Williams is certain that Liriano can return to ace form. Remember how good he was/is when he's on?

Red Sox looking to trade Josh Beckett before the deadline.

Red Sox looking to trade Josh Beckett before the deadline.

That's not gonna happen. He's owed too much money and they'll have to eat practically all of it. He's got 10-5 rights, a 15.75 salary until 2014 and reputation for being temperamental. Plus his performane has been pretty shitty.

[Facedown]

Yeah, but even Beckett said in an interview yesterday that "if you're on the block, it's pretty obvious you're not wanted" (something to that effect) so I don't think he would block a trade if it was somewhere he wanted to go.

Beckett needs to show some balls.
Last night he was ejected from the game on a play that involved
a Red Sox batter. .
Beckett might have been trying to prove to his team that he still has the passion to play. What a joke!

[Facedown]

Red Sox shopping Nava, Sweeney, Cook and Shoppach.
Braves, Rangers and Dodgers interested in Beckett.
Sox are looking to aquire former Sox pitcher Justin Masterson.

Cubs dump fat catcher, Maholm and Reed Mantle for prospects.


Then beat shit out of Pirates.

[Facedown]

Dodgers get Brandon League from Mariners for 2 prospects.
Braves get Paul Maholm, Reed Johnson and cash from Cubs for a couple of pitchers after the deal they thought they had for Dempster was vetoed by him.
Cubs also traded Geovany Soto To Rangers for Jason Brigham.
Pirates get Travis Snider from Blue Jays for Brad Lincoln.

I love how I actually have 1 team that tries to win, whether they do or not. fuck yeah.

Victorino to the Dodgers and Pence to the Giants

Victorino to the Dodgers and Pence to the Giants

Phillies are the new Marlins!

Victorino to the Dodgers and Pence to the Giants

Hell yeah!!

[Facedown]

Rangers get Dempster.
Pirates get Gaby Sanchez.
Beckett stays (ka)put and Sox make 2 minor deals.
Trade Matt Albers and Scott Posednik to Arizona for Craig Breslow.
They also trade Lars Anderson to Indians for a minor league pitcher. This after having a deal fall through which would have sent Anderson to Oakland for Rich Harden.

Yankees activated Joba from the DL today.

Yankees traded Qualls for Pirates player
Casey McGhee.

If they were the Marlins, Howard, Utley and Halladay would be gone too. I don't mind the victorino deal at all, sucks to see pence go so soon but they couldn't resign either anyway so might as well get some prospects in return. gonna be very interersting next season seeing an outfield of Mayberry, Brown and Sherholtz(sp)???

I have now seen the Cubs one hit live six times .

You sound me talking about the Islanders, except I watch on tv.

I've also see the Cubs lose giving up only one hit twice.

Cubs baseball. It's never boring.

[Facedown]

Pfft. I saw Matt Young throw a no hitter and lose.

[johnk5150]

And for the love of fuck, Marlins, trade Hanley if you must, but please, PLEASE leave JJ alone. Hanley punched a cooling fan the other day, and had to get stitches. A few days later, the hand gets infected because he didn't take his antibiotics. Dumbass.

I fucking HATE this.

Oh, and FUCK Ichiro, and the filthy stankin' MFY!!!!

How you liking crazy Carlos now?

[Facedown]

Derek Lowe DFA'd by Indians.
Red Sox and Orioles are interested.

I'm saying pass. He has the lowest K/BB amongst qualified starters and if they put in a claim for him Shapiro ( who is no EpsteinHoyerCherington ) could pull him back, forcing them to work out a trade. Unfortunately AaronfuckingCook is a better option at this point.

I'm all for "2004 forever" and all that, but that's why they have commemorative DVDs and all that shit.

There are more pressing matters at hand. Like forgetting about the new second wild card and blowing it the fuck up. Stick the explosives ala Al-Queada style to Cherington/Luchhino and watch it go boom.

Hey Kill
Did you hear Buster Olney on WEII with Scott Van Pelt?
Buster went on and on about how there are so many people within
the Sux organization that dislike Bobby V.

That hiring was just terrible.

I'm not disputing that, but you can't blame Bobby on their performance. I blame the medical staff, hitting and pitching coaches. Basically the FO.

Take Lester's start today. He pitched well ( 0BB/7K ) but two good pitches were hit outside the zone by a very good hitter ( Morneau ) which led to the runs. Then they were shutdown by that Menudo guy.

I think Adrian Gonzalez's shoulder is still fucked up. Looking at his hit charts it's so spread out and not controlled. Not the hitting savant he was in the past.

Look at the clusters, especially the line drives. He hits like a "Manny Ramirez" type machine.


Now look at it. Clearly something is off. I thought the medical staff cleared him ( look at their previous track record )


Can't blame that on Valentine, nor the injuries, nor whatever is going on with Beckett ( I think he came into the league at 19 and is simply out of bullets ), nor Ortiz whining about $...

I really hate this team.

Hey John, when you're watching the Dodgers kill your team this weekend, please try to catch the Dodgers broadcast, so you can hear the man.

Dodgers claim Cliff Lee off waivers.
Someone said on sports radio here today that anyone claiming him would have to pay at least 95mil.
