    Strasburg Mania reaches towards insanity

    I get tired of seeing espn follow this guy. The rangers have a guy who throws just as hard and is in his second year in the bigs. About the only difference between the two is feliz isnt a millionaire.

      Sports news and national news is celebrity news.

        Just notice on ESPN, FoxSports, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News how it's not what's said so much as who says it that constitutes a debate or article. Something mundane is said, but since it's Brett Favre or Terrell Owens who said it it's an entire article. As I said, it's celebrity news.

          ESPN is a joke for a network. They are just a bunch of red sox fans and dont know anything about sports.

            One of many reasons why I don't ever, ever watch ESPN.

              i think they are jumping the gun on him. alot of pitchers who look like future stars do not last ala kerry wood, mark prior, etc. It is like they did with Lebron before he went pro, hype, hype, hype. The difference is baseball players especially pitchers are much harder to project then basketball players. This kid could blow out his arm or simply not be able to handle big league hitters.

                I saw Stasburg pitch at Reading back in April when he was with Harrisburg and I was amazed with this guy that night. I saw Aroldis Chapman pitch at Scranton at the end of April and also on May 19th at Lehigh Valley and was not as impressed with him.

                On a side note, several years ago I saw Phil Hughes when he was pitching in the minors and was impressed with him. He got injured and has not been great with the Yankees so anything can happen.

                    Not as much as I am of Lebron James. He could throw up, and ESPN would show highlight after highlight, and would priad him for how awesome he was doing it.

                        For following baseball in general, I much prefer the MLB Network to ESPN.

                          Definately. It seems like the people on ESPN don't really know anything about the sports they talk about.

                            I was really surprised to see a Nationals fan with a Nationals team Strasburg jersey. He said he bought it at the team shop. This is the first time I've ever heard of a team marketing a players jersey before he was even called up.

                              Wait a sec....we have a Yankees fan complaining about ESPN's bias toward another team?? What's the world coming to?

                              ESPN should get it over with and rename itself the Yankees/Red Sox Network. Pencil them in, Yanks or Sox every Sunday and Monday. Yanks/Sox nearly every time they play a series together. Btw, Yanks vs. Sox is easily the most overrated rivalry in sports.
