This week in Sports Options

[DoubleJ]

I am going to start something called this week in sports, just because I can.


Rules:

Post something that you felt was noteworthy in sports.
You MUST know what the f**k you are talking about, and have the facts/links to back it up, just in case people call you out.
I will do baseball, and I will leave the rest up to the others, as I am sure that others will want to talk about Basketball (Tung) or Hockey(Teesa).


DOUBLE POSTING IS ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD!

TWIB:

What was with all of the extra inning games this week?
10 in one week is very rare, but how about that Rockies vs. Padres game that went 22 eh? Teesa did you watch the whole game lol!

Pitching and injury struggles continue throughout the league, as star players are falling left and right.

Players that should be doing well in contract years, yes YOU CC SABATHIA, are stumbling out the gate, and letting their teams get run over by teams like Kansas City.

I'll tell you one thing, I though that the jersey incident at yankee stadium was classic. Anybody else notice, that as soon as they dug up Ortiz's jersey, he starts to hit.

Ken Griffey Jr. is going to break the hr record first imho. I just think that playing in the league, where the pitching is sub-par, works to his advantage.

The Orioles, Nationals, Marlins, and Royals, all occupied first place in their respective divisions at one point or another so far. To put that into better perspective, The Yankees have a higher payroll than all of those teams combined, yet they aren't even in first place in their division.

Now onto my beloved Mets! This was a good week, as they took care of the Phillies in a home and home series. Rollins and Reyes got hurt, but Jimmy has to go on the 15day dl. Pelfrey is starting to payoff, but I would like to see more out of Oliver Perez, before I crown the Mets as my pick for the east.
