QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) The Royals are 15-9 in their last 24 games. So they are playing better baseball of late. Let's hope they help us out a little. K.C. Just activated Mike MacDougal off of the 60 day DL.

3 words. Flock. Of. Seagulls.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) I was thinking which teams would be looking at Gordon [besides the Yanks]. LA would need him the most. But they also have holes at 3b, their rotation and 2b [isn't Kent hurt?]. The yanks might be next. But they need a bat, and another SP. The sox ony real need is the bullpen. Kent has a strained left Oblique, but according to the LAT was expected to be back in the lineup today. Mueller is out for the season in LA, but currently they're running with Izturis at 3rd. They also have some of their young guys capable of playing there.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) i suck at life That's what Javy was saying at the end of that 2nd inning.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) Don't say I am wrong just because you cannot justify your argument with anything more than "Rob is great, and he can play 3B horribly, but Gload cannot at all!" Or "Damaso didn't get along with Ozzie, so he sucks and has no value!" Did anyone actually even make that argument?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:36 PM) Congratulations, Cincinatti. You're not going to win the division. Fixed. You were one letter off.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Obviously, we'd have to get there first. That wasn't really my point. Actually my point was sort of what Johnny Damon did to Vazquez last time they met up in the playoffs.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) As for Damaso Marte being garbage, he has a 3.17 ERA. Clearly you don't mean to suggest that he has been the recipient of an otherworldly number of good relievers cleaning up for him for the past FIVE YEARS, including this year, in which he has a 2.97 ERA. Idiot or not, Damaso has a damn good arm. Damaso Marte was either one of the best or the best left handed reliever I saw in baseball for 2003. He started downhill in 04, and in 05, through some combination of injuries and being a head case, was just bad for much of the season. He has a damn good arm, if it's healthy and if he doesn't get rattled. But he hasn't been a dominant reliever for a couple years.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:20 PM) So that way he can f*** us up in the World Series. I like it :headshake Johnny Damon says hi.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) I'll bet he doesnt either. But he still got an email from me. The fact that you were interested enough to send an email is all that they want. There is no such thing as bad publicity when your goal is ratings.

If they were willing to consider Milledge, I'd do it in a second. But they've also been unwilling to consider Milledge for Zito.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 01:58 PM) Well, that's up to page 2, now for some reason I can't access the page. But I think that's a pretty fair sampling. Wow, a season with Tony Womack and Royce Clayton, with Rich Aurilia on the bench the whole time. Have they cornered the market on ancient journeyman infielders or what? 'I wonder if SD could be persuaded to take Adam Dunn for Eric Young...' Maybe they're trying to attract Dusty Baker to manage them. Give that man 7 second baseman and he'll be unstoppable.

This says more about the status of the Yankee pitching staff than anything else.

Bets on how long until this is named the "Mariano Rivera" award? Heckuva job Bobby. Keep it up big man.

Full Story.

If the Reds have something else long-term at Shortstop, this trade might make sense for them a few years down the road, as they could wind up with some decent bullpen talent out of it, and that's one area they've been sorely lacking, as we found out. But it's hard for me to see how this won't hurt them this year, especially with the loss of Kearns.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 11, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) How's that situation with the missles in Korea being handled? It's being dealt with in the same manner as people betting on horse races online. (Horse racing having better lobbyists than general internet gambling. Including, until a few months ago, some dude named Jack.)

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 01:12 PM) Congratulations to the NL Central champion St Loius Cardinals... I haven't counted the Brewers out yet.

QUOTE(CardsJimEdmonds15 @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 12:56 PM) - Just announced.. Dont know what the Reds are thinking? Either they're thinking that 1 relief pitcher will make all the difference for them this season, or this is a white flag trade. What's Majewski's contract status for the future?

Yahoo Biz Linky.

Ok, that sure sounds a lot to me like the Reds throwing in the towel for this season. They get 1 reliever back, and they get the guys BA ranked as the Nats' 8 and 10 prospects last offseason. BA on the Nats last November BA on them in 04 Nats top 10 in 04: 5. Brendan Harris, inf 6. Bill Bray, lhp 7. Daryl Thompson, rhp Nats in 05: 8. Bill Bray, lhp 10. Daryl Thompson, rhp

Who are the "Others"?

DirecTV also has receivers with built-in DVR systems available. You pay the fee to DirecTV instead of Tivo. They used to have an actual working agreement to market Tivo through their system, then they came out with their own DVR system.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 12:30 PM) The Tigers wins being there and the stat about the White Sox leading MLB in homers not there?? Considering the Sox are at the top of the league in homers almost every season it seems, how exactly is that an "amazing stat"?

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) After 3 years on the trading block, I'm sure the DRays got as much as they could for Huff, and probably wanted to get him out of there after suffering on the block for so long. The could have gotten vastly more for him 1-2 years ago, but they were holding out for the moon/Scott Kazmir again.
