This was quite an appropriate topic. Well done, knight.

It was obvious after this deal that the Padres would be happy with their return. Even though we couldn't trust Clayton to go 7 on a day to day basis and Poreda was going to be a reliever in the AL Central, they should both be above average pitchers in the NL and Petco Park. I have a feeling both teams will be happy with this one when all is said and done.

Funny People... awesome for first hour and a half, then takes a pointless turn and spends the final 50 minutes or so making no sense and totally changing its direction. A bit disappointed, but still enjoyed it. There were a lot of very funny parts.

Axelrod: "The improvement [on the ankle] is remarkable. No swelling, no pain, he's got a greenlight to withstand whatever he can withstand. He's throwing off the mound first thing tomorrow in San Diego. He could do a few more sessions and then a couple rehab starts and be ready to go." Seconds ago on ESPN 1000.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:14 PM) I like how the Red Sox getting Martinez is bigger than us getting Peavy according to ESPN. healthy player vs injured player

I guarantee that when the deal was rejected, when everyone was saying positive things about the other side, that it was agreed upon that if an NL club didn't offer by 2:59 they'd resubmit the same paperwork and Peavy would waive the clause.

PEAVY INJURY STATUS Boot is off... so I give it a month?

BUT HOW LONG IS HE OUT FOR?!

QUOTE (3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) Detroit and Minny, there's your f***ing answer Yeah, he's only injured and collectively hated by White Sox fans already. Haha.

At least I didn't trash this.

Bruce Levine just said Poreda, Richard are involved in a 4-1 deal. Peavy has waived his no trade clause.

He costs a s***ton of money for a 4th outfielder and he's a huge tool who didn't listen to coaches. He hit one f***ing homerun on us and this thread starts? Please, mods, kill it yesterday.

Canseco came out and said it was not Rickey Henderson about whom he was speaking.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 01:57 PM) But one of those years he was a 20 win ace for a WS champion. That tips the scales just a tad. Shhhhhhhhh, we can't look beyond fantasy stats!

Ha, we're not going to get Heath Bell. The Padres are asking for an out-of-the-world return on him. They asked for either Andrew Miller or Cameron Maybin from the Marlins.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 10:45 AM) Wonder if Seattle would deal Ichiro.... They would not.

It just keeps getting better! The Red Wings have been getting away with this s*** for years...

It's times like this I wish I hadn't deleted that Rally Dweezy I created.

Why am I not surprised?

Hawk really likes the way the ball comes off the bat of Kotsay the last two days. Jeez.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) Sure and just magically the bad hitters on the team will begin hitting like him. OMG YOU = LAWLZ!!! WHERE CAN I GET YOUR COMEDY CASSETTE TAPE!?

Seriously... Gordon for Hitting Coach.
