Q BOMB!

Single by Paulie, corners 1 out!

Double for Alex scores Juan!

Vizquel fails to get him over, first with a bunt then with too shallow of a fly.

We catch a break there.

Fair ball, easy double!

AJ and Peavy having some communication problems. 1 out.

House is packed.

Kenny on CSN right now.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) BAH! I was hoping no one would ask me that. Can I give a cop-out answer and say it largely depends upon how some of these guys who will be available are playing at the deadline? Because the names I'd really want aren't all that realistic whether it be they're not available or too expensive from a financial/talent perspective making a possible trade either impossible or not at all worth it? My top 2 would be Fielder and Dunn but they fit into the latter category especially Dunn who's almost definitely not getting traded regardless of where the Nationals are in the standings. Adam LaRoche would be a decent but, I wouldn't lose my mind with excitement but I'd feel as though we made a very solid upgrade to the lineup. Luke Scott would be ok but once again not all that exciting. Berkman's gotta show something before the end of July otherwise I really don't want anything to do with him. I want NOTHING to with Ty Wigginton, I'll just say that now. But those are just the names that are out there now, these will change in the next month or so, players will fall off, others with get hot and who knows who will fall out of contention making more bats available. I guess I'm holding out hope that Kenny will shock me and get a true impact guy that either I'm not thinking of or don't believe we could acquire. In the end though I suppose my guy would be LaRoche due to promise of future production and cost. Great answer, I wasn't sure if I should ask if the game thread but we have some time to kill. I simply can't imagine Kenny pulling a deal for Prince, and the way it looks the player that should be aquired should be mostly DH/1B both Dunn/LaRoche fit that profile.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:40 PM) Get me Cliff Lee and Prince Fielder or give me death! HAH! It was nice 'kinda' knowing you.

Who's pumped, and many talked about this matchup before the season.. Peavy vs Zambrano, both competitors! Things could get hot today!

I feel like I started this, but all I was doing is bringing up greg's name for good luck reasons! We're rolling right now, time to beat up on the Cubbies.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) It was hypothetical. Well isn't everything hypothetical till papers are signed though?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) His youth...though I do agree, I would have taken him at #8. Also, none of those teams had a glaring hole at SG as much. 1. Wizards - PG John Wall 2. 76ers - SG Evan Turner 3. Nets - PF Derrick Favors 4. Timberwolves - SF Wesley Johnson 5. Kings - C DeMarcus Cousins 6. Warriors - PF Ekpe Udoh 7. Pistons - PF Greg Monroe 8. Clippers - SF Al-Farouq Aminu 9. Jazz - SF Gordon Hayward 10. Pacers -SF Paul George 11. Hornets - C Cole Aldrich 12. Grizzlies - SG Xavier Henry 13. Raptors - PF Ed Davis So, Bosh's replacement? Jalen Rose tweets that Raports taking Davis is setting up for Bosh leaving.

This WHAT I THINK happens here: Hinrich a done deal, Deng to Kings to shed salary. Bulls are going for Joe Johnson who said will take a discount to play with Bron, LeBron and Bosh get max contracts. Rose/JJ/Noah/Bosh/LeBron

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) Source? Take that back, I think he will be a Sacramento King.

I'm hearing Deng will be a Sacramento King come July 1st.

Cubs still going 13th inning in Seattle. Hopefully they will come back nice and tired?

Chipper Jones apparently had some nice things to say: "That team right there is the best we've played this month." He goes on to call Sox bullpen "dynamite." Adding "they're the first team I've seen that can shorten a game to 6 innings."

Deng to Clippers for #8 straight up?

Well, we are going to know more depending on who Clippers select today!

I'm being told by my friend the Hinrich + 17 trade doesn't shed enough salary to pursue two maximum contracts. Can someone explain?
