September 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 07:43 AM) Buster_ESPN Buster Olney There is a sense in FLA front office that Jeffrey Loria and David Samson will be taking a greater role in making player personnel decisions. throw the ozeroo in that mix and that franchise will be epic......careful what you ask for oz I see a 100 loss season being an annual thing down there
September 8, 201114 yr Following the Nyjer Morgan/Poo-Holes tweets has taught me one thing. Nyjer needs to lay off of that exclamation points.

September 9, 201114 yr Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Of all the teams, the most difficult rebuilding/remodeling work for 2012 belongs to the Twins, IMO. Will have more on this in column today.
September 9, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Good timing for a spot start on my fantasy team today, ay? Except for the part where no one gives a f*** about your fantasy team.
September 9, 201114 yr pgammo Peter Gammons Puerto Rican players in the majors hear that the Puerto Rican League may be shut down this winter, which would be a cruel blow
September 9, 201114 yr http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/rumbli...-loaded-closers 1. Now that Tim Wakefield has made it through seven straight fruitless attempts at his 200th win, it's time for this important alert, courtesy of loyal reader Aaron Byrd-Leitner: If Wakefield doesn't figure out a way to win a game over the next three weeks, 2011 will become the first season since (ready?) 1879 in which NO active pitcher had 200 wins. The active leader at the end of that 1879 season: 43-game winner Tommy Bond, who finished that year with 195.
September 9, 201114 yr Kershaw vs Lincecum tonight. Kershaw could potentially wrap up the CY award with a dominant performance.
September 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 10:49 PM) Rays-Red Sox could get interesting. The Rays take these next two and it definitely gets interesting. I wish the Rays had called up Jennings earlier.

September 10, 201114 yr Jacoby Ellsbury now leads all of baseball in fWAR. I was considering him for MVP before, but now I think he has a decent shot to win it. After all, he plays on a good team and Bautista plays on a mediocre one.

I was considering him for MVP before, but now I think he has a decent shot to win it. After all, he plays on a good team and Bautista plays on a mediocre one. He's having a year that mimics most of Rickey Henderson's prime years. I have no idea where the power has come from. I'd say it's between him, Bautista and Granderson.

September 11, 201114 yr QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 05:39 PM) Curtis Granderson says whaddup? Ellsbury's wOBA is .007 lower and plays a much better center field. The difference in their run production is a mere 3 runs. I think I'd give Ellsbury the nod if it was between those two. Edited September 11, 201114 yr by chw42
September 11, 201114 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 10:41 PM) Red Sox fans should be very afraid...Rays now 4.5 back. Still extremely unlikely. But other than Lester, that rotation is in shambles. That would be some kinda story, though.
September 11, 201114 yr Oh, and we most definitely have a race in the AL west. Don't let the Angels get in. Weaver/Haren/Santana >>> any top three from the AL (assuming the Rays don't pull off the miracle).
September 11, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) The Rays take these next two and it definitely gets interesting. I wish the Rays had called up Jennings earlier. the rays have been dicking around with jennings for the past two years, much in the same way the sox have with viciedo. the kid should have been up last year imo
September 11, 201114 yr Phillies can clinch a playoff berth today with a win in Milwaukee, and a Cardinals loss. But would they celebrate today? Probably not. Edited September 11, 201114 yr by flavum
September 11, 201114 yr Rays off to a quick 3-0 lead, still hitting. :choke: Edited September 11, 201114 yr by flavum
September 11, 201114 yr Strasburg pulled after 3 innings and 57 pitches. Really labored in the 2nd inning. FB was only hitting 92. Davey Johnson had to go out and check on him. Looked better in the 3rd inning. K'd a couple guys while the FB was topping out at 96. They obviously weren't going to take any chances. I could see them just shutting him down.
September 11, 201114 yr How long before Verlander is traded? Last couple AL Central Cy Young Winners Johan Santana C.C. Sabathia Cliff Lee Zack Greinke
