Wow This is amazing!

PROSPECT WATCH: Top players down on the farm
Rick Ankiel, StL, OF (ETA – All-Star break) The Cardinals offense ranks 27th in the league in Runs and 21st in HRs so, after slugging three home runs on Saturday for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds, will the Cardinals be so bold as to consider Ankiel for promotion soon? A once dynamic pitching prospect that was never able to overcome a mental implosion in the 2000 postseason, Ankiel has transformed himself into a power-hitting outfielder. He is tied for the Pacific Coast League lead in HRs (19) and is also sitting on a .282 BA and 52 RBI in 57 games. At 27 years old, it seems that, if the Cardinals are serious about him as a hitter, his shot as a big league hitter has to come soon. In a year when Josh Hamilton has made major league waves, an Ankiel call-up would be just another slice of feel-good pie.


That is some talent!

Belmont Final

With the only one to vote for the girl to win Cam pulled off the Belmont in big fashion. He picked 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th almost getting every horse right. Nice work. We had four no shows on this race Grant, Chet, Nate, and Nick. I have tabulated the scores and added them to the total standings you can find those on the side.

Congratulations to Eric for winning the 2007 Triple Crown. The trifecta was enough to easily take this years championship. Dale stayed consistent to finish in second place. And Cam finished strong to pull off third.

Trophy Standings are now updated as well

Our first NHL and NBA fantasy are final!

Congrats to Josh for correctly picking Anaheim to win the Stanley Cup and thus taking the NHL trophy. Final standings are on the side.

In the NBA RC wins by putting Cleveland in the Finals. Everyone had either Dallas or Phoenix winning it all so this is final too. Standings located on the side.

Trophy standings at the bottom of the page reflect both of these sports going final. We have the Triple Crown final this weekend and the US Open next weekend so there will be more changes in the leader positions.

Lets get another Trifecta

Two firsts this week

I got my first tattoo and it was great. It didnt hurt it was a little uncomfortable at times though, but it came out just as I hoped.




And at my 15th baseball game of this year Corey Hart the right fielder of the Brewers finally showed some respect and threw me a ball. I think the entire stadium went quiet when he turned picked me out of the crowd and threw a perfect strike to me. He gets ranked second on my fav Brewers list still behind Prince.

Baseball Minute

So here are some observations and thoughts from the past week or so in MLB. I am probably alone in thinking that ARods yell to get the Blue Jays 3B to drop the ball was a great move. That is somebody that wants to win!

What are some other plays in baseball that you consider not true to the game?

How about that steal of home! Aaron Hill getting Pettitte. That was great I wish that there were more of those exciting plays during games.

Twinkies sweep the White Sox and get praised by Ozzie that is nice. Who is this AJ guy that they talk about trying to step on Morneaus ankle. Didnt we trade him for Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano, and Boof Bonser? Holy crap that could become one of the most lopsided trades of all-time. I think we can forget about the Herschel trade now.

A fantasy thought...
There are a lot better OF on the free agent list then some of the guys that are on teams.
