Cubs trade DeJesus to the Nationals for a PTBNL...

He didnt have to go far.

Give me the run down on "a player to be named later"?

Never understood it, unless they're waiting for a contract issue or a medical clearance it sounds complicated. Like we'll give you the shittiest player we have give us time to look for him. Or you have a choice of these 5 players let us know who you want.

There's a list with five or six names on it the team trading for the player presents to the other GM. The other GM will choose one of those players at a later date. The list usually contains throw away players that are older that won't sniff the bigs.

Took me to the end of my post to figure that's the logical idea. Never really thought about it other then it's Mr Insignificant.

I feel Atlanta is the team to beat in the NL.

I felt that way to start the season and still do now, but Atlanta's glaring weakness could be their downfall in October. Their situational hitting is nonexistant. Basically unless one of them hits a HR it's a strikeout.

You can win the East when Washington is still shellshocked from last year and Miami is Loria's bitch, but against the best of the best? I think a team more fundamentally sound is going pulverize them. I don't care how wicked their pitching is, your batter's don't lead the NL in strikeouts and expect to not in playoffs.

[johnk5150]

Loria should be thrown out of baseball

I think that's cause he's a rookie and a complete showoff. He fucking poses for line drives like Manny Ramirez after a HR. I've tired of his schtick myself. I think the only reason he hasn't caught a fastball in the ear is because he's built like an offensive lineman

Are you fucking drunk? When they were here in Chicago the Fox Guys wouldn't stop comparing him to Bo Jackson.

It's a good comparison. The guy ran full speed into the right field wall trying to catch a foul and nearly caught it. He had no business being anywhere near that ball, but he's just so fucking FAST. What a weapon to have on your side.

[killeverything]

Ichiro collected hit #4,000 last night. Wow.

You're not paying attention.

Jason Heyward broke his jaw on a HBP. Out 4-6 weeks, damn. For how good Atlanta is that's a tough break ( no pun intended ).

[Facedown]

Mets picked up Dice-K.

[wickedsensation]

DeJesus joins his third team this week, the Tampa Bay Rays...

[Machado]

The benches cleared in Boston against the MFY because Dempster hit Arod ( that shit was intentional as fuck too ). Girardi was also ejected. Here's what I don't understand though. Your sitting with only a game and a half lead over Tampa Bay why would you tag Aroid in the 2nd and possibly get ejected?

Look I hate that douchebag just as much as the next guy but if you're gonna hit Mr. March do it in April, not in the midst of a fucking pennant race. Or let Anaheim, Houston, Toronto, etc. do it. Their season's are over.

Idiots.

That run had no effect on the game, Boston had a 6-3 lead going into the 6th before finally loosing 9-6. The crowed went ape shit. Beaning A-Roid didn't allow the Wankees to put up 9 runs.

True they lost and lost bad, and it can't be blamed on Arod. I still think it was stupid in the midst of pennant race. If Dempster gets ejected in the 2nd it depletes a bullpen already surpassing career IP for a majority of them. Bean that motherfucker when the game is already won. Idiots.

5 or 6 days later we find out that
Dempster was "only" suspended 5 games for his intentional bean ball at ARod.
Bud must be in bed with the Sox and Dempster because the punishment
was weak. Dempster won't miss a start based on the current Sox scheduled days off. What a nice punishment?
Dempster is a punk. He missed ARod on the 1st pitch and waited for the 3-0 count to drill him.
All this means is ARod took him deep later in the game and Dempster was unable to hold a 6-3 lead,

I thought Kruk on ESPN said a lot of interesting comments following the bean ball. Schilling also added a few nice comments. Someone on the Sox is going to get drilled and the player might as well be Ortiz.

Only 5 games? That's the punishment for intentionally hitting a batter. It's in the rule book. Idiot.

Keep up that attitude and I might personally ask Joba to drill Ortiz
on the ribs the next time these 2 teams play

Fuck the rules and fuck Bud Selig and the rules committee.
Dempster should miss 1 start. A position player gets suspended for 1 game and that player can not play.
A starter can be suspended 5 games and not miss a start. What's the point???

Bud wants to fuck over ARod any chance he gets and now ARod is getting
support from players & the public for how he is being treated.

Dempster fucked up. He wanted to take matters into his own hands and
in the end he took a loss, was taken deep and upset his own teammate(Ortiz)

Those are the rules though and you can't have it both ways. Seriously which is it? Your ( rightfully ) pissed that Selig took liberties with Arod, the PED testing suspensions and the Collective Bargaining Agreement, then on the other hand your pissed that Selig didn't take liberties with Dempster's suspension and give him more than the 5 game standard that's set.

I hope everyone was paying attention to the Cubs giving a solid lesson on how to blow a six run lead to San Diego of all teams.

[killeverything]

I hope everyone was paying attention to the Cubs giving a solid lesson on how to blow a six run lead to San Diego of all teams.

Saw the highlights, but it wasn't as bad as the King striking out 10 Angels and have no run support. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I just read that the Dodgers backed off a 210m deal for Clayton Kershaw who is eligible for arbitration after this season and free agency in 2014. His "attempted" deal would include an opt-out clause ( not unlike Greinke's ).

Which leads me to this question. What do y'all think he'll get? Do you think his contract will surpass Verlander's or the King? He's having a historic year with an ERA close to Pedro Martinez in 2000. With the amount LA is willing to spend I think it could rival Arod's ridiculous deal.

You want to talk about a special pitcher being wasted on a team that doesn't give any run support take a look at Chris Sale on the White Sox.

Kershaw is about the only pitcher I'd hand a blank check to, if I was a GM. Well, let me back out of that - he's certainly gonna get $20+ million/year for at least six years. That's a very conservative estimate, but yeah. I'm thinking maybe 8/$175.

As much as I hate LA he's been a fucking treat to watch this year

He'll definitely get paid too. An eight year deal would keep him to his age 33 season. I mean the guy hasn't even hit his prime yet, if you put it in perspective that's fucking scary. Kofax had the dominance just not the longevity. With Clayton's meteoric rise to the best in baseball he could surpass Sandy as the alltime Dodger great when he retires.

I'm thinking since he has no injury concerns that I'm aware of an incentive laden deal could push it well into the 200m range.

Puig is already wearing out his welcome with his teammates.
I think it was Hairston the other day that made some public comments
about Puig. Here they are:
According to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, Jerry Hairston Jr. said that a number of veterans spoke to Puig this week in an effort to get him to cut down on his mistakes. He described it as essentially their way of saying, “Hey, that’s enough,” and that such mistakes could prove costly during the postseason.
“A lot of things are happening to him,” Hairston said. “He’s a superstar at 22. He’s in a new country, a new culture. We are sensitive to that.

“But if you¹re going to be a great player, you’ve got to do the little things. That’s how you win. That’s the key.”

And that's exactly why I don't think LA is the team to beat, they're fundamentally flawed. Puig has the potential to be scary good as does LAD over the long run. I just think their "holes" are going to do them in in October.

Sounds like they are being leaders, not that he is wearing out is welcome.

It's what leaders do. Now if he doesn't listen to them, then he may wear out his welcome.

According to WFAN's Mike Francesa, Mets ace Matt Harvey is headed to the disabled list with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament.
TJ surgery is very likely if MRI is accurate.
