Cook has a two-run bomb too.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) What do you mean a lefty for Betemit? Like a LOOGY? Betemit has no trade value right now. You're better off finding a LOOGY on the waiver wire. Hell, Breslow was claimed a few days ago. As long as the guy can throw the ball across the plate with his left-hand i'm game. It's very telling that other then Poreda our best lefty in the minors is Wes Whisler.

If this Peavy fiasco has taught us anything it's that we're probably going to draft pitchers. Most likley a lefty. Now, who fits that profile?

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) so now that this thing is off......and despite what Hahn said...i gotta think Poreda will be in the pen sooner than later replacing gobble...right? Poreda just k'd 12 in seven. Colon just had an epic fail of a game today. If we're ever going to call up AP i want it as a starter. Hopefully, we can get a lefty for Betemit.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) Why's that? Javy's doing a great job for the Braves. Gilmore, until recently, was doing horrible. Flowers is having a good, not spectacular season. I think Atlanta has to be pretty happy about that trade so far. The organization was clearly done with Javy V. To get someone like Flowers for him is incredibly impressive. We have a guy who's hitting well enough to justify being put into the 2010 picture.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) 3 hits for Gordon. Jon Gilmore 2-3 tonight. He's on fire. 14 hits in his last 22 AB's. The Braves trade is an absolute winner. KW deserves a medal for that.

Poor Sean Marshall continues to get hung out to dry. He's kinda like the Cubs version of BA, he's done everything to deserve a consistent shot, and when he does the cards get stacked against him.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) The guy wrote a Cubs-stroking article, about how the White Sox didn't deserve Peavy, and that they were in a position to suck for a few years running. Why would i be happy? I'm pissed over this whole day of course i'm prone to hyperbole.

If this affair has taught me anything it’s that Ken Rosenthal is an ignorant midget who can go screw himself because no one will be stupid enough to do it for him.

Food for thought. KW didn't burn any bridges on this one.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 21, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) Beckham and Danks both hit homers. 5-1 Barons in the third. Danks and Beckham are incredible. There was about a two week adjustment period for both of them and they've never looked back. Flowers hardly even needed a week!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) I wouldn't, unless the PTBNL were Broadway and McCulloch or Egbert or something. But if it was Hudson and another solid guy, too much. I think Oswalt is nearing the decline. Yep, because of the age disparity between Peavy and Oswalt you have to take Hudson out of a deal. Poreda, Richard, Broadway and Mcculloch/Ely is exactly the type of deal to explore. Oswalt isn't perfection, but an ace is an ace.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 06:28 PM) Dan Haren, Oswalt (a little older, but could be available) I'd do the same damn package for Oswalt.

f***ing Boers and Bernstein are gloating.

Jake Peavy has quickly become one of my most hated players. I don't root for cowards, especially greedy ones.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) Cowley on the score: Peavy is rejecting the deal f*** you Jake Peavy. f*** you, you piece of s***.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) I also hope that KW has done his research about any player he trades for, and if that player will show up on the list of the 100 or so players that tested positive during 2005. Wait, did Fathom just link a here-to-now clean player to steroids? What? Will wonders ever cease?

The Braves just lost Omar infante, the only lefty of interest is Jo Jo Reyes, and he's been hit around.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) Hey Thunderbolt. . . hopefully you change your signature very soon I'm actually looking to change my name too so, hopefully it's an extreme makeover.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:13 PM) Anderson had a 3 hit day! He, DJ and Getz were the highlights.

Can anyone think of any decent lefties that Betemit coult fetch us?

Off Topic, Homer Bailey was just called up.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) high school doesn't suck. . well teaching high school is fun at least. . If we get Peavy, im going to spend the first half of class discussing Peavy Your lesson plan just has to be about Penguins.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) Another awesome idea that came up as well... Soxtalk Text updates! That'd be awesome. Half of them would be about LSD dropping Penguins.

We really need to draft another Lefty.
