The Greek god of walks had 5 BBs in a game today vs Detroit. Alexei doesn't even have 5 BBs for the entire season.

Andre Eithier is leading MLB with a .392 average and 38 RBI and is at the top of the NL with 11 HR.

 

He broke his pinky finger in batting practice.

 

Not sure yet if it's a DL trip or not.

Thats a bummer, guy is having a triple crown start to the season.

Reds win 2 out of 3 vs. STL, and are now in 1st place in the NL Central. I guess its the first time since July that the Cards weren't in first. I know its only mid-May, but the Reds have been popular sleeper picks the last couple years, maybe this is the year they can hang in there until September.

They could be a good White Sox trade partner

Maybe we can trade for their righty set-up man and their SS! In all seriousness, Jenks as a set-up man for them makes a lot of sense. They wouldn't need Konerko or AJP, and I can't see them taking in Buehrle.

Not really. If you are in a pennant race and your set-up guy can't get people out and blows games, that makes absolutely no sense at all.

While i'd love to still get Homer Bailey on the White Sox, I think that time has passed.

Sometimes another team will think a change of scenery will benefit a player or perhaps they see a flaw in his mechanics that they think they can fix.

True, but that sounds more of like a spring training or early season idea, not something to test out when you are fighting for a playoff spot.

It's the National League. I guarantee Jenks would be successful there. Heck, Carlos Silva is a valuable starter in that league.

Its funny how repositioning someone to the other side of the pitching rubber can have such a profound effect.

Papelbon gives up 4 in the 9th to lose it for Boston. No river dancing tonight.

 

Only took 4 hours to play the game.

I can't wait to peep Sons of Sam Horn later tonight.

Spending the night rotating between Clayton Richard against the Giants and John Ely against the Astros. Not even going to comment on CR, because I’m a firm supporter of the Peavy trade, but my god,it looks like Ely really knows how to pitch. He sequences each batter perfectly, and changes speeds at will.

I want to make sweet love to Elvis Andrus.

Those moves could look bad on paper for us because those guys get to pitch half of their games at Dodger Stadium and Petco Park, and almost all of them in the National League. The Peavy move is indeed fine, but the Pierre move could eventually end up really bad.

Anyone for trading our entire minor league system (minus T. Thompson, Mitchell, Hudson, Viciedo and Flowers) for Hanley Ramirez?

They just signed him to an extension, he's going nowhere. And if he was available, you could trade that group of less than top-notch prospects for him also.

Jenks would be a premier closer in the NL. From watching the NL it just seems that teams give at bats away and do not work a pitcher like they do in the AL, not including the White Sox.

 

 

Trever Hoffman at it again. Blows a two-run lead: 0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 HR. Now 5/10 in saves, 13.15 ERA, 2.15 WHIP

 

Might be time to hang em up old man, although its crazy that last year he had one of his best seasons ever.

Andre Ethier to the DL. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb

 

Leading the league in BA, HR (actually tied with Kelly Johnson), RBI, OBP and SLG%. This really blows. Could he have kept this pace up? Maybe not. But you never want to see in injury derail what was looking like a historic individual season.

Hanley is whining about being benched. I suggest he shuts the f*** up and gets over himself like Jimmy Rollins did.

Two relievers that I can't stand both blow games the last two nights. Papelbon and Joba.
