Really excited for tomorrow's *hopeful* craziness. Winter Meetings and Trade Deadline are some of my favorite times in baseball.

Reed Johnson and Paul Maholm to the Braves.

Nice game for Stoner....and that's about it....

THANK YOU. Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin Santiago will work in a starting role and stretch out a bit

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) cubs are almost better off holding onto him, offering him a one-year tender in the offseason, then hoping he turns them down and picking up a pick. of course, he could take the tender and then they'll be in the same position next year. Actually, I believe due to the CBA changes and abolishment of the Type-A and Type-B rankings, the Cubs would get TWO early picks if they offer Demp arb and he signs elsewhere. They would get the pick from the team that signed him, and a supplemental pick. So essentially two 1st RD picks. That's all assuming he doesn't accept arb though, and signs w/ a new team. Which if he really wants to come back, then that's all moot anyway.

Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein Heard that Zach Lee, Allen Webster and Chris Reed are all off the table in any Dempster talks. Dempster is just butt-pumping the Cubs now.... Those 3 top arms for the Dodgers were ranked their #1, #2, and #5 prospects pre-season. Could have had Randall Delgado, now they are going to get stuck with Josh Lindblom.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Source: #Cubs "trying to bend over backwards" to get Dempster to #Dodgers, his desired team. Talks continue. Oh man, Demspter may have REALLY screwed them over.

They better move him in to the rotation at AAA.

Thought Liriano would pitch today. So when does Liriano debut? Wednesday?

First "great" episode of the BB season for me. I love that they are cooking again, and this new plan should be interesting. I have a feeling they brought up the first house having a "nanny cam" because that may come in to play later. Also, at the end, Walt was talking about Mike right? About "flying too close to the sun"?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 10:28 PM) Greg Paiml ‏@GP_3 Got picked up by the White Sox, looks like I'm going to be a Birmingham Baron again -- Looks like this man will be joing the Barons, kudos to JoeCoolMan Wait, what did I do?

Just made some huge trades in fantasy. I just traded Chris Sale for Mark Trumbo (REAAAALLY need power, have tons of pitching, worried about Sale getting hurt/shut down). Then I traded Gio Gonzalez, Jose Reyes, and Jon Jay for Andrew McCutchen and Jimmy Rollins. Rollins and Reyes are pretty much even. Jon Jay is worthless (would have been dropped by me), and Gio Gonzalez has not been good since June 1st. I get more power w/ McCutchen, and good average. I think I did a helluva job.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) I love watching Rogers and Dalhausser. Oh yeah, those dudes are awesome.

Wow Dunn. Just spiked the ball in to the ground. Despite 2 unearned runs, Gavin really SHOULD have given up like 4 or 5 by now. We are lucky it's only 2-0.

Snodgress must LOVE Winston-Salem. He was decent at Kanny, but beasting it at W-S. So far in High-A..... 12 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 17 K, 0.75 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 12.75 K/9, 2.25 BB/9, 5.67 K/BB Obviously only 12 IP, but VERY encouraging start for the 22-year-old

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 01:45 PM) Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox Sox purchase contract of INF Rey Olmedo from Charlotte I think it's spelled "Ray", but either way, a terrible 31-year-old IF who hasn't been in the majors since....2006 maybe?

How odd...... Ray Olmedo is the Sox call-up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) I....I can't even figure out what I just watched. Will definitely wait until it's been out in the theaters for a while to see if I want to spend the $5 on seeing it.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) Any chance in the world the Rangers would trade Hamilton given his slump and contract ending? If they were out of the playoff picture, absolutely. But they aren't going to trade a guy who can completely carry this team.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) Why don't we hit doubles? 29th in MLB Because our ballpark is not condusive to extra bases, a lot of doubles at other parks are HR in the Cell, and we have a pretty slow line-up, maybe one of the slowest in baseball.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) I still wish we had traded him to Texas or Boston. Yeah yeah yeah, hindsight.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) I think it might be time to move on from Zunes my friend. Sony's released a few Android-powered Walkmans with Tegra 2 processors. You probably should have taken a look at those. Samsung also sells Galaxy players for nearly the same price you got your used Zune. Both are probably better and more modern alternatives. I looked in to other options, but the Zune interface is so great and easy to use, the software is beautiful, the size is nice and small, and I already had the cords from it, I just decided to go back to it. I considered those new Walkmans, but didn't pull the trigger on them.

Replaced my stolen 16 GB Zune HD with a 32 GB Zune HD bundle that came w/ wall charger, TV dock, HDMI cable, AV cables, and remote control for $150 used off Craigslist. Unreal that those things sell for over $400 brand new now. I even saw a 16gb 1st gen Zune that was selling for $200+ online brand new. Prices have skyrocketed since production seized.
