Cool news for Adam Jones. Only reason I even know he existed this whole time is because of my baseball game. I always trade for him because he's so young then watch him go up and up
I don't actually think the Yankees are going to come back, infact I hope Cleveland goes to the playoffs... but everyone counted them out last year too and Boston got to play with themselves in October instead.
I hope the Astros pull their second half miracle as usual and make the playoffs obviously. With the Brewers in the driving seat it doesn't seem that impossible, because I keep waiting for them to stumble. I mean come on... they're the brewers!
I also don't think you're giving Ichiro enough credit, though the fanboism here after the inside the parker last night is rampant. He knows where to put the ball a lot and he's not that amazingly wtf fast that he can just bunt or ground to the SS everytime. Taveras last year was fucking ridiculously fast and hit around 300. Nook Logan I think was the fastest player in baseball last year and I think he's back in the minors. Ichiro is hitting 359 right now and has a lifetime batting average of .333
