Baseball is awesome A. I don't know what you're talking about. lol...
I'm surprised with the NL West. Last year no team was above .500 and this year no team is below .500. It's great to see a whole league change like that. Tigers have been a huge surprise and I actually hope they can continue the success.

Sorry but I'll hate on Bonds too. There is no doubt that the guy always had the ability to hit but there's an abvious sign of something when a player averages 40 HRs a year and then smacks 73 out of the ballpark. Even being involved in the whole steroid thing really says something about the guy. I have as much respect for him as I do Jason Giambi and I'm a Yankee fan.
If any links are down, please send me a PM!

A steroid policy has been in effect since a couple of years ago and since then Bonds has never failed a test.
This year has gotten off to a great start. It's going to be really interesting to see how the playoffs turn out. I predict the Dodgers, Mets, Cards, and Astros to come out of the NL. It's going to be tough for the Dodgers because everyone in the west is playing pretty good and Astros make the playoffs if Clemens plays for them. Not really sure about the Mets because the Braves are always in the hunt but those are my predictions. Rangers, Yanks, Red Sox, and White Sox come out of the AL. It doesn't really matter though since White Sox are a better team than last year and they can handle any team in the AL. Dodgers take it in seven though.

No he didn't but we already have a thread on Bonds. Don't bring it in here.
The real story of this year is Pujols. He's tearing it up. Do you think he'll beat Bond's record for HRs in a season?

Yankees Complete 5 Game Sweep of Boston
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=260821102
I watched 4 out of the 5 games in the series and they were awesome to watch. The Yanks played great and Boston did play a couple good games in there. Everyone said the Yankees couldn't do it this year because of injuries but they have proven otherwise. Gotta love them Yankees...

I play alot of Diamond Mind Simulation baseball leagues. You draft/sign/trade guys and the computer simulates games for you using your manager line-up. It is cool because everything changes when you take players and move them around. Barry Bonds goes for like 75 HR's in Coors, while he hits 35 in PETCO. It is AWESOME.
As for MLB, I love to pay attention to the events that go on, but I often find myself wondering if what I am seeing is ligit or not. The mid 90's and early 2000's ruined this era in baseball. Bud Selig turned a blind eye to what everyone else in baseball knew was going on. And, it is completely destroying baseballs fanbase. Baseball was once America's past-time, now I think it has just passed it's time. Football seems to be taking over as the dominant sport here in the states.
