clay dominates today, one of his 15-17 wins this year.

I bet all $1,000 of my vCash on the Red Sox today, so they better not let me down, or I just don't know what I'll do.

What is vCash for, anyway?

i thought it was vagina cash, i.e a hooker type payout.

none of the ladies i approached would accept it as tender.

The Astros are primed to be good for the foreseeable future. They build one of the best farm systems in the game and are just about to see the fruits of their labor.

They SHOULD have a good farm system by now. We'll see how they do in that loaded AL West

Meh. Even the best farm systems in baseball aren't guaranteed to translate into MLB success. The Indians farm system was continually ranked as one of the top three farms through the mid to late aughts, and what did that get them? One playoff appearance.

I'm not saying that it's not good to have an elite farm system, because obviously it is. I'm saying that just because a team has one doesn't mean they're going to be running things in a couple years. Prospects crap out all the time, and, even if they do pan out, youngsters are only one piece of building a sustainably successful team.

I miss Jeter

so do we.

grigorious should be funny

If all the yankees play to the back of their baseball card we will win the division

You mean going from a 111 loss team in '13 to a 92 loss team in '14? Beyond that, it doesn't seem like they've done much except change leagues.

 

[GenJac]

Remember 2 years ago when the Atlanta Braves were world series contenders, with a great line up and the best pitching staff in the league, with the best setup-closer combo? Yup that was 2 years ago, 1 collapse and failed season later, the whole team is barren of talent and the best closer in the league is gone. Sorry braves fans.
