Shutting Down

I've had enough. Picking baseball is clearly not my thing. Basketball is my game not baseball. So, I'm hanging em up. I might come back and pick again closer to basketball season. Who knows? It's just not worth the effort to get most of the games wrong. If anyone is interested in taking over the name, I would be happy to turn it over. Just shoot me an email, or leave a comment. Holla.

All-Star Break

Enjoy the day off, Major League Baseball.

Derby Results, All-Star Picks

Well, Tex wasn't as hot as I hoped, but how 'bout that derby? One of the best I can remember. Man, Abreu was killing the ball in the first round. 517 Ft.......... unbelievable.

I'll take the AL in the game tomorrow. They haven't lost in five years, so why stop now? Enjoy the game.

Home Run Derby Pick

Hooray, it's the all-star break. I don't have to embarass myself by picking baseball for a few days. Just for fun I'll pick the home run derby and then the main event on Tuesday.

I'll take Mark Teixeira to win the derby. He's been creaming the ball the past few games.
