Major League Baseball Preview

I predict that the 2008 Detroit Tigers will be the 2007 Red Sox of baseball. They have a great team - They have Maglio Ordonez who hit 363. last year, Curtis Granderson who was the first since Willie Mays to hit 20 homers, steal 20 bases, hit 20 triples, and hit 20 doubles in a season. Ivan Rodriguez, who is one of the greatest defencive catchers ever, Justin Verlander, who is a great pitcher, and most importantly there ofseason pickups- Dontrelle Willis, and Miguel Cabrera, one of the best players in the majors. I think they will beat the Red Sox in the AL finals. The NL crown could go to the Rockies again. If not, the Brewers, the Padres, or the Dodgers. The Dodgers have great potential, and Torre as coach. But not pennant potential. The Padres probably will not win, but they are a descent team. THE BREWERS-

Braun, Fielder, Cameron, Weeks, Hart, Hall. Just a great hiting team. That is total hiting pennant material. But look again. How many good fielders? 1- Cameron. He is a Gold Glove player. Braun was horrific at 3rd base last year, and now left field?! Weeks was almost as bad. People think Hardy is great, but he is just Okay. Hart is good, but we just have only one GREAT fielder. Fielder is no Prince in the field. At least he can crack us up when he belly flops, witch he does because of a bad throw. Hall was very average. I bet he will be better back in the infield. Lets move on to the Mets. David Wright, as overated as he is, is good. Johan Santana could be the leagues best pitcher. Jose Reyes is great. SO -

AL West - Angels
AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - Tigers
AL Wild Card - Yankees

Baseball comes to a rap

RAP THIS STORY

Barry: " My name is Barry Bonds, I hit baseballs to big ponds (the giants stadium has a lake behind it), people think that i'm a cheater, but i'm just a big eater

Francisco Cordero: My nickname might be coco but I hope the Reds arent loco, and then after being taded, Ned Yosts sign was announced belated.

John Coltrane advises you to watch baseball, but never rap these in public. Thank you.

Coltrane Writen

This is a REAL writen composition by John Coltrane. And it was on E-Bay! I wanted it, until I saw the $3000 part. But still, the Coltrane autograph is worth a lot. Did you know that Coltrane played with Thelonious Monk after he quit Miles band? After that, he made Blue Train and went back to Davis. Then he quit Miles band and made his own band.
