I'm glad Lee is off the market... there were rumors flying around about the Red Sox being interested in him...
I hate the last days of trading season... Some of the stupid shit I have to listen to...
I'm sure the sox will make some kinda small move, but I just hope they don't do anything stupid

You can't be for TWO teams can you?
Edit: My mistake. It's only one and half. :wink: Hey Twins go from 3 back to 1 back in the span of 20 minutes!

I'm not too familiar with Lidle but he can't be worse than Ponson & Chacon.

I don't know why, but I'm not really worried about this trade...
With Gambi playing first, that weakens the defense, and any time the yankees trade away more prospects from their already depleted farm system is a good thing for a Sox fan...
Abreu tanked last year when the Phillies were making a push for the playoffs... He's power numbers are falling off (Alex Gonsalves our #9 hitter has as many home runs), but Abreu is a career 300 hitter, leads the league (NL) in walks, and has 56 RBI's. The Yankees were probably on of only a few teams to be able to absorb is big payroll too...
It'll be interesting to see how the transistion to the AL goes for him...

Thank you Yankees....This trade does noting for the Phils this year, but gives us the ability to spend during the off season....Yankees fans take note....Abrea never swings at the first pitch...just my little pet peeve with him over the years. He is a good player, but he just doesn't play with heart - or maybe he does and he makes it look easy, in any case - He was a good guy and he will fit in well up in NY.

Reds get pitchers Cormier and Lohse.
Gawd, if there's a name you can use with a Chinese accent, it's Lohse's. LOHHHHH-SEEEEEE!

Good batters generally do not swing at the first pitch......

One of our country's professional sports needs mandatory drunkenness in its rule book. I'm not saying that sport is baseball, but it wouldn't be a bad idea...
