Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

It's been a rough year for Japanese players, Ishii is in the minors, Nakamura couldn't handle major league pitching, Ichiro is barely above .300, Kaz Matsui has struggled all year, except for Godzilla and Iguchi with the White Sox, everybody else is having a hard time. :banghead:

Gah, I totally forgot about this thread. Let's see, the Giants are 14 games below .500 and are only 6 games back of the Padres who are 2 games below .500. I don't know whether to be happy the Giants are still in the division hunt, or cry about the pathetic state of the NL West.

Pathetic is an understatement for the NL West. :bleh:

Giants are suckin' it worse than the Blue Crew, so they've nothing to cheer about...

Maybe they should rename the NL West to the Hoover Division... Eureka? Dyson? Oreck? :hehe: :hehe:

me thinks you missed that reference. :hehe:

Didn't that happen in the beginning of the season? April seems so far away. :mecry:

April was a long, long time ago. :puppydog:

i thought it was last year?!?
i know the t-shirt vendor was this year, but in jul, i think.

Here's a stat that would make anyone cry. The Tigers (15.5 games behind the White Sox) would be in first place in the NL West. :shakehead: :ashamed:

Isn't there one division where every team is over .500, thus the last place team in that division would lead the NL West?

That is sad. :bleh:

The Mets are last in the National League East and would be in first in the National League West.

I just happen to have today's paper handy, so the answer is the NL East, where the last place Mets are 4 games above .500.
