Soria blows it, Indians win.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) But they suddenly have the most fragile pitching staff in the AL Central between them, Tigers and Indians. When KW made the Jackson trade, I'm convinced he wanted to throw in the towel. However, in true KW fashion, he switched courses just because a few games. That's my feeling as well. It will be swell when Kenny stands pat and the team proceeds to fall out of the race soon thereafter.

Sup regression.

Epic boos for Rios.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) Harden close to being traded to the Red Sox now. Looks like Clay Buchholz injury is more serious than originally thought. Lars Anderson and a PTBNL. Pretty meh.

Please sell some pieces tonight Kenny.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) What happened? I refuse to watch the games so i'm just following with updates here before I go out. He allowed a runner to score from 1st base on a single. Got to the ball and kind of just held onto it instead of getting it back in.

Lol Rios.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) With a man up in the pen. Hold on now. I've never seen this before. It's undenyable that something is happening with a man warming, I can't believe the Rockies are playing it like this, if you're hammering out a deal wouldn't you scratch him just as a precaution? How odd.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:40 PM) This is bizarre. I just checked my twitter feed and I see this from Passen: Just confirmed @TroyRenck report that LHP Drew Pomeranz, RHP Alex White and 1B Matt McBride will be Colorado's package for Ubaldo Jimenez. and right above that is this from Nightengale: #mlb #Rockies Jimenez going down to bullpen to warm up...Apparently, not scratched yet. Very interesting, I added a question mark to the thread title. The Rox wouldn't approve a physical for the Yankees recently, I wonder if they are pulling the same with Cleveland.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) So the Rockies top arms are now Maztek, Pomeranz and White. Damn. Matzek is a complete and utter mess. Go look at his numbers. It shocked the hell out of me when I saw them earlier this season.

Yuck. I'd rather have Pomeranz and White.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) to me that sounds like a last ditch smoke screen trying to drum up the price. "we're completely content to not trade him, even though you guys need him pretty badly" kinda thing. But maybe i'm just hoping. I don't buy it. It's hard to take anything KW says at face value regarding trades. Will just wait and see.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) Would do anything to get Heyward on the Sox Good luck with that.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) I just can't buy that. But if they really want a .675 OPS hitting corner outfielder for a playoff run, then they can be stubborn. Agreed. Just speculation at the moment.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) Is Alonzo playing the OF these days? Yes. He's also a pretty bad defender though. They called him up when they traded Gomes. Dusty indicated Alonso will be coming off the bench.
