Ummm, no Bill.  I am not a Mariners fan.  I think this allows me to see the

Yawn...Only 12?  (12 isn't quite as momentous for us Ranger fans.  We see
lots of 12-10, 13-9 games...)

>  Eight runs in the first two Innings!

It took y'all two innings?  Against Yankee pitching?

Is it just me, or does everyone think that Blue Jays fans are getting a
little cocky this year?  (No, are they?)  It's not like they won the World
Series or even the AL Championship.  In fact, they only won their division
in the last few games.  And what is the difference between this year and
last year?  Jack Morris, Dave Winfield, and an injured Tom Henke.  Morris
will make a legitimate contribution, but if you look at Morris's numbers
compared to Viola's (Boston), they're pretty similar.  Their lifetime ERA
is almost identical.  Morris gives up fewer hits, but more walks.  Viola
had a worse last year, but he's also 5 years younger.  I think they'll make
similar contributions.  As for Dave Winfield,  I'm a huge fan of his, but
I'm afraid that his age has finally caught up with him.  And Tom Henke (ok,
he's not new...I meant his injury was new), he may or may not be able to
pitch like he did last year.  But if he can't, the bullpen isn't gonna look
as good with all the extra innings that Ward's gonna get.

All in all, I don't see the Blue Jays improving more than the Red Sox, and
they were pretty much tied up all last season.  Baltimore is a much
improved team, and Detroit and New York could surprise you with their
offense.  Milwaukee also has a pretty nice looking lineup, if the veterans
can squeeze out another good year.  And Cleveland will win more games than
people expect.  Although I pick Toronto for the AL East, I can't see them
running away with it.  The Blue Jays are only an injury away from second or
third place, and anything can happen over the course of a season.

I totally agree. It is one thing to say that maybe the starters should
not be automatically pulled after 100 pitches, but it is quite another
to let the bullpen rust.

We also know from past experience that Henke and Ward need work to stay
sharp.

My guess would be that it has never been the case in baseball, ever,
that between two players with such dissimilar offensive stats as AG
and TF, that the one with the poorer stats "commands a lot more respect
from his peers."  The old saying in baseball is "you're only as smart
as your batting average."  

(Also, of course, Griffin has been the SS for one count them one

if Griffin has any gold gloves, Fernandez has at least one, and probably
the better rep....)

Didn't the 87 (?) Brewers start 13-0? And didn't the end of the year
feature the Jays gagging to the Tigers? Even in 84, when the Tigers
started out 35-5, the Jays weren't that far back at the end.

Well, I have to agree that the hockey playoff scenario is horrible.
But one thing I like about the MLB is that you finish first or you
finish nowhere. Life may not be fair, but I think that is.  Look what
happens in hockey, where the regular season is truly meaningless, and
the playoffs are even called "the second season".  What's the point of
the first season?  Hockey fans (including myself) are nuts for putting
up with it.

You mean 162 games is not enough exciting ball? A division race is not
much more exciting than "when will the Leafs be eliminated from the
playoffs"? Sorry, but I think an extra round of playoffs would push me
over the edge. All that greed....

(Please use carriage returns.)

Now, be fair, if you're going to count *every* single one of Ryan's
wins, that means that you're saying offense *never* wins games.  (And
who gets credit for Ryan's 278 losses?  Besides Enos Cabell, I mean.)

     Yeah, but at least you didn't compare him to Rob Deer.
     And, isn't it weird that, after the Elias Analyst of 1991 figures that
Maris might have hit something like .198 with 40 homers without Mantle behind
him, and calls this type of season "impossible," Mark McGwire and Rob Deer
come close to *doing* it?  That was an interesting article on the '61 Yankees;
they finally say Maris' season would have probably been more like .240, with
40-45 homers, which has been done by the likes of Dave Kingman.  Still, Rob
Deer has to be the worst all-or-nothing swinger in history.  Or do you think
there is someone worse?  What is Deer's lifetime average and home run total?

  The Rangers won the first game against the Mariners  12-10
  They won the second (Brown pitching)  4-0
  They wone the third (Guzman pitching)  13-1

  No, the pitching has actually looked good in the second and third games.
  Kevin Brown had a complete game shutout, and Guzman went 6 innings giving
  up 3 hits and one RBI. More importantly, Wayne Rosenthal and Terry Mattews
  pitched 3 innings without giving up any runs !!

  So for the first time in a long long time, the team ERA is 3.00 !!

  Touchwood,... we will see how long this lasts.

  Hitting is another thing altogether. I just cant keep track of what is
  going on. Palmeiro was 3 for 3 yesterday. Palmer has one dinger each in
  each of the 3 games. Even Cangelosi had a homer yesterday. So far, it is
  29 runs in 3 games. And Franco is not even in the line-up.

  GO RANGERS !

They've only won 23 Cups.
Oh, sorry.  I understand now - you were counting 1992 and 1993

Well holly cow even I a wonderfully devoted Yankees fan couldn't have 
prediced this.  The yankees offense has always been present but the pitching
and the defense WOW is all I can say.  How awesome.  Well we will see how they
do tonight against the Jays.  Does anyone know where they are playing.

      I'm not sure about baseball, but I can tell you that I was at the
      Redskins-Falcons playoff game when they gave out Mobil Oil seat cushions
      to all the fans.  When the Skins scored their last TD one person threw
      theirs out on the field.  About 3 seconds later it was raining seat
      cushions.  The Redskins didn't even draw a penalty.
