  • Britton is back up, likely just holding a spot until Bruney is ready. What happened to my guy Albaladejo? Was his injury a season ender?

    Moeller DFA'd. He'll likely end up in Columbus

    Alberto Gonzalez from the Yankees to the Nationals for RHP Johnny Nunez, a big (6'3 185) young (22) pitcher

  • Manny to the Dodgers. Jason bay, who was one of baseballs top young players a few years ago before a disappointing 2007 (when he was on my fantasy team) to Boston.

    Long term, I think its a good move for Boston. I can see Bay flourishing in Boston a lot like Lowell. And he is still young and less of a distraction than Manny. All that said, when the Yanks are playing the Sox, I'll feel better with Bay at the plate than Manny. Manny has been nothing but clutch his whole career and I've never been happy to see him come to bat whether it was with Cleveland or Boston.

    Nice to see we picked up a couple of prospects for Hawkins and Gonzalez.

    After reading comments and listening to Cashman's press conference on the I-Rod deal, it seems pretty clear that Farnsworth was very well liked.

    Pudge shoud do ok for us in the playoffs esp. Im happy with that move and getting rid of that scrub Farnsworth. We still need a top notch starter tho.

    Bay like BRI said is gonna prolly be awesome in Boston. Big difference in attitudes and in the locker room

    and the Dodgers with Manny?? who knows how thats gonna work with Torre. Joe's been pretty good over the yrs with the outcasts and bringing the best out of them like Sierra, Darryl, etc...

    1 gm behind the Sox, 3 behind 1st..lets GOOOO YANKEES!!!!
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

    yeah. it turned out he had a fracture in addition to whatever else was wrong with his elbow.

    He'll probably give Andruw Jones protection.

    we're 4 back as of today, and this score thus far is not helping the matter!

    Edit: Gosh darnit. I do not like the angels. Plus they have Torii Hunter now? Geesh!

    How does the home plate ump miss that call? I hope instant reply will be used for that. But I think it's only for HRs.

    Idk but it was a bad call. But on the replay they can slow it down... when it happens bam bam like that, I don't know. He wasn't looking too closely perhaps.
    not like it matters all that much unless they start to mount a massive comeback.

    blech.

    I do not like the Angels. :(

    Yea but that kinda killed the rally. I saw that he was safe before the replay. Ah well. hopefully we'll shut em out tomorrow.

  • 3 SB's for the Halos? Bring back Molina!!!!

    The 3 3 run homers didn't help much either
  • Just another...Halo victory!!!!
  • rival.rival. Chicago Posts: 7,775
    3, 3 run homers. salt in an open wound.

    pettitte was so close to getting out of the 3rd. 6 runs with two outs.

    thought the whole team played like shit. long 4 game series, lets see if they can turn this around tomorrow.
  • Victor Zambarno signed to a minor league deal. Quick, trade him for Scott Kazmir. maybe the Mets want him back, for Pelfrey, or Niese......

    Seriously though, could you imagine if they somehow got this guy to pitch well? How much would that piss off Met fans? (I know that it's not gonna happen, just saying.......)

  • I'm being sent to Green Bay for Brett Favre, straight up.

    something like that

    yep, his 0-6 with a 9.45 ERA in his 14 appearances apparently didn't cut the mustard..
