Don't be suprised at this point if he starts to fall even more...I am sure a team knew that if they really liked him they were going to have to draft him early or shell out money, considering that he either wants enough money or he is going to play football...The MLB draft is all about signability...

Former Moeller star Andrew Brackman remains unsigned by the New York Yankees. No shock there, as most 2007 Major League Baseball first-round draftees remain unsigned.

Brackman, taken in the 1st round by the NY Yankees earlier this month, is a 6-foot-11 RHP who just completed his third year at North Carolina State.

Only a couple of MLB first-rounders have signed. Brackman's father, Mark, told me he doesn't think Andrew will sign until August.

MLB teams have an Aug. 15 deadline to sign all draft selections except college seniors. Clubs that can?t sign their first- or second-round picks will be slotted in for a compensatory pick at the same slot in next year's draft.

Andrew Brackman is represented by Scott Boras. Boras is as big as it gets in the agent business.
"He told us, 'Just trust us, hang in there,' " Mark Brackman said.

I've been unable to reach Andrew Brackman for comment -- "He's at the beach," Mark says. Mark says Andrew has been working out, running and lifting weights. The family is pleased to be in the Yankee fold, Mark said.

"It's cool," Mark said. "We can't wait."

Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, left, celebrates with Troy Tulowitzki after the last out in a 6-4 win that completed the sweep of the Diamondbacks on Monday night.



DENVER -- The bars along Blake and Market streets were still going strong into the early morning yesterday, as Colorado Rockies fans celebrated what only a month ago seemed unfathomable. Inside nearby Coors Field, the Rockies players sprayed Domaine Ste. Michelle champagne around the clubhouse, topped it off with Coors beer and celebrated what only a month ago seemed unfathomable.

Commentary: Rockies have everything to be America's team

Saturday, October 20, 2007 3:29 AM
By Bernie Lincicome

Baseball does not have an America's Team, and it should have one since baseball is America's sport, or so it becomes along about this time of year.

I nominate the Colorado Rockies for the title, even if the Rockies are restricted by name to a single state. It is still better than the New York Yankees, state, city or state of mind.
The Rockies are what America means, or what America should mean, varied and hard working, decent and honorable, upright and compassionate, all of the things that winning a championship just naturally embodies.

So, you're saying that all the Buckeye fans saying that they are going to the Sugar Bowl are delusional as well.

Just trying to sort trolling from validity.

Actually, yes.

How many times have we seen teams up 3-1 lose a series? Quite a bit.
