I bet Pence is pretty happy with that trade, talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse.

 

No no i am very proud that my Mets are playing gritty baseball. Believe me, i am like all the rest of the other Mets fan in the tri-state area: a PESSIMIST. or rather PessiMets

...wouldn't it be nice if the Mets actually were a few games out of the wild card in Sept. and Johan comes back to true form?? someone pinch me...wake me up!

Ichiro, great player, HOF bound but he said some stupid stuff during WBC and instantly I lost ALL respect for him.

 

man, Houston brass and Philly brass must be real close...last year was Oswalt and now Pence? I understand they didn't even give up their best prospects? someone correct me if im wrong i heard that over the radio coming into work...

 

I think they will hang in at about 6-7 games out of the Wild Card. The reality is that the METS are 50-38 since their 5-13 start and this was done with missing Ike, David, Pagan, Jose and well....Jason Bay just sucks.

They have over performed. I think that they are a 83-79 team which is what I signed up for in Spring Training. But they are playing better than that.

 

Ed Wade was in the Phillies organization, so yes.

Beginning to resemble the Yankees and the Athletics in the 50s.

 

Wow the Tribe are actually making a strong push for the playoffs...they just got Ubaldo from Colorado. Not bad Cleveland, not bad at all...

 

Braves get Michael Bourne

Cardinals get Rafael Furcal

Indians get Ubaldo Jimenez & Ryan Ludwick

Pirates get Derrek Lee

Giants get Orlando Cabrera

DBacks get Jason Marquis

 

CORRECTION Pirates get Ludwick

Red Sox get Erik Bedard in 3-team deal

 

Been trying to catch up with all the football and baseball news from this weekend

Definitely a strange trade deadline week...props to the Rangers.


I'm a little miffed that the Reds didn't unload free-agent-to-be Ramon Hernandez (even though he's been nothing but great since he got here)...how many people could use a .300 hitting veteran catcher with some power? We have Ryan Hanigan co-starting now and a former #1 pick named Devin Mesoraco tearing it up in AAA.

It was obvious the Mets sweeping us turned us from buyers to neutral...then we turn around and sweep the Giants

 

Seems like a bad deal to me, considering what they gave up and the risks involved. I understand they control him for a few more years and he's not costing them too much, but still. They gave up a lot of talent, and he might be the next Erik Bedard.

Plus they've been fading consistently lately

 

Must've missed this...what did he say?

 

Trade deadline has passed and the Cubs are still anchored by their awful contracts.


Nice to see the rest of the League is not as retarded as the Cubbies' and taking on the bad contracts of bad players.

 

This is what is making me happy as a Met fan. As good as K-Rod and Beltran are, we had to get rid of their brutal contracts. Getting a A+ pitching prospect in return was icing on the cake.

 

Zipit...your baseball team is not permanently cursed.

 

hmmmm Beltran isn't doing good at all with the Giants and getting sweep by the Reds is sad

 

Bye bye Furcal

I am on the fence on this trade. He is a great player and is was an important player for the Dodgers, but his injuries have put a damper on his ability to do what he does best. However, Dee Gordon is a great up and coming player and performed pretty well in the absence of Furcal. Plus, the dude is a rabbit on the bases and can steal at will. I am just glad we didn't get rid of Either or Kemp.

 

Derick Lee looks like a great pickup for the Pirates, too bad the rest of his team blows

 

The Pirates are better now then they have been in a long time, maybe Lee will give them the boost that they need.

 

5 game losing streak, I hope he does

 

Am I the only one that has hated La Russa for a very long time?

 

No. Fuck TLR.

 

make that 7

I've hated him since I was a child

 

x2
lol he's so hated and so respected it's not even funny how neither balances out!

is it time for his departure in STL? what's the general thought out there with Card fans?

 

Giants = PUSSIES

 

Steal a base with a huge lead and you're asking to get plunked.

 

It's pretty split out here with Cards fans (I'm not one), but his act is running thin.
He probably won't last much longer.

 

Carlos Zambrano needs to take a few cases of "chill-pills."

F'in Marlins demote Logan Morrison. A fan favorite and huge Twitter following. Prob not the best PR move. Maybe bench him or something for whatever he did because it wasn't his .240 average that got him sent down.

 

@ Carlos Zambrano...WTF.

 

I was at that game. It was fucking awesome.

 

Where Z walked out on the Cubs...?


Freaking disgrace, that's what. Wow, how low can this team sink...?

 

He's never been to a HR Derby, so he decided to hold his own.

Second pitch to Uggs, he went yard. 32 games on my 32nd birthday.

 

Twins trade Delmon Young to the Tigers for minor leaguer Cole Nelson and a PTBNL.

and Jim Thome on #600

 

Hendry out as GM for Cubs: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...,5365962.story

Whoever is left to pick up the pieces...? GOOD LUCK.

 

Best move they've made in years IMO.

Assistant General Manager Randy Bush has been named Interim General Manager.

 

Yankees are the first team in history to get 3 grandslams in one game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally something to be happy about in this dismal series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if they can hang on and win the game??????

 

it was a close one

 

Anyone catch the Rockies-Dodgers game last night? I think that was one of the worst officiating efforts I've seen all season, calling two balks in one inning when it was fairly clear neither of the pitchers they called them on had started their delivery. Just another setback in what was an outstanding performance by Esmil Rogers.

 

Rays still showing resolve, and there's time left to pull it off....Go Rays!

 

I'm going to that dump Fenway Park tonight to see if the Sox can lay a in their last reg season home game.

At least they're Pavilion Club seats or else I would have declined them. Ive never had a dress code for a game before though
