Doubters and Naysayers: Jon Lester Invites You to Go F@#k Yourselves* A couple months back, while waiting to get a haircut, I found ESPN the Magazine's 2008 baseball preview stuck between the random copies of Men's Health and The Lynn Jones.Guide to Grooming. So I leaned back in ESPN the Chair, took a deep breath of ESPN the Oxygen, and thumbed over to the Red Sox section. There I read this.".Jon Lester is a back-of-the-rotation guy.".says an AL scout.".If he was the difference between getting Johan Santana or not, [the Red Sox] made a mistake.".At the time. Tickets.

Phillies Phlashback Phriday: Ten Years Later 1998, the year Corey and I graduated high school, the year the Philadelphia Phillies finished a dismal 75-87. At the helm was current BoSox manager Terry Francona. Although it was only 10 seasons ago, there are only 6 players still active in MLB (Scott Rolen, Bobby Abreu, Marlon Anderson, Gary Bennett, Paul Byrd, and Curt Schilling). Take a stroll down memory lane with me now as we gaze into the Phils team of 1998. Lineup: Catcher- Recently retired Mike Lieberthal split time behind the plate. Cheap Santana Tickets.

Pre-Flight Rumor: All the tea for CC Concerts, If this is true, the Brewers are going to get absolutely FLEECED. The Milwaukee Brewers are serious about trading for Indians left-hander C.C. Sabathia ? more serious, perhaps, than any other club. The Brewers' offer for Sabathia includes Class AA left fielder Matt LaPorta, according to sources with two other clubs that are interested in acquiring the pitcher. Class AA shortstop Alcides Escobar also may be in the Brewers' proposed deal, one of the sources says. This would be a complete disaster.

Enter Cliche Fireworks Reference Here Yeah, like this was a picture you didn't see coming. Before we get to what was good about last night's 11-1 thumping, don't you find it ironic that after seven innings of our announce crew (mostly Keith) fawning over how great Cardinals fans were, that it was a Mets fan in Busch II that brought nachos to the booth after Keith and Gary were pining for them? Think about it, a Met fan at home in New York had to call his friend in St. Louis (long distance), and tell him to go wait on line (and most. Santana.

PeerGynt Lobogris - The BlueMoon series PeerGynt Lobogris - The BlueMoon series Genre: Metal, Rock, New Age, Progressive Rock PeerGynt Lobogris may be one of the most prolific artists to place his music on Jamendo. The Spanish guitarist and composer has no less than 25 online albums freely available. I have listened to most of these and found them to be well played examples of rock guitar mixed with imaginative arrangements bordering on progressive rock and new age. The most interesting ones are on the BlueMoon series of six albums. MGM Grand Garden Arena (End Stage).

The Halfway Point Las Vegas, Last Saturday, the Twins played their 81st game of the season, a 5-1 loss to the Brewers. This marked the official halfway point of the 2008 campaign. Over the first half of the season, the Twins went 44-37, an improvement over last year's mark of 42-39. Today, we take a look at how this year's team performed through 81 games.

Mets Game 85: Win Over Cardinals Mets 11 Cardinals 1 Win. Lohse. Win. Lose. Win. If the Mets keep up this pace, they might just win 80 games. As expected, the 50/50 Mets beat the Cardinals in the final game of their four-game series. Actually, they didn't just beat them ? they pounded, battered, and fried the Redbirds. The Mets jumped out to a three-run lead in the initial inning, scoring runs unspectacularly but scoring them nonetheless. An infield single by Damion Easley and two walks loaded the bases for Carlos Delgado. NV.

MLB musings How are the Tampa Bay Rays in first place? A 33-13 record at home helps. Throwing Edwin Jackson, Scott Kazmir, Andy Sonnanstine, Matt Garza and James Shields also helps. A total of 30 wins between them. The Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia has 24 hits in his last 10 games. Average up nearly 40 points. As good as Orlando Cabrera is offensively and defensively, how come he can't stick with a team? Rumors are the White Sox won't re-sign him. John Danks allowed 28 homers in 139 innings last year.
