Of all the reputations to have around here, though, I guess it’s not the worst I’ve seen.

My story
In 2003, I was an Expos fan when there was talk about Vladimir Guerrero possibly signing with the Orioles, I went over to an Orioles board to talk about it. I stayed around to discuss the angle about relocation dealing with Peter Angelos’ opposition to a team in DC. Starting in December of 2004, Ponson got himself involved in several off the field problems and he began being attacked on the Orioles board. I felt that a lot of the criticism was very mean spirited, so I started defending him. After he got cut by the Orioles, he went to St. Louis in 2006 and I followed him, going to a Cardinals board, and I’ve continued to follow the Cardinals even after he got cut by them. He was briefly a Yankee, then was out of baseball until the Twins signed him last year. He didn’t last through May with them before being DFA’d again. Now that he’s a Ranger, I’ve been lurking here. I posted a pic of me and Sidney in Seattle earlier.

Lee in the AL and Webb in the NL. Still a ways to go, but those two look amazing right now.

I forgot about EV...
he would have to be in the discussion, but I don’t think anyone believes he will keep doing what he’s doing right now.
Webb on the other hand, has shown that he can maintain what he is doing now. Although I don’t expect him to go 29-0 either.

But 23-24 wins is easily attainable. He’s been my favorite pitcher in baseball since he came up, and he’s really not doing anything now that he hasn’t been doing for the past 5 or so years.

not sure about “easily”, but I could see him going 23/24 – 5/6 with a sub 3.00 ERA and a WHIP of 1.1 or so. The guy is that good.

Great game...
Hamslam now has 2 more RBI this year (49) than he had all last year (47). It may be a overrated stat, but that is still pretty cool.
MY with a clutch hit and then actually pulled a ball for a HR. Salty hit a bomb. Kinsler with 3 BB’s and a triple. Even Murphy and Shelton went deep. Jack also had a very nice inning. We really need him (and BGL) to pitch well out of the pen.
