As a team Seattle is hitting .688 vs RHP, so they could use Dunn regardless of how many lefties they already have. Yankees are only 1½ GB in WC Maybe Oakland needs to get creative to work a deal, but they definitely could use Dunn.

AL DH OPS: Sox .842 Oakland: .690 Yankees: .651 Seattle: .564 There are three teams for whom Dunn would unquestionably be an upgrade. If I'm a fan of those teams, and a deal doesn't get made for Dunn, I would be PISSED! If none of those three teams offer up something with at least a little bit of tangible value, I'd be shocked.

What was the cost of the repairs? If it's < $1000, I'd let the oil change company know that I can easily cost them that much business through negative publicity, etc.

I don't know. It is nice to finally see the IHSAA stand up to Cathedral though.

Eron Gordon has been ruled ineligible for Indianapolis Cathedral after his transfer from North Central.

He has some extremely funny lines but you have to suffer through 2 hours and 50 minutes of boredom to get the 10 minutes of gold.

Obvious intelligence is obvious.

Lance Armstrong will not win a bicycle race in the second half of the year.

Get all the World Cups.

Some airlines (all of the US ones plus some others) had already been avoiding the area, but not all.

Plane went down in rebel controlled area. Rebels claim to have found black box but not allowing Ukrainian officials to have it or to enter the area. Good start to a cover up by the rebels.

That depends on Europe. The US will only get as involved as our NATO allies sign off on. Maybe this pushes Europe past the point of caring about energy trade with Russia, but maybe not.

Entirely different sets of weaponry. Surface to surface weapons aren't accidentally hitting a jet at 30K ft. Hearing now that there were 23 Americans on passenger registry.

Sky news reporting that it had gone as far as the Russian news agency posting a story about it on YouTube which was taken down as soon as they figured out it was a commercial plane.

Far better than Moises Alou's dugout antics.

Reporter on Sky news saying that commercial flights have been re-routing around the contested area of Ukraine for several months now and this plane was not on the path it was supposed to be on.

Holy f***!

Just to clarify, this is the original Malaysian plane and not a second one, right?

I wouldn't lump Danks in with the other three. Danks was the piece Texas had to give up to get McCarthy. That just means they liked McCarthy better, not that they thought Danks was a lost cause.

Kemp is owed $107M from 2015-19. I have a hard time justifying taking on even half of that to take him off the Dodgers hands, so I guess from the Dodgers standpoint is it worth giving him up to save only $40-50M.

I just looked up his 2011 numbers. Played at Tampa (A+). 30 appearances, including 12 starts. 102 IP, 2.91 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 7.8 K/9, 3.1 K/BB. Now, I know absolutely nothing about the Florida State League, maybe it is a very pitcher friendly league, but if not, those are pretty decent numbers. They don't look like numbers of a guy that a team should be giving up on. However, I'd appreciate the opinion of somebody with much better knowledge of the minors and prospects.

Scout: Rick, you're wasting your time claiming these pitchers. Maybe 1 in 10 becomes a productive major leaguer Rick: **Claims 10 pitchers**

Not that I wouldn't take Mark's results for Jose, but they are different pitchers. Jose is averaging 7 K/9 for his career and is over 8 so far this season. Mark's best K/9 year was 6.1 and he's at 5.2 for his career.
