Well, seems like the Atlanta Braves are up to their old ways again; winning! After having been left for dead in a strong NL East division, they now find themselves 3 games in first. What is even more amazing about this comeback is that they did it without a lot of their key players like Chipper Jones, Mike Hampton and Johnny Estrada. Plus they lost some other players before the season began such as Sheffield, Javy Lopez and Russ Ortiz. Bobby Cox should be named Coach of the Century, in my opinion!

WORST BASEBALL TEAMS

The Royals' losing streak reached 19 games Friday night. Though Kansas City is playing .317 baseball and is on pace to lose 111 games, the Royals still have much work to do to crack the 10 Spot's list of the worst baseball teams ever.

Do you think it is fair for the US to do this even though it is just a game? I have always felt that games were a way of building relationships rather than tearing it down, although this method was also used to bring down apartheid in South Africa, still come on, we are talking baseball here:

CUBA BANNED FROM WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC

NEW YORK (AP) -- The U.S. government is shutting Cuba out of the inaugural World Baseball Classic, citing the standing embargo against the communist island nation.

I agree with you JB. This is ludicrous but hardly surprising from a country desperate to demonise Cuba and punish its people.

Cuba's baseball team has nothing to do with Castro. I honestly believe the Americans are scared of Cuba and don't want to face the potential embarrasment of losing to them. This whole illusion of Cuba being a threat to the US is a joke to everyone but the US Government.

South Africa's apartheid was a completely different scenario to what is happening in Cuba, you can't begin to draw comparisons. And even when it occured sports teams still visited south africa to play rugby, cricket and football. It was just unofficial.

Anyway it will be interesting to see who actually plays in the World Baseball Classic, which is a strange name for a world cup, apart from the US, a couple of Latin American countries and Japan. Baseball is not very popular outside these nations.

I was watching this game on television. Bonds absolutely crushed the ball into the upper deck. Philly fans, who know their baseball, did stand and acknowledge Bond's being one closer to the Babe.
