VR has lost his mind!


As if me getting beat by the hated Yankee, A-rod wasn't bad enough. Now you forget he is actually on your team and give me a brief hope that I drafted him. Check your 10th pick. Oh and when I took a Philly slugger #1 I didn't realize I should have taken Jimmy Rollins.

My team looks as stable as Al Davis right now. He looks like Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's. Was he even alive up in that suite last season? He has always loved big armed QB's and stud WR's. Now he has to decide between the two and likely knows this will be his last chance before he officially dies.

So I'm on record, here is what I want from the Browns on Saturday. Trade for Daunte and then draft Calvin Johnson, or if gone take Adrian Peterson and then Troy Smith in 4th round and give him a shot in a few years. If no trade is made for Daunte take either Brady Quinn, or Calvin Johnson. Whichever one a Bucs fan like you would miss more!

ARod is first to ten dingers

Alex Rodriguez continues his magical season for the VR team - he is first in MLB to hit ten homers last night as a walk-off to beat the Indians. This of course puts him on pace for 116 HR for the season...

Recall also that he was on pace for dropping 162 foul balls early in this campaign as well.

Here are the current top five, including "sell short" candidate Ian Kinsler of Texas and feel good story of 2007 Josh Hamilton...

10 HR - Alex Rodriguez
7 - Ian Kinsler
6 - Jimmy Rollins
5 - Josh Hamilton (CIN), Carlos Lee (HOU), Big Papi (BOS), Jim Thome
(CHW)


updated standings on May 1 - I am prepared for it to be UGLY!

Dunn, Renteria on pace for 324 HR each...

From the "Statistics don't Lie" Department, both mashers Adam Dunn of the Cincinatti Reds and Edgar Renteria of the Atlanta Braves hit two dingers in their first game of the season, putting them on a torrid pace to acheive almost half of the MLB career record in just one season.

"I am known to get on a streak now and then, but hitting a 300 batting average is hard enough, let alone 300 home runs this season," said Dunn.

Per the Cincinnatti Post, Dunn's third-inning homer was the 200th of his career. He entered the season fifth on baseball's all-time list of career home runs after six seasons, trailing Ralph Kiner (257), Albert Pujols (250), Eddie Mathews (222) and former Red Frank Robinson (198).
