Ohhh thats right, because they play for your team. Drew is batting 25 points under last years average and 107 points under last years OBP. Meanwhile Hinske's batting a cool .193. Sure Abreu's not having the greatest season of his career, but he only batted .277 last year. So his current .264 is only 13 points under it.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615862536072857322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-21106881055800422842007-07-09T17:42:00.000-04:002007-07-09T17:42:00.000-04:00Dud HAS to be Julio Lugo.

With Federer, the sentiment was more with what Dan incorrectly presumed, that Federer's winning was a foregone conclusion. <BR/><BR/>Based on yesterday, I think it's a lot more likely that Nadal will catch Federer on other surfaces before Federer could beat Nadal at Roland Garros.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-26982934881187268572007-07-09T13:29:00.000-04:002007-07-09T13:29:00.000-04:00I'm piling on with Hunter Pence as NL Rookie here,...I'm piling on with Hunter Pence as NL Rookie here, too.

McEwen is a sprinter who is never going to finish within two hours of the winner's time. <BR/>What is kind of unique about McEwen is his size. He is 5'7" and about 149 lbs. Most of the sprinters are much bigger and can generate incredible power for short distances. McEwen despite being physically smaller has such a fast kick that he can speed by the bigger guys. He started as a BMX racer in Australia and is renowned for being able to find just the right position in the pack.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday was one of the more amazing sprints. He crashed with 23km to go and his wrist and knee were hurt. His teammates helped pace him back to the group by letting him draft off of them. They rejoined the group but there are 189 riders in the tour all riding in one pack strung out from side to side across the road. The camera showing the sprint only had about the front 10 riders in view and Robbie was nowhere to be seen. He shot out of nowhere and blew by the other top sprinters in the world to take the win easily.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.com
