Baseball Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous baseball thoughts and observations.

The Washington Nationals are dead last in MLB in both runs scored and total bases. Any one who thinks that the Nats will be hanging around for the Wild Card are completely deluded... Both Vlade Guerrero and Shawn Green need just one HR for 300 in their careers. Vlade has reached this point in just 1265 games while it has taken Green 1636... I don't know how Jim Bowden stays employed as a GM. You could pick the winning guy from any Yahoo fantasy baseball league and plug him in instead of Bowden and the Yahoo guy would yield better results. I truly believe that... I think one of the major reasons why the Cubs are not doing better s the fact that they simply give up too many walks. The Cubs are third in all MLB in walks with 455 - thats almost 4 walks per game. Thats way too many walks... The top three teams for triples are all AL clubs while the top three teams in strikeouts are all NL clubs. That just seems backwards...
