2008 3rd base fantasy preview pt.1

Hey everyone my fantasy previews are back and better than ever, maybe. So without further ado let's get started.

1. A-Rod: Dare I not put him at #1, He had one of the seasons that fantasy players. With 54 home runs, a .314 average,130 RBI's 120 Runs and 23 stolen bases what else do you need guys. One of the down points to drafting A-Rod is that he's not gonna produce up to the numbers that he did last year but don't expect a huge down fall maybe just a little drop in the power and average catergory.but not really that much. So expect A-Rod do be numero uno in the 3rd base catergory and numero uno in your entire draft in 08'.

2.David Wright:What can you expect from the Golden Boy of the Mets in 08? Well don't expect 40 home runs from him but do expect 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases.That plus an average over 300, and well, you know the rest. Wright is a pure machine.Wright should be considered a top 5 fantasy pick and should be primed with a better season assuming Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado get back on track. He's only 24 so .300+/30/30 is certainly a possibility.

3:Ryan Braun:: You know how hard it is to put a such a young and unproven guy this early in the rankings,but if anyone deserves it has to be the great Ryan Braun.One of the high points of drafting Braun has to be the fact that he had 34 homeruns in only 451 at bats. Even though he moved to the outfield, don't worry because his bat is for real.This guy is for real and if he gets 20 or more stolen bases he's a huge steal in the 2nd round.

4: Miguel Cabrera: I'm not buying into the getting into the best shape of his life bit, but he still a force to be reckoned with.He is consistency and now that he is in an elite lineup, he shouldn't have any trouble surpassing 100 runs.One of the best thing about drafting him is how much of a lock he is for 320/35/120 numbers.Cabrera's ceiling is unlimited now that he'll have real protection behind him and add in the fact that he has lost some weight and committed to better health and shape, Cabrera could be primed for his biggest season yet.

5: Chipper Jones:When Jones plays…he PLAYS. However, he hasn't played a full season in, well, forever. FM: If you plan to draft Jones as your primary 3B in the 4th-6th rounds, it would be wise to handcuff Jones with a decent back up like Alex Gordon, Josh Fields or Edwin Encarnacion. Of course, any of those three could be drafted as your primary, but knowing that Jones is so brittle, it's a good idea to have yourself a spare 3B.

6: Aramis Ramirez: So you all were expecting 40 or more home runs out of him last year, what happened? But don't worry young grasshopper he hasn't quite lost his power and average though.Well I see a forecast of 35 home runs but i see a 20% chance of 40 home runs for 2008'.Well don't you dare worry about his age he's only 29 home runs and and just in the middle of his prime. So execpt a rise in the HR/RBI temperature while keeping his average at about .300.

7.Garret Adkins:Well I guess you guys were expecting 30 or more home runs and maybe 130-140 in the RBI category? Well you should get 30 or more home runs just because of the ballpark he plays in but without Coors Field he could still get 25 or more. Now to the batting average, well I think he's .301 average even though very good for others in my opinion it's still not good enough for this 28 year old kid from Orange County. Well expect 30 to 35 home runs, a .325 batting average, and 110 RBI's.

8: Ryan Zimmerman: Well I'm not like other people for jumping on his bandwagon, he hits for a low to pretty average batting average, he can only hit up to 30 home runs at the most but where this kid gets my vote in is for his potential and the potential of the Washington Nationals.Yes it is known that he hasn't reached his full potential as a player, he could still get the .300 average and get the 30 home runs. But that's potential and as we all know potential doesn't go on the field. But Ryan Zimmerman can be one of the best players and be a average player but that all has to do with one word potential.

9: Chone Figgins; Speed,that what makes Figgins one of the most sought out players in the league. Speed, is what helps him in your fantasy draft rooms. Speed is what Chone Figgins is made of and speed is what helps him get his .330 average. He can't hit home runs, he can't stay healthy for an entire season. Speed is Chone Figgins and Batting Average is what makes him #9 overall.

10: Adrian Beltre; Well it seems this guy is getting past his prime because it seems like he's been playing in this league for 15 years but no. He's only 29 years old and full of potential. Yes he can hit 20 or more home runs, yes he can get a .280 average yes he can steal bases. He's a great 5 tool player in any league and if you played for a better team, yes he can get better but with him and Ichiro just those 2 players can scare any team. Expect Beltre to have a great season in 08'.

Teenager to the Yankees?

A little article about the replacment to Jorge Posada, but you know what this kid is only 16.

2008 2nd base preview pt.2 11-20

Sorry about the little break I had I've just been really busy with school but I'm finally back so here we go.

11. Jeff Kent: What can Kent do in what could be his final year at the age of 39? Well even though he's not as good as he once was he's still a force to be reckoned with. One of the good things about Kent is that he can provide consistent numbers which after 11 no one can really say.So Kent isn't gonna put up the 30 home runs and a .320 BA like the best of the best of the position but he'll still hit a .290 BA and 20 home runs. Look to draft Kent around the 11th round.

12: Dustin Pedroia: This career .300 hitter in his small minor league career is looking to show everyone that he can do it now in the big show.One of the good things about Pedroia is that he hits in frount of Manny and David Ortiz.This kid might be small some say too small,but you know what haters he proved he can last in the majors but you know what this kid can be great. So expect this kid to get 15 home runs with a great .320 BA.So in around the 12th round look to draft this kid that I'm gonna can "The Little Warrior.:"

13: Felipe Lopez: You know what the bad thing about this is that Manny Acta that didn't really let Lopez steal bases in 07' which could be the case in 08' but if Acta let's Lopez steal 30-40 bases than we have something here with Lopez. Why do you have to worry about him stealing bases, the reason is if he doesn't really run his value will be minimal because he really doesn't hit that many home runs and he has a pretty decent average. The reason why I have him so high is because that

1. I believe that he can get to 30-40 stolen bases if Acta lets him

2. Do you believe in magic if so, he's turning 27 and you all know what happens when a player turns 27.

14: Aaron Hill: One of my sleepers for the 08' season,Hill is a great player but is looked over because he plays in such a small market in Toronto. After what might have been a breakout season with .291 and 17 home runs he could bump up his stats as he still has some upside because he's only 25 home runs. As I like to call him "Little Hill" is looking to improve his stats in 08' and you know what he can and he will get it up to 20 home runs and a .300 average.

15: Orlando Hudson: So if your looking for consistency in one of the later rounds well you found your man. Well one of the high points in drafting him is that he seems like a old man compared to the younger players in the later rounds. Hudson would of had his better seasons if he didn't get injured late last year.Still pretty young,good at defense, he has good upside and has the consistency you want from a 2nd baseman in the later rounds .

16: Freddy Sanchez: So let's say you didn't get the that big batting average player and your looking for one in a later round, here's a guy that hits the spot. Don't expect too much of Sanchez in terms of power maybe in the lines of 10 maybe even 11 home runs if your lucky.So don't expect to much from him in the power category but if you want a type notch hitter look to draft this former batting champ.

17: Asdrubal Cabrera: He really hit the scene at the post season last year but can he start to prove himself in the regular season? Well I really think so,he has the potential to get a .300 average but look for him to hit .285 average in 08'. The good thing about drafting him is how cheap he'll go and you get such a good young player and he's a top notch player for any keeper leagues. The bad thing about drafting him is he really isn't a power player or a really big player on the base path, but he has good average on all of the offensive positions and he's playing in a great Indians lineup.

18:Luis Castillo: Age is slowing down this once lighting quick player but expect to him to have a good average for 08'. Even though he's slowing down look for 20+ stolen bases from him in 08' but he's really lacking in the power category..300/100+R/20+SB is what you could expect from him in 08' but don't look for him to miss maybe 10-15 or more games because of his legs. Also if your in a keeper league be very cautious about drafting Castillo because of his age, and his leg problems.

19: Kelly Johnson:What can we expect from Johnson in 08' after his outstanding 07' season? Well we can about expect a little more maybe in the lines of 20 home runs and about 10 stolen bases. One of the bad things about Johnson is how much he can get in slumps. So make sure you know about this whille your drafting or by keeping him as a #2 2nd baseman so when he is in that hot streak he'll be right there in your lineup. So exepct a .275 average by Johnson in 08'.

20: Ty Wigginton:I'm a little iffy on Wigginton, but 20 homeruns from the second base position is not something that can be easily discounted. Right off the bat when I look at Wiggy I think about how many postions he can play, he can play 1st,2nd,and 3rd base which means he could fill in for any of your players that are slumping. For stats I see 25 home runs at max and a .280 average. Make sure to draft one of this fantasy best kept secrets and one of the most versatile not counting Ryan Freel.

Was this the last hurrah of Brett Favre?

As Favre closed out the 07' season last night against the GIants you have to wonder,was this the last we've seen from Favre? A few reasons why I think he might call it quits is because.

1. People really think he humilliated himself during the game throwing balls that were not even by the recivers.

2. He'll be 39 during midseason next year and around this time people would think that it's about time for him to hang it up.

3. He might be aging a little fast because of his 275 straight games he played.

4. He might have lost his spark and he wants to finish on top.

Even though there are some reasons why he might hang it up there are some more good reasons why he's gonna come back for another reason.

1. He has a great team looking to make a Super Bowl and he has alot of trust in the team.

2. He looked like what he was having a load of fun throwing TD's to Jennings and Driver.

3.He's still on contract with the team.

4. He wants to win another Super Bowl and this might be the team to do it.

5. Aaron Rodgers is still uncertain.

So as the process is coming I really hope to see one more year out of #4.

Tony Romo is missing and he's not im mexico!!  

Well according to rumors the Cowboys are trying to find Tony Romo after he went missing after he said this "Well after what TO said I thought he was a great straight guy but after what he said after the game I have to get away from him."There was a search for Romo way back in 06' but they easily found him and got rid of the sucker in Drew Bledsoe. So if you find Romo please contact the Dallas Cowboys or Jessica Simpson.

Jason Garrett: Back for one more year

Jason Garrett has announced that he will stay with the Dallas Cowboys. Hired on this past year as the offensive coordinator, Garrett has led the Cowboys offense to be one of the most potent in the league. Garrett recently was interviewed for head coaching positions in Baltimore and Atlanta. He was offered the Ravens head coaching position, but turned it down to stay with Dallas. Meanwhile, Cowboys assistand head coach Tony Sparano was hired by the Miami Dolphins as head coach, leaving the assistant head coaching position in Dallas open. Garret accepted the job, and has now officially been named the assistant head coach in Dallas.

For the Dallas Cowboys, this is an excellent move. Jason Garrett has been a major factor in the success of the team, and will play a key role if the Cowboys are to be a playoff team next season. This is a very exciting move for the Cowboys, and Garrett will be doing all he can to lead his team to success so that he can build a better resume for a head coaching position down the road.

2008 Fantasy Preview: Top 20 2nd baseman pt.1 1-10

As this long journey continues till the start of the season,it also means the millions will be hitting drafts and auctions near you. So let's get a little start with 2nd basemen 1-10

1. Chase Utley: By far the best 2nd baseman in baseball today is looking to improve on the numbers that he had in his shortened by injury 07' season. Think about the 28 home runs and the .332 average that he got in only 130 games so if he plays to whole 162 then look for him to get 35 home runs and a .310 average. So when your drafting look for Utley around mid first round around the same place as David Wright.

2: B.J Upton:B.J who broke out last year with a .300 average and 24 HR's is looking to help the Rays getting out of the A.L East cellar and also help make a name of himself in the staked A.L East. The one thing that scares me is that he can't stay healthy,he has to potential to be a 30/30 hitter.So if he stays healthy he can be a good 30/30 hitter and should remain and everyone's radar.

3: Brandon Phillips: No one really gave Phillips his due at the beginning of the season but once the season started, man he shocked everyone. Upton and Phillips as the only ones to really compete with Utley.So around the middle of the 3rd round look to draft Brandon as a great 2nd basemen and also another good 30/30 potential player.

4:Brian Roberts: Roberts is a dream to everyone in H2H leagues he has average,runs,great speed,and some power and he's also normally consistent. With Markakis still in develping this should be Roberts best year. So expect Roberts to get .295/15/105/35. SO if your in the 4th round and looking to draft a good 2nd baseman who's good everywhere please draft Brian Roberts.

5. Robinson Cano:After Cano's horrible first half of 07' he really hit it up in the second half and made everyone wonder "Who is this kid?" Well for everyone still wondering this kid is one of many reasons to be excited for the Yankees when the likes of Jeter and A-Rod go to rest in retirement. So what you should be expecting from Cano is to have .320/20/100/100. So this kid can do it all but the one thing Yankees fans are wondering is can he help lead us back to the world series? Well let's just wait and see.

6: Rickie Weeks:After he had a injury for a good part and was in a big slump for a good part of the year, he still was able to muscle out 25 home runs. One of the big draw backs in drafting Weeks is his average which was an ultra low .235 but that was for the most part was because of the slump. So if your looking for a good 30/30 player at best but 20/30 imight be pretty good for a round 5 pick up.

7. Dan Uggla: Well another player who had a low low average of .245 average but the good thing about him is he's he can do anything when he gets the barrel on the bat. Uggla who had 31/88/113 but his RBI's and his runs scored might change but it doesn't look like Uggla can do anymore with his homeruns. So if your looking to draft Uggla handcuff him with a 2-3 high average players.

8. Ian Kinsler; A player who's really far from being consist which could prevent some people in the draft but Kinsler is still looking like a good player to draft in the 10th round.Here's a little area when he was hot and cold last year

Hot:April,May,September

Cold:June,July,August

Even though he isn't the most consist player but when he is hot he can really smash the ball and when he's cold he's really bad. So expect 20+/90/110/20. So his inconsistency but be because of his young age but he's still a good pickup.

9. Howie Kendrick: So your looking for a player with a good average look no closer than Kendrick. One of the main reasons many people will pick this guy up is because of his potential to have a .330 average with good RBI's and good runs.So with his injury shortened last yaer might look like he's not worthy of drafting well he is. Expect a .320/15/10 from Kendrick in 08'.

10. Placido Polanco, Polanco is one of the lightest hitting 2nd basemen in the MLB but what he doesn't do in power he does in average.With the revamped lineup now equipped for the Tigers Polanco will likely be at the bottom but with all those great hitters ahead of him I think it actually might actually help him because it'll raise his RBI's as most of the time they'll be runners on base.

So if your looking for a good 2nd baseman in the later rounds look no closer than this hitting machine in Polanco.

Cry me a river T.O just cry me a river  

Ryan makes another video but this time it's about T.O and how strange he's acting lately, your a tough guy huh T.O.

2007 Fantasy Preview: 1st baseman pt.2 11-20

Hey what's up everyone as I deliver my second crack at bringing this out. So let's get this started again here we go.....

11. Derrek Lee: Can Lee return to what he was like in 05' or will just do the same thing he did last year? As some of you might saw that in my last article northpaw22x or Dave said this " Derrek Lee's gonna break out again this year....im claiming .320 with 35+ bombs". Well Dave I think he'll hit can get a .320 average but hitting 35+ home runs I think is a long shot because you really don't know what your gonna get from him, but expect at the most 30 home runs from him.

12. Travis Hafner: As downhill falls go Hafner's have to as big as Mount Everest. As Hafner hit 18 less home runs and hit .42 lower in his batting average So when your drafting expect 35 home runs and a .290 average which is getting back to what people expect from Hafner year in and year out.

13. Paul Konerko: Now here's a guy that has all the potential to be a fantasy superstar but every year he always goes out there and has a average year every single year.The good thing about drafting Paul is that he's the cheapest 1st basemen with big power potential in fantasy baseball. So when your thinking about drafting Konerko around the 9th round go for it he's a really great power hitter for that low price.

14: James Loney: Wow I really love this kid, last year in only 96 games he had a fantastic .331 BA and a good 15 home runs. But as he enters his 2nd year expect this guy to be on everyone's radar as a terrific #2 1st baseman and maybe a #1 for some of you in a bigger league. So really expect this guy to get up to 30 home runs,.310 average and 100 RBI's.

15. Carlos Delgado: Despite the fact that he's stats been turning a turn to the south for some time now. With that being said, he hasn't hit less than 20 home runs since Micheal Jordan was playing baseball,and it really don't look like it's gonna happen at all in 08'. So because most people will be afraid of drafting him because of his 07' season but that means if you know he's gonna be a .270/25+ home runs this year than your off pretty good.

16: Carlos Guillen: This might be his first starting off at 1st base but as your doing your draft don't be surprised if you don't see him as a 1st baseman on your draft board because he'll be a SS on most draft boards. One of the pros to drafting him is if one your 1st baseman goes down and then you can put Guillen out of the shortstop spot and put him in as 1st base.So for stats expect him to get .300/30/100 which is really good for a player this low in the draft.

17: Kevin Youkilis: Remember when he was crushing the ball in the first part of the season and everyone was picking him up,but then he quickly faded down the stretch.Like Guillen, Youkilis can play more one positon which might really help you in the stretch if your 1st baseman or your 3rd baseman goes down with injury. So if your drafting a nice utility player late in your draft and someone to get a .300 average.

18:Alex Gordon: Some fantasy "experts" were picking this guy to run all over the league and win ROY and were picking him as the next David Wright,well you feel dumb huh guys. Even though he really struggled in the early part,he burst out of the cellar around June 1st and had a solid second half. So as I'm looking forward to 08' I can see around 25 home runs and maybe a .300 average.

19. Jarrod Saltalamacchia: Brought up in the Mark Texiara trade in late July last year, he has immense presence at the plate and is a star in the making. So if you guys are in keeper leagues stop reading this and pick him up right now I'll wait........ Ok now that you have him you want to know what to expect from him in 08' he'll get 25 home runs and .290 average so he'll do pretty good and guys think this kid is only 22 years old.

20: Ryan Garko: After bursting on the scene in 06' with 45 RBI's in the second half of the season and having a.289/21/61 performance in 2007. He's considered one of the best young pure hitters in baseball today because he basically made his way to the Majors by his hitting. This kid who's big in size at 6'2 225 he has 30+ potential which I predict him to get at least 30 home runs and he should also get a .290 BA and 100 RBI's

So now that we are done with 1st base I'll start the second base preview with 1-10 tomorrow.

2008 Fantasy Preview: Top 20 1st baseman pt.1

Hey everyone just because the playoffs are in full swing doesn't mean you guys can't look forward to the fantasy baseball draft day. So from here on till March I'm gonna start to make previews for each position top 20 for each position and because I'm so lazy im gonna break it up into 2 parts so let's get started with my 1st base preview.

1 Albert Pujols Everyone's gonna have the urge to ignore Pujols because of his disappointing 07' season but remember 2 things people were ignoring A-Rod last year and see what happened and two he is the best player under 30 in baseball. With Carpenter looking to come back after being out for almost the enitre year and the emergence of Ankiel look for Pujols to get a .310 average and 40 homers in 08' don't worry guys.

2. Prince Fielder Well it's hard to put someone so young so high but he's looking better than Howard and hey he's only 23. With the emergence of his robin Braun and Sheets looking to stay healthy. So look for Fielder to hit 50 or more homers and to have a .270 average. Prince I'll be drafting you in the first round..

3. Ryan Howard 47 homeruns in 140 games can I say he'll get 50 or more in 160 if the big guy can stay healthy. So if this youngster stays healthy and raises his average to the .280 look to pick up Howard in the last first round if he's not gone which i think he will because of his home run potential.

4.David "BIg Papi" Ortiz Despite the slight slip in his power numbers which might be from his chronic knee injury he did have a great .332 average which might mean good things in 08'.So if he stays healthy look for him to get up to 50 homers at his homerun upside and also look forward to him to dip slightly to a .300 average. Look forward to draft Ortiz in late 1st, early 2nd round.

5. Lance Berkman With the latest offseason pickups and you might of forgot Berkman but if your a fantasy player and the likes of Fielder Pujols and Howard are gone remember these few stats of him. What people don't know if you look at his and Pujols's stats they really don't know that different, so Berkman is looking like a good early to mid 2nd round as this guy will put up really good numbers once again.

6. Justin Morneau Even though Justin and Joe Mauer had dissapointing seasons in 07' I'm looking forward to see if Morneau can put up numbers of years past.Well if Santana leaves to go to the Mets which is looking like he will Morneau will have to be one of the guys to help the Twinkies win games with there hitting. So if Justin is down there in the 3rd round pick him up because he'll hit 45 home runs and get a .280 average.

7.Mark Teixiera Included in one of the biggest trades at the deadline last year,Mark is looking to get back to his ways from when he was a Ranger. That stat that pops out at me is the .306 average which is great for a 1st baseman. So if you still don't have a 1st baseman and if he's still there in the 3rd round pick him up if you'll be happy with him to have 40 HR's and a .290 average.

8. Carlos Pena Was last year a fluke or not? Was he a juicer or not? All of those questions pop into my mind as I wonder if this Ray can repeat his 46 HR's and 120 RBI 07' season.As a proud example of someone who reached there peak at the age of 28 i wouldn't draft this player because maybe 07' was a fluke and he'll go back down to what he was like in Boston and Detriot. So if you're a risk taker take Pena at your own risk as his projected to get 40 HR's and a .280 average from the fantasy man draft guide

9. Adrian Gonzalez As one of the sleepers you should watch out for this kid hasn't even reached his prime. Looking to get a .300 average and 35 home runs, can he do it well people say that's stretching it but that's what everyone does at this time right.As your drafting and still looking for a 1st baseman look forward to drafting this kid in around the 4th round which I consider a steal in the 4th.

10. Victor Martinez V-Mart had a standout year in 07' and telling everyone that his .300+ average and 20+ home runs are looking legit. One thing that is really helping him is that steller lineup in Cleveland that will have him get more RBI's and get him on base more often than not.So if this top 5 catcher is still on the board by round 3, pick him up because he's not only a awesome catcher but he's also a fine good 1st baseman.

So look for my part 2 by tonight and remember Go Packers!!!

Don't worry Tony it's ok if you're the A-Rod of Football its ok.  

Hey everyone Ryan Parker is back and this time he's back in trying to help Romo relax and be happy.

NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys Game Preview

For the first time in NFL history, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys will square off in a postseason match. The Cowboys have won the previous three games against the Giants, dating back to last year. The winner of this matchup will take on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC championship game next week.

The Cowboys will likely have the services of both wideouts Terry Glenn and Terrel Owens for the game. Glenn has been out the entire season, and Owens missed the last game with a high ankle sprain.Having both of these players available will be key for the Cowboys as they will be facing a depleted Giants secondary. Marion Barber has also seen some of his best games come against the Giants, and his performance will be a big factor in this game as well.

For the Giants, they are coming off of two very competitive games at New England and Tampa Bay. Quarterback Eli Manning has looked very impressive in those games, despite being without one of his favorite targets in tight end Jeremy Shockey. The return of center Shaun O' Hara will also be a big boost for the Giants offensive line, and especially the run game, which was key in their win last week against the Bucs. Defensiely, Sam Madison is listed as a game-time decision.

Overall, This game will likely come down to overall performance. The turnover ratio will be a big factor, as well as time of possession. The matchup of the game will be the Cowboys recievers against the Giants secondary. In the end, I believe the Cowboys will come on top in this game by a final score of 27-21.

Jacksonville vs. New England Can the Jags kill the King?

So as New England is looking to continue there dream season but some people are already taking them out as they think the Jags and the great rushing attack featuring Fred Taylor and Jones-Drew are looking to run all over them. So here are some of the things that both teams need to do if they want to win the game.For the Jag to win they'll really have to establish there running game as they'll have to help keep the ball out of Garrard's hands as he's just a average QB and I think actually if he throws it around 20-30 times he'll get at least 2-3 interceptions.Speaking of Garrard all he has to do is just not lose the game and not throw 4 interceptions which will kill them.For the Patriots to win the game, Tom Brady has to get a nice groove and just throw the nice short slants to Welker then throw that big pass to Moss.Also the major key is looking to stop this powerhouse of a running game. Because if they can stop there running game they have it in the bag becuase Garrard like I said is a above average QB at best. So even though the Pats are 16-0 right now I'm making a bold prediction and picking the Jags to win it 28-24

Seatttle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers. Favre's last game at lambeau?

Well as thursday rolls around it's about time to look at the happenings of the divisional playoffs. The first game I'm gonna preview is the Seattle Vs Green Bay game on saturday. Seattle who's coming off of a win on saturday against the Skins are looing to beat the packers and the hallowed Lambeau Field. One thing Seattle will have to do to beat the Packers is get Alexander at least 10-20 carries to keep the packers defense off balance. One of the most intriguing matchups I'm looking forward to is the matchup between Greg Jennings and Marcus Trufant. One if the snubs for the reciever spot in the pro bowl because he had a much better season than Donald Driver who did get in the Bowl.So it'll be a great matchup between them too because they're both pro bow caliber players.

One last thing I'm looking forward to is how will the Hawks do away from they're 12th man and at Lambeau one of the toughest places to play football. So as Saturday rolls around I'm looking forward to how will both of the defense's do against these powerhouse offenses.

Goose makes it in to the hall

After the 9 years of waiting for his chance to get in the hall he finally got in with a large percent of the vote of 85.8 percent. Gossage played from 1972-94 he was a nine time all star, who played for 9 big league teams and got 310 saves 54 of those were in 2 or more innings. One of the main casualties of the Gossage getting in has to be Jim Rice who next year will be on his final year on the ballot and also will have to compete with newcomer Rickey Henderson. In hist first year on the ballot former Expo and former Cub Andre Dawson finished with 65.9 percent of the vote and looks like he'll be on the way to the hall by 09'. And another thing to think about is even though he was rarley featured on the Mitchell Report Mark McGwire only got 128 votes only one more than in 07'.
