Yankees close to acquiring Soriano from the Cubs?

And my previous post about Garza possibly going to the Rangers is official.

Cubs get Mike Olt, CJ Edwards, Justin Grimm, and a PTBNL.

Cubs fleeced them!

According to foxsports.com, Matt Garza will soon be a Texas Ranger.

If this does happen, I sure as hell hope the Cubs get Mike Olt...

Homer Bailey threw his second career no hitter against the SF Giants today. Damn. I remember I had a Baseball Prospectus 2008 Top Prospect Handbook that had him as like the top 3 prospect overall. Those of y'all waiting for him to become an ace it seems he's well on his way. After his first season ...

Prior to tonight's draft, Ian Clarkin said he can't stand the Yankees.

Tonight, the Yankees drafted him in the first round, 33rd overall.

Have fun, Ian!

As a former Chicagoan (born and raised), I'm excited for the Blackhawks. But I also have to thank the refs, especially for their help in game 6...

Vernon Wells played 3rd base last night in the 9th innings last night. Never played there before, even as a kid!

Kerry Wood yesterday said he'd like to see Sammy back with the organization in some capacity. He went on to say we should let the ONE thing he did wrong go. To which one thing is he referring ? The corked bat? Playing ten years on steroids? Being the worst right fielder in history? Abandoning his t...

I do feel very good about my prediction that the Vikes will have a better record than the Bears at the end of the season after that fail they pulled last night. The Bears will easily have a better record... How easy will it be? By how many games will they have a better record? How many more games w...

Flutie was the ultimate team player, while Johnson only cared about his stats.

I remember Johnson's penchant for taking sacks instead of throwing the ball away when under pressure, so that his QB rating wouldn't be affected...

Why is Philly favored over Baltimore? Yeah, I saw that too. 2.5 point favorites as of today. Maybe the betting logic is: --Baltimore receivers will struggle against Philly's secondary, so Philly will put another guy in the box to defend against Rice. --No way that Flacco will have another performan...

If the reports are true, those coaches and University staff that are "poaching" the Penn St. campus should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting behavior. Their actions are not helping matters any. The University of Illinois coaching staff has been spending the last several days near campu...

I still wanna know what the story is behind his (second?) divorce and how he ended up with custody of his daughter from that marriage. That's bound to be juicy---what judge gives custody of a preschooler to a touring musician? :shock: How many times has this fucker been married? and how many kids? ...

Buster Olney: "Red Sox are the early favorite to land Garza." I'm not pissed that this team has sucked pretty much all year, my issue is the front office won't admit it. Let's rape the farm system AGAIN to get Garza and whoever else they're after and then miss the playoffs anyway. This te...
