what if Ken Griffey gets hurt while having sex with Jenna Jameson? DOUBLE THE FUN!

Uh, with the standings you posted, the Astros are behind the Reds and infront of the Pirates. Thus "fighting off the Pirates", moron. I didn't say anything about how close or far away they were. As for the rest of your post:
You Assstro's fans have been saying that all year. I'm tired of it. Get lost.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Guess what everyone..as of now all of our teams suck except for the Cards.
We all need to stop talking shit about our teams till they actually start playing better,its fucking pointless.

Amazing stat, Brewers closer Dan Kolb had not given up an extra base hit in 33 innings pitched on the year. Of course the announcers jinxed him because he gave up his first two homers of the year back to back but I couldn't believe it. The guy was released by the Rangers last year for god sakes!
Reds outfielder Willie Mo Pena is going to be a beast in a couple years. The kid has been in the majors the last two season because of his contract while he should have been in AA playing everday and has had to learn the ropes in limited ABs. Now that he is playing because everyone hurt he's showing why he was so highly touted. Hit two homers today. A couple weeks ago in Cleveland he hit a ball foul that the Indians announcers said was the farthest they've ever seen a ball hit there.
If the Reds can find a taker for Griffey and his contract they'd have a very cheap and good outfield in Kearns, Dunn, and Pena for years.

How did Beltran get picked over Dunn? Not only is Beltran a 16 day vet to the NL he has lower OPS and HRs. And he's 2 years older, DUNNS THE YOUNGER STUD! Not to mention Dunn could take Griffey's spot in the derby and put on a show.

The Cubs are finally showing some life here, but for GOD's SAKES DON"T LET THE CARDINALS WIN THE CENTRAL DIVISION!!! If Prior and Wood can't stop having pitch counts over a hundred every time the fifth inning comes around, and Baker doesn't stop fucking up matchups and everyone doesn't get healthy, GO ASTROS, REDS, and BREWERS!!!! Damn the redbirds to hell.
The last few games Koch has been pitching pretty decent. Yesterday was the first time he brought in as a setup guy for the closer. He's only been in games when the Marlins were losing, until yesterday. Hopefully he'll be a nice setup man for Benitez. Either way, I'm still crossing my fingers every time he takes the mound.
All right feeling good going into the All Star Break. The win in St. Louis was big for a couple reasons:
1) We got Kerry Wood back and he looks in tip top shape. He looked like he lost some weight. He was on with his curveball which means he is gonna be ultra deadly
2) We couldn't fall back any further than we have been in the division.
3) The game last night was a statement game. St. Louis is probably feeling very well, and deservedly so, but with our ace back last night it fired up the team and we slapped around the Cards.
I listened to one of the Cardinals beat writers on the Chicago radio station this morning. He mentioned how the Cards are happy they only have two games with the Cubs left. He knows, and the Cards know, that the Cubbies are close to getting healthy and the Cards expect the Cubs to make a huge run in the 2nd half. So do I. Once we get Ramirez and Hollandsworth back we should be sitting pretty well. Here a couple 2nd half predictions:
1) The cards are gonna fall into a big slump. They have been playing over their heads the entire year. Especially that pitching staff. If Rolen keeps on having the problems he is having and they get worse the cards will be in big trouble. They still have a big enough lead where they should win the wild card. Which leads me to my next point...
2) The Cubs are going to win the Central Division. Sometime after the all star break, I have a feeling the Cubs are going to go on a huge tear. Maybe a week. Maybe two. Maybe right after. They will have streak where they win close to 18 out of 20 games. Then they'll be back in the division and pull away in September! World Series trophy in 2004, I await thee!
3) Jimmy Willaims is going to get fired from the Astros. But not before he has permanently damaged the team for the year. I foresee them doing well enough to not trade Beltran by the trading deadline, and then tanking so they get no value out of him as he jumps ship (TO THE CUBS PLEEASE) after the year is over.
4) Reds have been overachieving as well. They have too many injuries and their staff isn't good enough to sustain a winning record all year. They will finish with about 75 wins.
5) The Milwaukee Brewers have been playing great ball all year, and I predict they will continue to do so throughout the rest of the season. They have a great chance to finish near or just over .500, which would be a great improvement for this team. I see them finishing 3rd this year in the division.
6) The Pirates are just bad. They will stay bad too since the division is too competitive for them to get any breathing room. They will be battling Houston and Cincy for the cellar dweller title.

The Brewers have a pathetic offense. The Reds without Griffey, Casey, or Kearns went up there and took 3/4. No way they finish ahead of the Reds unless the Reds trade everyone off like last season.
How is winning the finale of a series to avoid getting swept a statement? A statement would have been actually winning the series.

I called the Cards winning that division after 40 some games when they were in second. I kick ass.
Cubs may get the wild card, but not the division.
All it takes is Wood or even Prior to reaggravate their injury and it's over. You know within 3 weeks Dusty will be back to overworking all his starters. Within 4 more starts he'll have Wood throwing 130 pitches.

I like how they're talking to all these old timers instead of calling the home runs. Palmiero gets more than anyone, while Berman and Morgan just sit there talking to Mr. "I give you a headache when I talk" Frank Robinson.
Shut up and call the home runs. You wanna talk with Bonds, fine. But don't talk meaningless crap every single time someone is hitting. Jesus.
