did you watch baseball tonight last night?they were comparing him to Ichiro, something they would never have done in the begining of the season.

comparing who to Ichiro.......Reyes?

Reyes has more speed...and more power. He's more of a spark plug.

Ichiro is a great hitter though! Perhaps the best contact hitter we will ever see.

NO, Utley.

NO, Utley.

why would they do that?

Utley is not a lead off hitter and doesnt have speed like Ichiro.....

Chase is a totally different player.

I guarantee if you look it up in any sport, the team with the worst record in a matchup wins a larger % of games in baseball, than in any other sport. Especially when you compare teams with the best record to teams with the league's worst record.

this may be true for the sport overall... but NOT... with college basketball...ESP. THE tournament. ok.. so lets say... all sports playoffs... there

0-3 Toronto

i told you i still dont understand waivers. so, if i got this right, they put him on waivers just to see what teams would offer them for him, but they can take back the waivers anytime they want right?
