Hey, ESPN has this poll of all time Team's Blunders. You just basically vote for the worst blunder made for each team in their history. Here's the link.

Melky + Cano + Wang = Steinbrenner is a moron. The Yankees' farm system is one of the best out there, they should have been taking advantage of this...
Also, my GAF OT Fantasy league pitching decided to tank completely. Benson, K-Rod, and Wakefield have all gotten smoked in the last 24 hours.

Back from the game. I was so dissapointed not to get the sweep, I can't hate on the offense as everyone did well except for Wells who went 0 for 5. Towers sucked pretty bad, Downs syndrome was pretty good, Rosario was alright but struggled a little, Frasor sucked, Speier sucked, and Taubenheim was alright and probably could have gone for another inning but I think he will start a game in Chicago. Looks like Towers has pitched his last game for the Jays. I am pretty sure Taubenheim will take his spot. Our bullpen was pretty damn bad today, Schoenweiss should only pitch against leftys, I really dont know what is wrong with Frasor and Speier was lights out earlier this year but has struggled this week. And Hill is back, he is was 3 for 3 with a walk and is now hitting .240 which is a 50 point increase in almost two weeks. Fuck trading Shea for Kennedy, we need pitching.
The pitching staff until Burnett comes back should be:
Halladay
Chacin
Janssen
Lilly
Taubenheim

Don't forget Matt Clement. He deserves all the laughs you can muster. Hopefully he mysteriously lands on the DL in the near future, opening the door for LIMA TIME in Boston baby!!

The three games in Chicago showed every ugly side of the A's from the past 5 years or so:
Game one: spot pitcher an early lead, pitcher does well, bullpen blows it. A's threaten and keep it close to keep the fans' hopes alive, then crash and burn
Game two: some piece of shit 5th (or in this case, 7th) guy in the rotation gets lit up early. A's have a good rally or two, but in the end roll over so they can hit the showers early.
Game three: pitcher looks good, has a quality outing. Offense never gets out the door, however, and cannot pick up a single clutch hit to save their lives, despite getting several breaks in their favor.
Just sucks to be a Choakland fan sometimes...Man I want Harden back

I don't think poor Jose would even be able to make it out of the ballpark safely after a patented 10 ER allowed start.
Some observations:
To the Cubs: Can you stop being losers long enough to let Maddux get to 324?! In April he was 5-0. In May, he's 0-4. I mean, Don Sutton got his hair specially permed today, just in case Maddux won so he could celebrate the event. For your own pride, for history and for Don's hair, Cubs...help Maddux win!
After watching tonight's Braves/Padres game, does anyone want to make a wager that Mike Piazza couldn't throw out a crippled sloth?

Great win for us, even if it was ugly. 2 outta 3, half game out, Schilling saying we're decimated, gotta kick us when we're down, blah blah. Love it. My favorite part of the series?
Mo brushing back Manny last night (finally). That was just awesome. Mo is a god. Even better was the emotion he showed--actually that the entire dugout showed. We wanted it bad last night and I love us shaking off that business demeanor and showing passion.
I'm sure all the Bosox fans loved Jeter's play at the end as well.

watch the yankees not sweep the royals though....
Eminem said:
The major difference is Florida can somewhat sustain itself from within. In a couple of years they'll most likely be a semi-respectable team. Meanwhile, the Royals will still be chugging along, running out a team of retreads and failed prospects.
I will be absolutely amazed if this years' Royals team does not break the `62 Mets' record of 120 losses. There is no hope in Kansas City.

Here's what I don't get about the Royals: They've been bad for so long yet they still have no farm system of mention. HOW CAN YOU LOSE FOR SO LONG AND HAVE NO PROSPECTS??? Who's drafting here? I don't get it ... All I remember is Beltran, Febles, Greinke annd Affeldt. Who else?
