Correa sounds like a fine, fine talent.

He'll be a stud.

Appel, repped by $cott Bora$ fell all the way to the Pirates at #8, proving the Appel does fall far from the greed.

If Pittsburgh can sign them all, they should have a nasty rotation in a few years. Cole, Appel, Taillon

So Tommy Lasorda has had a heart attack.

Lets hope he pulls through.

I think it's better than NFL network. It definitely would be if Kevin Millar wasn't on Intentional Talk.

Millar isn't on here tonight.

Carlos Santana has to have a Carlos Santana nickname, right?

Like "Black Magic" or "Smooth."

Right?

Baseball is back!

The four-day All-Star break was excruciating.

Totally, I can't wait for baseball again.

Second-half themes:

Angels
After a horrible April, the Angels have actually rebounded to have the third best record in the AL at the All-Star break, and would be leading the Central. Can Trout continue his torrid pace and become a real MVP candidate?

Rangers
Probably the best team in the league, can they continue to win, and will Hamilton win the MVP?

Note: Key serieses, the Angels and Rangers meet six times in the last two weeks of the season.

Phil Hughes
Hughes is 8-3 since May 6 and brought his ERA down three runs. If he can continue pitching like that, the Yankees will dominate the AL East in the second half.

Kevin Youkilis
He is hitting .347 with three home runs in 13 games since being traded. He likely could be the spark to get the White Sox into the playoffs.

Pirates
Can the Pirates really win the NL Central.

Nationals
Can they continue their torrid pace for such a young team? Will the pitching hold out, and will the Nationals really sit Strasburg at an inning limit with a divisional lead?

Dodgers
Can the Dodgers hold on, or will San Francisco or Arizona catch them? The Dodgers get Kemp back, will that be enough?

Cole Hamels
Will he be traded?

Who's gonna get fired?
Could Ron Gardenhire get fired?
Will Tracy and O'Dowd?
Eric Wedge

"@ESPNStatsInfo: Elias says Zack Greinke tonight will be 1st pitcher to start 3 straight team games in same season since Red Faber for White Sox in 1917."

Crap am I disappointed. I thought this thread was about our Middle Line Backers.... instead its about crappy baseball.

I would love nothing more than to see all the stars allign and by some miracle of the baseball Gods have Greinke end up on the Rockies. I think a rotation of Greinke, Francis, JDLR, Chacin, and Nicasio/Pomeranz/Friedrich would be pretty good.
