Brandini lost his speed and couldn't cover the outfield as well as in the past... wouldn't be surprised if the Racers lose a couple more this season... shortstop Jameson Mulbert is 38, third baseman Teddy Stonich is 35 and left fielder Jean-Luc Roubique is 34.
Yep, the Rolling Hills' dynasty may soon be over.
It was sad to watch Willie Mays in his last few seasons... he overstayed his welcome... Pujols has done a decent job with the Dodgers... really surprised me... but he really should have retired... I hope Miguel Cabrera retires this year... he got his 500th homer... really, really hope he can get hot and get the last 20-30 hits to reach 3,000.
Cabrera went 4 for 4 yesterday... HOW ABOUT THAT!

I've had some nice dynasties in my own IPA - they usually last around 4-5 seasons, maybe 6, then suddenly, poof! They're gone. Players get old pretty quick.
Yeah, Miggy is definitely not the same guy he used to be, he should definitely retire. Pujols can play another year, maybe two.
