Well CB a couple of months ago Uncle Ellsworth and I were talking about Ayn Rand and I ended up rereading The Fountainhead, now your glowing endorsement of Don Delillo will ensure I pick up ‘Underworld’ on my way home from B and N. I am always looking for inspired works. Thanks.

Doreen,

Exactly. Especially since Posada was to blame for CC throwing a bad slider last night! lol

There are no “discounted” wins in a baseball season. Again, its the college football mentality seeping into baseball fans minds. You don’t have to have “impressive” wins to impress pollsters. You win and you move onto the next day.

Its why taking the daily temperature of a baseball team is a wasted exercise. People still do it but, its a waste of time.

Pat,

IMO, too many fans and members of the media look at baseball as if its college football. In college football, good teams roll over really bad teams with regularity. That doesn’t always happen in baseball because a starting pitcher on any given day can control ANY team.

Even the 1962 Mets, widely acknowledged to being the worst baseball team of all time, won 40 games.

That’s what seperates baseball from other sports. For one day, ANY bad team can win a game if their pitching shuts down the opponent.

I’m with you on that.

I also have to disagree with people who “disregard” the win, simply because it was against the Nationals. Seems to me a win is a win, and what you’re supposed to do is accumulate as many as you can, trying to get the most out of anyone.

Joe,

Baseball America will publish a list of signees and their bonuses later in the summer. You can also check their draft blog for up to date information.

Off Topic question:
Anyone know where to find out what draft choices get by place chosen in draft?
i.e. 100th pick gets $100k or 600th pick gets $10k as examples?

Thanks

Don’t agree with the take of Pete and other writers this morning that losing to the Nats is embarrassing or tragic just by it happeneing.

This is baseball. On any given day, any team can win.

The Nats may lose a record number of games this year but they have managed to win a game with the Phillies. the Mets and the Dodgers on the road.

That looks to me like the company you might not be embarrassed to be in come October.
