Adam Jones, HR Derby????

I heard today that Adam Jones wanted to participate in the Home Run derby.

And I say why not. I think he's much better then Brandon Inge or Nelson Cruz and right up there Joe Mauer. It 'd be a great chance for him to show off his skills on the national stage.

We know he can hit homers, but I think if he chose to be an "upper-cutter" like Prince Fielder he could put 30 or 40 homers a year, although the think he could do that this year.

I can't see why Major League Baseball wouldn't let him in, they're on their hands and knees begging for participants, why not let Adam Jones in?

What do you think?

VOTE FOR IAN!

Lats night Ian was roobed of his rightful place an An All-Star, instead he part of the final vote. Just a week or so ago he was leading but now all the sudden he's not guranteed a spot on the roster.

MUTINY!

 

HOW CAN JOE MADDON NOT PUT HIM ON THE TEAM???? Instead he goes with Ben Zobrist???? Ian is much better then Ben Zorbist no doubt about it.  

So please vote for Ian.

Brad Bergesen, The Kid No One Knows About

Meet Brad Bergesen. Pitcher, Baltimore Orioles. 6' 2" 125 pounds. But theres so much more that most people don't know about him.

Right now Brad is the Orioles ace and among the most promising pitchers in all of the majors. Yesterday most of Red Sox Nation got aquainted to him. However because of the Sox's comeback no one was talking about him. And this makes me angry.

No one realized how good he was. He's going to be a kid people will be talking about. If he was playing for a big market team he'd be a household name. But since he plays for The O's no one is talking about him.

He is the pitching equvilant of
