Okay, this is a continuation from Jason's other ZB thread about Rockies and Pirates.

Dolphy: Yeah, Yankees suck

And yeah, at least neither the Pirates or Rockies have lost 10k games. Afterall, the Rockies are pretty new compared to some, like the Yankees.

 

[dolphyfan]

What do you mean the yankees suck, did you watch sportscenter to see their 9th inning comeback yesterday. THe rockies also have one of the most underated players in the game with Todd Helton.

 

[pjk]

Yeah, I always say the Yankees suck, because I hate them. They spend so much more money than any other team, and they still can't win. The Yankees pay more to their starting pitches yearly than the entire Rockies team combined, yet the Rockies swept them. Helton is way underrated, that is obvious and has been obvious to Colorado fans since the last 1990's .

The Rockies beat the Pirates again Also, what do you guys think about the Bonds HR slump?

And by the way, check out my Todd Helton sports card collection here, it is the biggest collection in the world:

[dolphyfan]

I hate Barry Bonds and I am glad that he is on a long slump both home runs and hitting like.147 over his last 6 games and I hope he has some type of bad injury that forces him to retire and not take the home run record. Nice collection pjk other than helton cards what other cards do you have? My best cards would have to be a clemens rookie, jeter rookie, and I think i have some type of Hank Aaron card.

 

[pjk]

I have tons of others. Check out http://www.pjkcubed.com . I have about 2,000 cards not listed which are mainly just base and inserts. What brand/year of the Clemens and Jeters? Clemens best RC is a 1985 Fleer (or Fleer Ultra) and Jeters is 1993 SP.

 

[dolphyfan]

I have the same clemens card as you. I am not sure what brand the jeter card is, I have to try and find it in my collection. Just as I post the comment about bonds(barroid) he hits two HR's.

 

[pjk]

Yeah.... and the Rockies lost to the fricken Nationals in the bottom of thr 10th yesterday. They need to win the next 3.

 

[dolphyfan]

That was a bad loss, I'd have to say that the suprise of this season in the national league has been the mets. Although they are still leading the NL east the Braves are catching up and quick. Do you think the yankees could catch the Red Sox or the Indians for the wildcard?

 

[HelloiamChow]

If there were ever a time for the yankees to catch the red sox, it would be now. I looked at the schedule and NYY's next 11 games are against Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Baltimore. I don't think they will catch them though. With Beckett, Matsuzaka, Wakefield pitching tremendously, Okajima and Papelbon in the bullpen the pitching is too strong for a extended slide for the sox. And Manny and Ortiz haven't been up to their usual standards, so I expect them to go on a streak sometime soon.

Rockies won tonight

They (NYY) could... you never know. Minnesota last year was 20 back after the AS break and won the ALC in the last game of the season to pass Detroit. Anything could happen. I wouldn't be suprised to see NY pass Boston, although it is doubtful.

 

[dolphyfan]

I dont know what mike mussina was throwing yesterday. That was basicallly batting practice for the D-Rays. The yankees are 4-5 against the D-Rays this season. But the Devil rays have always played well against the yankees. The Rays are setup to be a very good team in the future with all of those young players. Do you have a fantasy team? If so what is your starting pitching?
1. Smoltz
2. Wang
3. Mussina
4.Kazmir
5. Maddux

 

[pjk]

Unfortunately, I don't have a team. I have played for probably the last 8 years, and this year, my Yahoo account someone got banned right when I signed up, so I just said screw it.

 

[dolphyfan]

The rockies lost to the Nats again, they better get it together soon. Barry Bonds will break the home run record but he wont holding it very long because of the guy in the video below. Check out the link.

The Rockies ended up blowing the Nationals series, but then beat the Padres 2 out of 3, and will now face the Dodgers. If they can do well again them, they will be right up there for the top of the division.

 

[dolphyfan]

The reason why the rockies arent in the running for their division is because they are like five games under .500 on the road. You have to be at least .500 on the road. Also I think the yankees can catch the red sox because, one they are the yankees, and two their schedule for the second half is much easier than the red sox.

 

[pjk]

I bet the Rockies will take thier division or wild card. And Arod will break the HR record I think, yes. Rockies need to beat the Dodgers now.

 

[dolphyfan]

I think the rockies will take the wild card. Have you seen the way the mets have been playing pretty bad. The phillies are only 4 back.

 

[pjk]

Rockies win They won the series against the Dodgers, so they are 3.5 games back now. Check it out here.... this is one competitive division:

[apoplectic]

id like thr reds to win their division but since theyre 13 1/2 games behind,thats going to be kinda tricky.funny that the team with the most homeruns are doing this badly,but they've been winning more lately so all hope isnt lost.

 

[dolphyfan]

How about teixara getting dealt to the braves I believe. If anything I thiught Eric Gagne would be dealt before Mark Teixara. Do you guys watch any other sports other than baseball?
