Sure, the starters are in a funk...but, what starting pitcher that was moved at the deadline is heads-over-heals better than the ChiSox's current starting 5...?

Need a good arm on the mound every 5 days. But, sorry to se Izzy go. Great fielder. You guys in Chitown will enjoy watching this guy at SS.

This year's was one of the least interesting trade deadlines in quite some time. Of all the names that were being thrown around, I was expecting some big deals, but nothing. No moves for Zito, Soriano, Smoltz, Oswalt, etc. This was lame.

Dodgers weren't playing around picking up Maddox & Lugo, definate thumbs up on that.

Who cares as long as Chacon is gone..Anyone want Pavano will trade Pavano for a slice of pizza and a coke

Ok so let me get this straight. Do big league managers not read scouting reports? Do they forget to read the part that says not to pitch to Big Papi in the 9th?
Go Sox!!

AL MVP?

Every time you Yankees fans get hold of first place for a day or two we have to listen to it, then you cough it right back over to us. Like the last time you were in first place. How long did that last? And I had a mailbox full of shit talking. Lame. Act like you've been there.

So, it'll all be good again.

AD it's all in fun, all that matters is the last game of the season and the Yanks & Red Sox are tied and the loser goes home.

Happy?

Washington Nationals held on to Soriano in his contract year. Whatever, they think they can re-sign him. Otherwise they just got hozed. Lot of the rich teams wanted him, cannot believe they didn't get some good offers. GM Bowden said a starting pitcher was a must.

They should know that they need to make moves with a guy in what really is a contract year.
He has had the top 5 best 2 and 1/2 year run in history. IMO a world series title for Hou if Garner was not the coach.
Incidentally, what is the record for wussy offensive run support to a pitcher?

Meh. The Prima Donna that Clemens is could've signed with the BoSox when he was taking his merry time to get ready for the season as a free agent. He chose to sign back with the Astros...so, to be honest, why is this McLane's fault? If Clemens really wanted to be with a contender that had a real legit shot at winning again, he should've gone to Boston, NY (no, wait...I take that back. ), or Chicago...?
