Pardon me if this was mentioned already but does Dunn have a no trade clause?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) Today's lineup: Pierer LF, Ramirez SS, Rios CF, Konerko 1B, Quentin RF, Kotsay DH, Pierzynski C, Viciedo 3B, Beckham 2B - Floyd P. Yay, he's alive! We'll probably see the home plate ump pull out his brush and dust off Dayan in his first at bat

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) Yes, recently with the Pierre and Teahen deals. Damn. I'm sporting a boner at work now. Too bad I'm only wearing a thong.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) not happy, unless hudson isnt part of the deal OR we extend Dunn for at least 3 years Or if we go 11-0 in the post season this year.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Who...? Dewayne Wise

Nicely stated wite.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) Danks1 + Danks2 + Viciedo + Santos for Fielder - would you do it? Might be easy for some people to say yes since he just pitched a dud the other day but I want to hold onto D1.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) MB giving up 3 ER in 6.1 IP wasn't the problem last night. If this team's bad nights are 3 runs given up, then the pitching staff is more than fine. We need a f***ing bat, to replace the failed Kotsay/Jones experiment. I didn't post that quote to imply that we lost because of Mark. Was just an alarming thing to read IMO. And hell yes we need to end the dreadful DH debacle!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Why did Japan have a defender who has never scored an international goal taking one? Ozzie Guillen is their coach.

Buehrle and Flowers for Prince Fielder. Would you do it?

So how badly does the injury affect the Tigers? Are the Twins and Sox the front runners with a big piece of the Tiger bullpen out for the year or does Detroit manage, kind of like the Twins have without Nathan?

"Buehrle hasn't beaten an AL team since his second start of the season on April 11." Ouch

I actually waited on the guy many years ago.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 11:13 AM) Really? That's the sports bar sponsor? Man, I've been gone too long. No I'm just being a dork.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) Oh, I'm sure things are still sponsored, but when one sponsor pulls out and you have to find another...there's a good chance they won't be paying the same rate. Just look at the Peter Francis Geraci Bullpen Bar as a perfect example.

I talked to a friend yesterday and he said the Cubs would wind up with a better record than the Sox this year. I offered a $5K bet and he declined.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:49 AM) He's more than capable of being a top notch defender though. But we already had a Brian Anderson on the roster and everyone got fed up with the poor offensive numbers.

Would be cool to see a big bat added right before the Rangers and Angels series. I think it would give the team a huge lift and relieve a little pressure off the starting pitching.

^^^HAHA Awesome post

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) He basically matched his career numbers with them. He was also consistently being pitched around to get to Reynolds and Tracy who did next to nothing in the final 2 months of the season in '08, Dunn's walk rate with the D-Backs was nearly 30%. So I guess he'd get some nice pitches hitting between Rios and Paulie.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:06 AM) Is anyone here concerned about Dunn's strike outs and decreasing walk rate? Plus the .276 batting average is the highest of his career. Yes. I'd like to see Kenny pursue someone else that won't cost us Hudson and Flowers.

Beckham

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) At the end of August my wife and I will be married for 5 years. I am trying to think of a good way to celebrate. My parents agreed to take our two daughters for the evening, but an out of town trip is out of our price range (I really wanted to do a weekend to Disney World). I thought about a dinner and movie, but that seems lame for a 5th anniversary. Any ideas for a small budget celebration (under $100)? My wife would leave me if I suggested that for our 5 year anniversary. How about dinner at Alinea? EDIT: Whoops. Just noticed the $100 limit so scratch that.

I know this is insensitive but my first thoughts were "The Tigers just got a smidge less dangerous".
