the playoffs in the same season, ridding us of both the teams that are force-fed to America all summer.

3What do the Yankees call a $1,250 seat? Half-price.

4Torii Hunter! Say anything! Down with the bland corporate personalities of Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira!

5If the Angels and Dodgers win, how cool would it be to see Gail and Dave Weaver rooting their boys on, wearing those custom-designed, half-Angels, half-Dodgers jerseys?

6Can you imagine the disgusted looks on the faces of New Yorkers if Joe Torre gets into the World Series and the Yankees do not? Better yet: Jeff Weaver gets into the World Series and the Yankees do not.

7The Angels have the rally monkey. The Yankees have bleacher creatures.

8The Yankees charge $20 for a stadium tour. No game included.

9Biggest contracts in baseball history: 1. Rodriguez ($275 million); 2. Rodriguez ($252 million); 3. Jeter ($189 million); 4. Teixeira ($180 million); 5. CC Sabathia ($161 million).

10The Angels have won the World Series more recently than the Yankees. America loves a winner.
