One Quarter in...for baseball!

Yahoo did their One Quarter In....thing this year for Major League Baseball, and I agree with most of it.

Especially this:

10. Chipper Jones will never retire. Not at this pace, anyway. He’s batting .415, and ranks fourth in the N.L. homers (10) and RBIs (31). Before the season, Jones—who is 36—said he wanted to play in 150 games this year. So far, he has been in 36 of 38.

Chipper Jones is having a superb year, a few more dingers before the AS break would be nice.

My first Quarter In shock is the Tampa Bay Rays. Holy shit, I know they have a good team, however, I never expected them to be so damn good. The hitting is outstanding, even the pitching is good. We all know that Scott Kazmir has talent, but Scott Shields? I told my boss at the beginning of the season that he was a backup pick, so he picked him up and thus far he's pitched at an alarmingly good rate.

The Florida Marlins also have been surprising, difference is, we know they've got a good team there. Hanley Ramirez is overlooked for the overrated Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins. Ramirez has power, speed, and can hit fucking anything.

Scott Olsen and Mark Hendrickson have been surprising for the Marlins, as well as basically their entire bullpen.

Something else surprising is Ryan Howards abysmal batting average and inability to hit. Andruw Jones' hardship serve him right, he's a douche. He's batting somewhere in the realm of .170...with ONE HR. I mean...

Good Fucking Riddance.

A-Rod out earning ...people.

Apparently, and I actually have to believe it's the truth, that Alex Rodriguez, 3rd Baseman for the New York Yankshertarians, is out-earning the entire Florida Marlins team.

The entire team you ask?

Yes. I answer you with an exaggerated....YESSSSSSSSSSSS....A-Rod is earning $28 million dollars this year, whilst the Marlins entire payroll is $21.8 million dollars. Yes. That includes the disabled list.

Jesus.
