MLB Season 2011

Another "I wouldn't have thunk it"... Catcher A.J. Pierzynski of the White Sox broke a bone in his hand and went on the disabled for the first time in his 13 year career. Such a demanding position to play,you would think he'd been on it at some point. Wow!

Apparently not all pro athletes are a "whiney-assed, overpaid bunch of grown men", as posted in another thread.

GO TRIBE!!!

Here's another link with some more details about how it all went down. Pretty cool story.

Way to jinx yourself Cleveland. Kip gonna break his leg in the next few days. Mark it down.

Well, he didn't exactly break his leg, but he is headed for the DL.

The Cubs have finally buried the rotting corpse of Jim Hendry. Too bad Alfonso Soriano's contract cannot be killed by conventional means.

[vinny-b]

looks like the Cleveland Indians received the 2002 trade version of Jeff Weaver. aka Ubaldo Jimenez.


at least the Rockies GM, didn't have everyone tricked

positive news.

if were Cubs ownership, would get in contact with Brian Cashman. Find out if there's interest.

the Cubs could do much worse, then Cashman, followed by Joe Girardi in 2013 or before.


despite bein a Yankee fan, if were in the position of either, and made the above offer, would leap at the chance to trade-in New York for Chicago. Based on the NY sports market. And a upgrade in the pizza department

MLB show on XM radio threw Andrew Friedman's name out there the other day. Also was mentioned they want someone with a track record. That would be a coup for the Cubs.

snaz: I believe he would be a fine choice, as well. Impressed by what he's done via bein hadicapped.

Yea,that would be a loss for the Rays. I think he is sorta attached at the hip with the owner though. Its one thing being a boy genious with money ala Theo in Boston or Jon Daniels in Texas.but what they've been able to accomplish with the payroll and thru the minors is pretty impressive. Todays loss puts them at 70-59,and with little offense,which would have them in major contention anywhere but the AL or NL East. Don't be surprised if they trade Shields in the off season,maximizing his trade potential. Rays got a kid pitcher that has tore thru the minors including AAA. Remember the name Matt Moore. Might even get a cup of coffee with a Sept. call up.

snaz: it is ok, you can list Cashman. lol. My analysis of him, is he's someone who's learned on-the-job. And in addition to valuable experience gained, he's proved marketably better, when 'interference' was removed. Both in terms of FA signings, and retaining the right prospects. He's made mistakes recently (AJ Burnett). Yet, those are mistakes which will be made every time, when a franchise insists on rebuilding on-the-run, as opposed to yielding to any type of a normal rebuild cycle. Also, believe him to be a person of high-integrity

didn't know you were a Rays fan? kewl. It's remarkable the pitching which exists in the rotation, even after trading a winner like Matt Garza. Impressed by what they've done in 2011

The wonder boys I referred to are in thier 30's. Cashman is a "grizzled" old vet at 44...lol.(If only I were that young). Cash has done a great job in spite of the diversions he has dealt with. And the farm system has been productive.
I'm a combo Rays and Indians fan,having grown up in Youngstown,Ohio,and the last 38 yrs in paradise,known as Punta Gorda,Fla. All GM's make mistakes,judging talent is more complicated than forcasting the weather,its just the big spenders have more cash to throw at thier mistakes than the small market teams do. But hey,its the nature of the beast.

How hot are the Tigers. With Justin Verlander getting 2 starts in a 5 game series,this team is real dangerous. And the Rays are making the Red Sox real nervous. A win v Balt. tonite closes it to 3 games,with a big 4 game set between the 2 this weekend in Fenway...good stuff

[MizzouRah]

I could sit and watch Verlander pitch.. the movement on his 105 mph fastball last night was something to behold.

snaz: props on your Rays taking 3 of 4 in the rat's nest, when they HAD to

Red Sox are really leaking oil. I believe NYY will determine if Boston makes the playoffs or not. With 7 games remaining with Tampa, the Yankees will be in position to win/lose these games based on their 'interests'

Rays gotta win tonite,and the Angels are right there now.
What a dagger the Mets delivered the Cards today. 6 runs in the 9th to win 8-6. Ouch!!

OMG what a horrible loss for my Cardinals...may cost us the postseason!

DB watching a Mets' game and cheering for them...even more bizarre.

well, you made a nice run Tampa Bay. Tried to cheer you on to victory, every game this week. Didn't happen. Better pick up an offensive player or three, in the off-season

Boston is very lucky.

D. Price usually owns TOR whenever the Jays face TPA. A bad throw to home base and an impeccable pitching performance by B. Morrow helped BOS's chances in the wild card race. Rays are running out of steam after playing solid baseball for the past 2 months.

[MizzouRah]

Cardinals are officially DONE.

I hope LaRussa is too!
