you can disregard everything i said about coke and kontos. That's because the trade has been changed to include Dan McCutchen and Jeff Karstens.

WTF??? how does that happen? :mad:

I just saw that on ESPN What's that all about? Was it a mistake by whoever first reported Kontos and Coke, or did The Pirates get cold feet and ask for more? Karstens isn't a big deal, but mcCutcheon is supposed to be very good

Yankee Trivia time:

Marte was originially a Yankee minor leaguer, until being dealt to the Pirates for:

I only know because I just read it while looking into why the 2 pitchers were changed

it was no mistake. the pirates backed off after ESPN spent the entire night whining and bitching about how the yankees didn't give up enough.

now ESPN is saying they're close to getting Washburn. They better not give up a lot.

are any mbl players going to china next month to play in the olympics......

I saw that last night on the ESPN ticker. That just seems like a bizarre rule for baseball. I know why they are doing it, but it's still strange.

All the Olympians will be minor leaguers or college players. No one from the Yankee system was invited to try outs. Here is the roster. They are playing their final warm up games down here next week against Canada. I think I may try to check out a game.


I'm happy with the trade. They gave up a lot of young guys, but they have developed a lot of depth down there. Nady and Marte should help a lot. Nady in the lineup today!

Nice to see Joba finally get a win last night. They still aren't scoring runs for him, but last night was a big time pitchers duel as expected.

Fighting Hellfish

it's funny how teams don't score for certain pitchers. Since being traded to the Cubs, Rch Harden has made 3 starts. 17.1 IP, 2 ER, 30 K's. He's 0-1. If he had gotten a win in either start this week, I'd have wrapped up a win in my fantasy league.

nice!

fuck I didnt think Nady would play today...dunno if I should replace him with Magglio. My fantasy outfield is pretty disgusting, Carlos Quentin, Ryan Ludwick, Magglio O. Ichiro for runs and steals and Nady

wtf do I start today?? lol

Rumor is that it will mostly be a salary dump by the M's with the Yanks taking on most of his contract. If that is the case, they wont have to give up much in return. Buster Olney is saying it should happenwithin the next 48 hrs.

I think I'd start Nady over Ludwick, just because Fenway's a better hitters park than Shea, and he'll likely have good protection in the order

Fighting Hellfish

what the fuck were they thinking giving him so much money? He was coming off an 8-8 year when they signed him, (after 2005) and his best year ever was 3 years prior to that (2002, 18-6)

when I heard his name bandied about, I thought he could only help them as a lefty in the pen. With marte, they don't need taht now, at least not at $10 mil per

mannn
I hate taking out ludwick cause hes such a beast and the times I did it bit me in the ass. He belted like 2homers 3 runs scored and like 4 ribbies. Him and Quentin I leave in ...I usually swap Mags, with Ich for steals and Nady for power.oh well too late now..games started

come ON jeter on 3rd..bring him in A!

Fighting Hellfish

I have Quentin too. Off the waiver wire, and he's one of my top guys on my team, and I drafted Holliday, Soriano, Granderson, and Abreu. Quentin's probably got more points than all of them

same here..no one knew about Carlos early..so I had Abreu and he sucked so I dropped him and picked up Quent. I missed my draft so autodraft gave me Abreu, Ich and Magglio, Ludwick off the wire too


also found Mark Reynolds at 3rd on waivers
ah fuckers down 2-0 :mad:

stickboy

we still trying to get rid of Cano??
uh



no thank you

tie game bitches...here come the yankees! Nice leadoff shot Robby


multiple hits in 7 of 8 games and hitting safely in 8..not bad

UPDATE, 2:54 p.m.: Brett Gardner was optioned to Scranton. LaTroy Hawkins was DFA’d. Also, Kei Igawa had cleared waivers and was taken off the 40-man. So they’re at 39 now. Plenty of room for Jarrod Washburn.




bases loaded..........no outs........top of the order.......gotta blow this thing open now
