Baltimore Orioles as Bad as the Pittsburgh Pirates
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Bill Mckillop in MLB
The Pittsburgh Pirates who have had their 17th consecutive losing season this year has been labeled the worst franchise in all of sports not just Baseball. I think all this abuse the Pirates get may be deserved cause they are not a good team but they are not the only ones. The Baltimore Orioles have been just as badáas the Piratesáthis decade. They may not have the 17 year history ...

The Los Angeles Angels are currently in 1st place in the AL West and could represent the American League in the World Series.
The Angels are not out of the woods yet in the West as the Texas Rangers are playing well and still making a charge. The Angels are in good position to make the playoffs as a division winner or wild card with the regular season getting shorter everyday.
The Rangers are trailing the ...
Here is my 25 man roster for the 2009 MLB Sleepers of the draft All Star Team. To be considered a sleeper of the draft All Star you can not be drafted in the first round.
This eliminates some famous stars like Alex Rodriguez, Josh Beckett, and Joe Mauer. This also excludes amateur free agent signings and international free agents like Ichiro, Mariano Rivera, and Johan Santana.
I am open to more suggestions ...
