I hope it's the A's. They come to Chicago for four next week. Awkward....

With 27 Games left for each team.... 1. Tex 53-82 2. Hou (Aiken for now) 3. Col 54-81 4. Arz 56-79 5. Hou 57-78 6. Min 59-76 7. Bos 59-76 8. Sox 61-74 9. Cubs 61-74 10. Phi 62-73 11. NYM 63-72 Let's see how many of these teams play the final 27 at 10-17 or worse. Last year was ridiculous for tanking.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 07:34 AM) I would think Dunn would waive it for a chance to compete? /fingerscrossed He better. It's looking like he's gone sometime in the next 15 hours.

Peavy...6 outs away.

Orioles got Kelly Johnson in a trade too. Jemile Weeks moves on again.

Montas 5 IP, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 1 bb, 1 k 60 pitches

Woo. Viciedo!

26 hours. Bye Dunn.

Didn't Contreras and Thome leave on the same night? We got time tomorrow.

Blackmar was a year or two older than Courtney Hawkins at the same high school.

Somebody on twitter with 1200+ followers tweeted that he hears Adam Dunn could be going to Oakland soon. We'll see...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Someone has to come off the 40 man. Adam Dunn sounds good.

Also the Sox don't have a game on Monday, so there's no point in making call ups official until Tuesday 9/2. With the Dunn/Konerko/Abreu coverage at DH/1B, there's no point in bringing Wilkins up for tomorrow other than something actually happening. Just my humble opinion.

Rodon probably done. 5 inn, 7 hits, 2 er, 3 bb, 7 k, 1 hbp 81 pitches-48 strikes.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 07:42 PM) Why does someone have to be getting traded? Maybe they are just giving Wilkins these last couple days off before the rosters expand on Sept. 1st as a reward for a tremendous season? I mean, I hope there is a trade, but twitter is dead right now on the rumor front. Charlotte has 3 games left. He was in the lineup tonight, and got scratched. Something is up.

I'm thinking postgame announcement. Dunn somewhere. That Seth Lakso guy in Charlotte is staying quiet.

Now 2nd and 3rd, nobody out.

It would be pretty cool if this is the last inning of minor league baseball Rodon ever pitches. (Other than a rehab assignment) 70th pitch goes for a single.

69 pitches. A WHIP over 2 tonight, but only 1 run. Whatever works.
