Bullpen Banter: Adam Dunn

After a long pause, Bullpen Banter is back. This week, Russ and I discuss Adam Dunn and milestones.

Eugene: I’ve been reading a lot about Adam Dunn and his chances of getting in the Hall of Fame (I’m in the process of comparing his number to the current members of the Hall). One thing I continually see is “he’s a lock if he gets to 500 HRs”. Do you believe this?

Mets 101 News and Notes: Terry Collins' Job is Safe for Now

The New York Mets have managed a slight turn around in the last several days. When the club was in the midst of its tailspin, including a six game losing streak lowlighted by a four game home sweep from the Colorado Rockies, rumors began to swirl about the future of manager Terry Collins. Collins, 63, had been showing a bit of frustration with the team's seemingly lackadaisical play over the last several weeks.

Roto Fantasy Baseball: Beware of the big lead

Roto Fantasy Baseball: Beware of the big lead

Roto Fantasy Baseball: Beware of the big lead

Yeah, but the Tigers are the better team and they’re going to win the division.

Oh really?  Then what are they been waiting for?  Hockey season?!?  It’s coming!!!
