I need to call that guy to bust my brother :lol: So that's 2-3 from the big bag Bravos and the loss has Kemp ejected early in the game.X360PS3AMD05
Man.....I hate the Braves sometimes, but that's not taking anything away from the Dodgers. I hope the Braves avoid them in a wildcard game. (By virtue of one winning the division.)
Sucks to be you guys, the Nats are taking it so a wild card is probably it, throwing your Ace out to win one game before you start the LDS is going to hurt.

Well, it's a good thing the Braves don't really have a real bonafide ace then :P I think the Braves have a strong shot at winning the division, if they keep it close in the next two or so weeks AND if Strasburg is shut down. As I said in previous posts, I am not trying to come off as a Braves homer, but I just want to see how the Nats do without Strasburg. There is a huge difference in Strasburg and Lannan or whoever comes up to take his spot. Is it a guarantee that the Nats will falter without Strasburg? Of course not, I'd definitely be a homer if I said that. I just want to wait and see. Side story: It's still nice to see the Phillies in last place, or near last place even if it's just one bad season.
Is it just me or do the White Sox only score via the HR? And what's up with the Chicago stadiums, always look dim in highlight videos, is electricity expensive over there or something?
Makes me wonder if there's something going on in the Bay Area. That's 3 Bay Area players suspended in the past 4 months, in contrast there were 3 total suspenisons of all 3 players in the 3 previous years.
lol saw this one on fangraphs "notice colon wasnt caught while playing for the yankees. unlike the low revenue As the Yankees have enough $$$ to buy proper PED maskers for their players. in unrelated news 38 year old derek jeter is having quite a bounce back season this year. good for him." And yah go Mariners! Angels in last place
God no, hopefully it doesn't go through for us like Cliff Lee deal a few weeks back. F*ck 107 million, 127 million, and 34 million left on those contract.

Looks like it's happening. Loney, Gonzalez and Punto all scratched, De La Rosa (LA prospect) sent down to get off 25 man roster.
The trade would represent the nexus of a windfall of television money in Los Angeles and dysfunction and disappointment in Boston. The Dodgers are set to score the biggest regional TV deal in baseball history this winter, a package that according to one high-level baseball official "will allow them to dwarf the Yankees. They've made it clear they want top major league talent and are willing to pay just about anything."
If this goes happens, then maybe the Dodgers are the one from the prophecy. The team that would bring balance to the Force. AL/NL, East/West. With Boston being Anakin and the Dodgers being their offspring!!! :o:D:P I know, I know. I got carried away!!!!!!
Sources: Dodgers claim entire Astros team off waivers :lol: My Boy A-Gon coming to da ravine!!? No way!! Awwwww baby i have to go buy a cigar and some champagne. Gotta get a ticket to his first game, looks like i waited for the perfect time to attend my first game of the year.
Adrian is a west coast guy so that might help with his comfort level. The problem is his power, his is hitting for average all right but the homers have disappear? Will hitting in his old NL West division bring that back?
Josh Beckett: I'm expecting an AJ Burnett out of him.
Crawford: Ufff, this is the biggest risk. Such a a big contract for a guy with declining speed which is a huge part of his game.
This whole trade is as high risk, high reward if I have ever seen one.
It's not that he bats 5th, he just bats 5th with no one to protect him. He should be batting 3rd or 4th, but Carlos Lee doesn't exactly strike fear into opponent's hearts. I'd do this:
1. Bonifacio (when he returns) 2. Reyes 3. Lee 4. Stanton 5. Ruggiano (he has pop and just continues to hit for some reason) 6. Dobbs 7. Solano 8. Buck/Brantly
In probably pointless news, Joe Mauer cleared waivers and has until Friday at midnight to be traded. Doubt anyone actually gets him...he still has 6 years and 138 million left, and a ton of heath concerns.

It was a revocable trade waiver, which means nothing. It's a procedural thing that all teams do to gauge the value of their rosters. Pretty much every player in the league has been placed on revocable trade waivers multiple times in their career. Some teams put their entire rosters through revocable trade waivers on an annual basis.

Oh I know that. It doesn't shock me that named like Lee, Hernandez, Bautista and others were on it, and claimed. Might as well see if anyone offers something ridiculous for someone. But the fact he cleared waivers..I guess it is the normal thing. It wasn't shocking or anything, I just thought maybe a team bites and takes that contract from the Twins. He's had a pretty good year. I know if you're claimed, like Beckett and AGon were, that's where you have like 72 hours or something to work out a: trade, give him for nothing, or pull him back and not being able to put him back on that year
So this guy ran some projections for ESPN and says the Braves, Chi Sox and Yankees are most likely collapses in September. It's an "Insider" article you have to pay for...
