Good grief, ESPN SportsCenter this morning must have dedicated 10 minutes to the game, and even had Pedro Gomez there to report on the series. It shows how much of a joke ESPN is when they barely recognize our series and Mets/Marlins as anything special.

Good trade for the Angels. Gave up very little to get Tex. I like Kotchman, but don't see him becoming a super star, but serviceable.

The New York Post believes the Red Sox and Dodgers are still talking about a deal that would send Manny Ramirez to Los Angeles, with the cash to cover his salary, in return for Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier. Boston would likely prefer Kemp, who is both more talented and a better fit for a lineup that would get awfully lefty heavy with Ethier. Of course, it's possible they'd just flip the one they received to the Braves as part of a Mark Teixeira deal. The most likely scenario has nothing getting done at all. For what it's worth, no one in Boston or Los Angeles has suggested there's much going on here. FOXSports.con's Ken Rosenthal believes the Dodgers are focusing on landing a shortstop.

My face on the 1 dollar bill.

Everyone who says Entourage or Scrubs is wrong. I used to watch Friends religiously but when I see it on in syndication, I hate it. I like some reality shows like Apprentice, Survivor, and Amazing Race. I even watch Big Brother in the summer cuz nothing else is on except baseball. The reality shows on MTV and VH1 are brutal and dumb down society.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) Everybody Loves Raymond Yes! My parents love this show but I never got it. Maybe cuz I'm not married.

I know we had the list of best TV shows, but how about some of the most overrated. Comedy, drama, whatever. I never got into Home Improvement. It seemed like it was the same jokes every show. Although when nothing else is on and it is on in syndication, I'll watch it. Never liked Murphy Brown either.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Holy crap. I think I know this guy.

Was it close to going out? My MLB.TV picture was kinda fuzzy. Saw enough of Soriano's hop where he almost mistimed it. Durham should definitely be starting over Weeks.

Walking Fontenot was idiotic.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) I love Maryse even more now, I was lookin at this thing on WWE.com and her favorite song is by my favorite band! That Summer Skin pictorial she did was dynamo. Too bad she is mine. Stick with Kelly Kelly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) I still don't understand why the A's just gave up Gaudin. He would have looked lovely on our roster. Especially now. I guess Beane really wanted that minor league catcher.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) haha, anyone else see they hired Freddy Prinze Jr to be on the creative team for WWE Sarah Michelle Gellar for Divas Champion!

Yikes. TB, Boston, and NY all lost.

Yost lucked out right there. 2 lefties in a row and left Gagne in.

Shouse should be facing Ward.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) Gagne in to face the Cubs? Like Dr. Sam Beckett coined, "Oh boy!"

Anyone else taking the Cubs/Brew talk to the Cubs thread in DC?

Rickie Weeks may not be in a Brewers uni next year.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:27 PM) Unfortunately we probably blew our best chance to win tonight, and got killed while doing so. Tomorrow we got Richard going...so yeah, this series isn't exactly setting up well in the least bit, but we shall see I'm not totally down on Richard. Defense could of picked him up a bit and gave up some 2 out runs. Cut down on that mixed with the Twins not nearly being as good offensively as Texas, and he could give us a shot.

I don't know whether to think Russell Branyan is garbage or just an amazing HR hitter.

His wife works a lot with White Sox charities. Does that count?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) So Reed Johnson has one of the most illegal slides you'll ever see, and there's no interference call. He didn't even slide until past the base, and he hit Weeks well above the knees. I hate that steroid bastard. I didn't notice anything bad about the slide. I did notice Weeks cringing like a girl before short arming the throw.
