[Gantry]

Why is STL that bad? 

[ultimate7]

There 5-6-7 hitters have a combine 2 HRs (both by Boyer in game 17) so basically they have 3 hitters (Hornsby, Musial, and JClark) that have like 35 of thier 40 HRs and no other production.  That said, they should still be as good or better than Houston

[ultimate7]

Also the #3 guy on St. Louis Bench who has about 7 ABs all year is tied for 4th on the team in HRs not a good sign

St. Louis HRs:

HRs   
1   Brock
17   Hornsby
11   Musial
8   J. Clark
2   Boyer
0   Flood
0   Simmons

2   Medwick
0   Coleman
0   McGee
0   Mize


Here's the all Line-up teams:

1st Team      2nd Team
Cedeno   #1   Morgan
Hornsby   #2   Lynn
T. Williams   #3   Gehrig
McGwire   #4   Aaron

[ultimate7]

I'm officially calling for Billy Martin's head, this is unacceptable...

[JoeDirt]

I'm officially calling for Billy Martin's head, this is unacceptable...

I didn't know people actually look at/read this thread other than ult.

[Attezz]

I'm actually pretty into it as well, and glad to finally see that Atlanta's coming on strong.

[Big Hath]

yeah, I'm a watch season junkie too

[WeatherMatt]

I've also been paying attention, and what the hell is wrong with the Yanks?

[nomaaa]

boston needs to step it up a notch, but i think they can turn a few heads.

[erhajj]

[fightonusc]

The Braves' offense is unreal. A huge win for the Yanks to pick up the W there.

[ultimate7]

8 teams still have realistic post season chances with 14 games left in the season
