Baseball Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous baseball thoughts and observations.

This is a bit dated but still funny... Nomar appears to be back to his old form (.360 BA, 5 HR, 21 RBI). I hope he can keep it up. Nomar deserves better than the injury plagued seasons he's had the last few years... Jeremy Bonderman was the "player to be named later" that completed the Ted Lilly for Jeff Weaver three team trade (A's, Tigers and Yankees). Can you imagine how dangerous the A's rotation would be if Bonderman was still in Oakland? Bonderman threw 8 innings of shut-out ball yesterday and is 4th in the AL in K's and is second in innings (plus he sports a 3.74 ERA)... Many people are on the Jose Contreras bandwagon but I say that when the season is all done - Roy Halladay will be the AL Cy Young winner... San Diego has the best road record in baseball at 11-4. What's up with that?... May 13th - the day the Reds fell out of first place in the NL Central. Will they be back in first again at anytime this season? Somehow I doubt it... Talk about night and day. In April Omar Vizquel hit .375 and was leading the league. In May he's hitting just .159 and his overall average has dropped to just .298... How strange is this? The Colorado Rockies have a better team ERA (4.30) than the Atlanta Braves (4.36)...
