    Phil Hughes gets a rehab start this week in the minors and Jeff Karstens had his first rehab start Sat. since breaking his leg on a line drive.

    Also just found this out. The kid Shelley Duncan (.288, 21 HR, 70 RBI) at Scranton is brother to Chris Duncan of the Cards and son of Larussa's ever present pitching coach Dave Duncan.

    By the way, the following teams have made the playoffs when having a losing record at the All-Star break


    2003 - Minnesota Twins 44-49 and finished 90-72 lost in four games to the Yankees in the division series

    1997 - Houston Astros 43-45 and finished 84-78 lost to Atlanta in the division series

    1995 - Seattle Mariners 34-35 finished 79-66, won one-game playoff, beat the Yankees lost to the Indians in the ALCS

    1995 - New York Yankees 30-36 finished 79-65, lost in five to the Mariners in the ALDS

    1995 - Los Angeles Dodgers - 34-35 finished 78-66 lost to the Reds in the NLDS

    1991 - Atlanta Braves - 39-40 and nine and half games behind the Dodgers. beat the Pirates in the NLCS, one run away from beating the Twins in the World Series

    1984 - Kansas City Royals - 39-43 and lost to the Tigers in the ALCS (this team even fell 10 games under .500 before rallying)

    1974 - Pittsburgh Pirates 45-49 and won 88 games lost in the NLCS to the Reds

    1973 - New York Mets - 42-51 and won 82 games and lost in seven to the Athletics

    there have also been a number of teams no more than five games over .500 that have won also. of course, they also have not faced that huge a deficit but it can be done on occasion.
    You know you sound like a sox fan right? Or at least the way we used to sound and would cause us to get ripped mercilessly by Yankees fans.

    um wrong, baseball reasearch is one of my hobbies. i'm a yankee fan but i have a lot more respect for the game than many fan do in this day and age. note, i'm not saying you're one of those type of fans since i don't know you.

    Yanks are going against their usual policy and trying to negotiate a contract extension with A-Rod during the season. If he decides to opt out of his contract, it will be because he wants to play somewhere else. I can't imagine him actually making more money whether he signs elsewhere or with the Yanks.

    a-rod doesn't want an extension. he's as good as gone:

    they should try to force him to wave his no-trade clause.

    He might not get much more per year, but he could make more total by opting out now and signing a 6 or 7 year deal instead of the 3 years remaining in his current contract. If he waited till his mid 30's to become a FA again, he may not get another 3 or 4 year contract at that salary level.

    Of course, there are many other reasons why he may want to opt out besides money. The New York spotlight, possibly wanting to return to SS, the possibility that he has a better chance to win elsewhere(Rivera, Posada, and Clemens are all up there in age and FAs-to-be), ect.

    The combination of all these things make it logical to test the FA waters.

    i love it. all the a-rod hating that's gone on in this thread, and now everyone is salivating at the possibility of having him on their team.

    A-Rod got robbed of a hit in the 2nd inning. Got a homerun after Jeter.

    Hughes had two hitless innings. So that completes the no-hitter.

    But was there any year as an M's fan more exciting than the entire 2001 regular season? 116 wins was just fucking unbelievable!!! What a ride. However, I have never been as depressed and disappointed when we lost in the first round of the playoffs. I was bummed to say the least.
