Man. That's an interesting question, that list. I'm assuming A-Rod is #2 and either Ichiro or the Big Unit is #3?
Ichiro was number three, Edgar Martinez was number two.

My brother was at the Sox game today and he is going to Wrigley tomm to see our beloved Reds get stomped by the Cubbies. Edgar was a stud of a hitter back in the day.

Went to the Rays game tonight. They lost, 5-4, but so did the BoSox, so the Rays keep their lead intact. Great game, except that for the second night in a row, the umps were injecting themselves into the game. The crowd was letting them hear it.

Rays take the series from the Angels.

Hey Hater, what do you think of the Braves dealing Kotsay to the Red Sox?

I was hoping he'd go to the Phillies, but oh well.

they gave up on the year when they dealt Tex. I'm in "wait and see" mode with this trade. In other words, I'll wait to see who they get out of it and who they get to replace Kotsay in the offseason. I'm curious as to whether this organization is going to try and compete or if we're going to become the Texas Rangers of the NL (not complete bottom feeders, but never really good, either).

Listen to this guy. A streak of 14 straight divisional crowns ends like two hours ago and already they're "never really good."

I said "curious to see if we become" Toothy. I didn't say there were there yet. However, from what I've seen so far from this ownership group, I'm not impressed.

Holy cow, Cal Ripken Jr is at the Rays game tonight. He just spent the fourth inning sitting with the broadcasters and giving a great interview, reflecting on his career. How cool!

It's on Ion here.

I looked it up on Google and looks like Ripken is in town because he's part of an investors group that's buying the Rays' single A team in Vero Beach. Awesome!

Here's the official story (this has me jacked):
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays and Ripken Baseball announced on Wednesday that together they have purchased the team that plays in Vero Beach, Fla. The team -- which will serve as the Rays' Class A affiliate in the Florida State League -- will play in Port Charlotte starting in 2009.
"Florida is a baseball hotbed and we have been anxious to have a base of operations here for some time," Cal Ripken, president and CEO of Ripken Baseball, said. "When the opportunity to partner with the Rays presented itself, we jumped at it."

Although Ripken acknowledged that Minor League Baseball is about selling a family product, the former Major Leaguer was equally optimistic in creating a successful team.

"It's awfully great when you have good players, good prospects you can sell," Ripken said. "We're not in for the short term. We're in it for the long term, so we're looking forward to that."

Ripken said he will be an active and visible part in the new team and Ripken Baseball has hired Joe Hart to serve as the team's general manager. Hart was formerly the GM at the Nashville Sounds, the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers in the Pacific Coast League.

Full season seat packages (70 games) start at $285 and the team is taking deposits for seating now. Those interested should call (866) 272-9789. Single game pricing as well as smaller ticket plans will be announced at a later time.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Cal Ripken and Ripken Baseball on this unique venture," Rays president Matt Silverman said. "Ripken Baseball is an established and proven Minor League operator and the Ripken name is synonymous with success."

Prior to Wednesday's Rays game, Ripken was equally impressed with the success of the Major League club.

"I think it's marvelous," Ripken, who threw out a ceremonial first pitch, said of the Rays' success. "There's a lot of energy. They're the talk of the nation."

Man, Hater, are your Braves the Nationals' bitch or what? They can't beat anyone, but Atlanta comes to town, and all of a sudden the Nationals find a way.

Well, I imagine that if any team lost their entire starting rotation then they would also suck pretty bad.
