Felix was pronounced the Cy Young winner after his first 2 dominating starts. He got hurt the start after that, and after a couple solid outings, he struggled, with his ERA raising from 2.87 to 4.58 in the span of 4 starts. His last start he was filthy, albeit against Pittsburgh, going 8 shutout innings and striking out 9, walking one. Here's the thing: The only really good outing he had against a good offensive team was Boston. His other good starts were against: Oakland, San Diego, Kansas City, San Diego and Pittsburgh. We can beat him. Do it.

Just win. Maybe?

Well...did you think Beckett was 30? And seriously on the Clemens comment...the f***?

Per Rotoworld

Rumors are really heating up, and the stars are aligning for this trade to go down: -Schilling is hurt -Tavarez could be hurt -Lester hasn't been good in AAA recently. -The White Sox are done, and Kenny Williams never denied this trade.

David McCarty laughs at Putz. (Remember the walkoff homer?) Arghhh...the camera angle made that hit look like it was into the outfield, then Lopez snares it. Nada.

Get a hit JD.

That was fun. Score some f***ing runs.

Awesome Snyder. 6-2.

f***, walks in a run. 5-2 Mariners.

1 strike away from escaping this hell of a 5th inning.

Lowell pop up, shoulda got more.

Youk walks, sacks full for Mikey Lowell. Make em pay Deuce.

Seriously. His VORP is -10.1. Thats absolutely terrible. Nobody else is even close to that.

Whats the question? Manny K's.

Aiiight, 2-1 Sox.

That little more would happen to be Al Jefferson. It's a no no in my opinion.

Thank god, Celtics pull out of the potential 4 way deal. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/46690/20070625/celtics_pull_out_of_four_way_kg_deal/

Santana isn't a FA at the end of the year. Care to elaborate on why you think Buehrle won't do well in Fenway? In 4 games at Fenway he is 3-1 with a 3.49 ERA. Granted he has 12 K and 11 walks, but that has nothing to do with Fenway.

We must pound Weaver.

National League Pitchers: SP-Jake Peavy-Wasn't great Sunday but still having a great year. Other starters: Brad Penny-2.12 ERA, just behind Peavy in VORP with 37.3. Ian Snell-Big surprise here, 2.63 ERA, 7.34 K/9. Tom Gorzelanny-What the f***? 2 Pirates pitchers? 3.01 ERA, 28.1 VORP. Jeff Francis-26.4 VORP, 3.44 ERA. In Colorado. John Maine-Has not pitched as much as others. 2.90 ERA still, 7.45 K/9, 26 VORP. Ben Sheets-3.19 ERA, 1.17 WHIP. Hasn't had as many strikeouts as usually, but at least he's playing. Chris Young-I gotta give him the last starting spot. He killed the Sox, and he's got a 2.26 ERA, 7.53 K/9, 24.9 WHIP. Yeah, I guess he is good. Relievers: Francisco Cordero-NL leader in saves with 27, and has a 2.30 ERA. Takashi Saito-40 strikeouts, 3 walks. Wow. Jason Isringhausen-After his job being threatened by Wainwright in the playoffs, he comes back with a 1.5 ERA, 14 saves.

The American League Pitchers: SP-Dan Haren-He's dominating this year. 1.78 ERA. The .218 BABIP tells me the numbers will definitely get worse, but that's not the point of the all star game. Other starters: Johan Santana-9.35 K/9, along with a 2.91 ERA. Josh Beckett-He dominated today, and he has been the ace of the staff. On pace for 22 wins. Jeremy Guthrie-The kid that dominated us on the Mother's Day miracle has been no fluke, with a 2.42 ERA and 6.50 H/9 Justin Verlander-No sophomore slump for this ace. John Lackey-2.96 ERA, 26.8 VORP. James Shields-VERY few walks, only 1.57 BB/9. 7.37 K/9 and a 3.64 ERA. CC Sabathia-3.34 ERA, 7.94 K/9, already 100 K. Relievers: JJ Putz-1.07 ERA, .62 WHIP, 21 saves. Filth. Jonathan Papelbon-Has had some walk issues, but still another great year. Francisco Rodriguez-AL leader in saves, with a 2.23 ERA.

Here's my National League hitters (I'll do both league's pitchers later): C-Russell Martin-How does he have 12 steals? Anyways, the NL catching class is pretty weak. Martin has had a good year though. Backup C-Bengie Molina-After Martin, the NL catching class is terrible. Molina has been decent this year. 1B-Prince Fielder-Pounding the ball. Backup 1B-Derrek Lee-.354 average. Whiffed at Chris Young though. 2B-Chase Utley-Best 2B in baseball producing again. Backup 2B-Orlando Hudson-I love the O Dawg. 3B-Miguel Cabrera-Uhh yeah. He's ridiculous. Backup 3B-Chipper Jones-Was hurt for a bit, still has very good numbers. SS-Jose Reyes-38 steals??? Backup SS-Hanley Ramirez-He also could have been our SS. OF1-Matt Holliday-Hitting .358, 1.008 OPS. OF2-Barry Bonds-Amidst all of the controversy, is actually having a good year. Can't have an ASG in SF without Barry. OF3-Aaron Rowand-When not hurting himself, he is hitting .315 with 10 HR and 39 RBI. Backup OF-Eric Byrnes-Same as Rowand, but hitting .318, .884 OPS, 14 SB. Backup OF-Hunter Pence-The rook is producing, .348 AVG, OPS over .950. Backup OF-Ken Griffey Jr.-21 homers, just passed Mark McGwire. My lineup: Reyes Utley Cabrera Holliday Fielder Bonds Martin Rowand SP

I'm just gonna do my whole team: AL: C-Jorge Posada-He's been outstanding this year, with a .339 AVG, .945 OPS and 32.0 VORP. Backup C-Victor Martinez-One of the best young catchers in the game, and having another exceptional season. 1B-David Ortiz-I really don't think there's much competition here. Backup 1B-Carlos Pena-The Northeastern kid has really come into his own this year with Tampa Bay. 2B-Brian Roberts-Hitting .314, stolen 23 bases, .813 OPS. Backup 2B-BJ Upton-Agree with Thumper here. He's been raking so far. SS-Derek Jeter-Another great season. Backup SS-Orlando Cabrera-I'm so glad we got rid of him. .340 average, just a great year. 3B-Alex Rodriguez-Enough said. Backup 3B-Troy Glaus-He's a way's away from Rod, but he still has an OPS over .900 OF1-Magglio Ordonez-MVP type season like Rodriguez. OF2-Ichiro Suzuki-Having another very good year. .358 average. OF3-Vladimir Guerrero-Tearing the ball this year. Backup OF-Grady Sizemore-22 steals, 12 homers, 62 runs. Backup OF-Curtis Granderson-13 f***ing triples. Backup OF-Torii Hunter-I have 3 centerfielders in my backups, but they're all deserving. Hunter is having a very nice contract year. My lineup: Suzuki Jeter Rodriguez Ordonez Guerrero Ortiz Posada Roberts SP NL next.

Kid was FILTHY today. 7 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 8 K, 2 walks. Got a no decision.
