Crossing my fingers that my cousin (Jason Donald) gets back to the Indians- rehabbing an injury- with AAA Columbus right now.

Classic example of why Tony LaRussa shouldn't be managing a team.

Yes he is the best in the game at this moment, although he is having his worst year ever, it just makes me sick to think that the salary escalation will never end in sports. I would like to see the guys who's dream of playing in the big leagues that are career minor league players have something to fall back on when their playing days are over.

Don't blame the player. You would fight for the largest contract too.

Things aren't going Ricky Romero's way.  His past 7 losses, he's only had 8 runs of support total.  Jays lost to the Braves last night 2-0.  To top it off, their runs were scored of a Tim Hudson homerun.  You read that right.  Tim Hudson the pitcher .  He had a heck of a game.

*sighs* Another lose to the Tribe. I was hoping that we might get out of this series above .500

Konerko is also putting up good average and power numbers, though his team is currently 5 below .500.  Then in the NL you've got Pujols, Fielder, Votto, Howard (despite a low AVG), and Sanchez putting up decent numbers.  I have no evidence to support this, but I'd guess most of the notable all star snubs annually are first basemen.
