Rays Get Beat Again On The Road




The Tampa Bay Rays are finding living and traveling on the road can be very tough as the Kansas City Royals sent them to their seveth straight loss with a 4-2 win. The Rays are a great home team, but have struggled to win games on the road and unless that chnages they will not make the playoffs. MLB does not let you play every game at home. If they did Tampa Bay would be very tough to beat. Road wins are a must if you want to make the playoffs.

Bill Hall Saves The Day For Milwaukee




Bill Hall has been vocal about his limited playing time against left handed pitching and not being used everyday by the Milwaukee Brewers. Last night he showed why he should be playing all the time when he hit a 3 run home run in the 10th inning to give the Brewers a 6-3 win over the Cardinals in 10 innings. This pushed the Brewers into a second place tie with the Cardinals.

Jason Taylor Now A Redskin




The Miami Dolphins have traded Jason Taylor to the Washington Redskins for some draft choices. This is probably a good move for both teams. The Redskins have already lost two defensive ends to season ending injuries so they needed someone that could fill the void.

Meanwhile the Miami Dolphins are rebuilding and get two draft choices in the deal. Bill Parcells and Jason Taylor was not on the best of terms anyway so this is probably a good move for both teams. Taylor has two years left on his contract and will probably play that out.

Will The Yankees Trade For Help



The New York Yankees are still in the thick of the American league race. They have signed Richie Sexson who was cut by the Seattle Mariners and they will probably look at other ways to help their team. The New York Yankees need some more starting pitching if they hope to win the American league East.

Tampa Bay and Boston have been the cream of the crop so far, but do not overlook the New York Yankees as they will have something to say about this race as it gets to September. The trading deadline is fast approaching so we will have to see what the Yankees do.

Manny And Red Sox Going Back And Forth

It seems that Manny and the Boston Red Sox are starting their battle early as far as his 20 million dollar option. Manny tells the newspapers that he wants a meeting to see where he stands while management tells the press he will get his meeting soon enough.

If I was Manny I would just settle down and wait this thing out. The Red Sox are really the only club that will pay Manny 20 million dollars so he should just settle down and he should get his money. If he pushes the issue he may never see his money.

Steroids And Baseball

It seems no matter where we look baseball players are getting suspended for steroid use. I just read where shipments of HGH were shipped to Clemens in the past. It just gets worse for baseball. It will be a shame if that is true and Clemens was a avid user.

Baseball and Bud need to come clean with all the information they have so we know the real truth. Until we do baseball fans will always doubt someone have a great year. It is a shame, but a fact of life. It seems everyone will be a suspect until baseball is cleansed of steroids.
