RAIN DELAY DEBATE (if there IS one...): Geo locked up the NL ROY last night...

I have a hard time believing anyone else can beat him out unless he has a horrid September- and give his PCL MVP recognition last year, he would seem to have the "consistency" side of the equation worked out pretty well.

Hard to believe earlier this season he had that run of consecutive at bats where he struck out.

Was it five (in one game)? More over two?

well in that case...

Geo struck out 8 straight times over 4/25-26. However, Zambrano and the bullpen combined on a shutout on the 26th, prompting Geo to remark that he could care less about striking out 5 times in a game since the pitchers threw well and the team won.

That’s when they turned the corner, IMHO.

You cannot expect DeRosa to make that catch everytime....

I don’t blame him for diving…but I would have rather seen him take a deeper route and concede the hit.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Time to

Jump. Or do it after the inning, I don’t really care.

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg

Is there a new thread? Or is no one talking because this game is better than expected from Marquis and Duke?
