Haha. Go figure.

Rocco and Kotch come up with the back-to-back hits.

Well, didn't figure that part of the lineup would score runs anyways.

At least they turned it over and did a little damage to the pitch count.

There is that.

A little more damage would have been better.

I heard a rumor that the team getting Halladay also had to take Vernon Wells.

by BoldandBrash on Sep 13, 2009 1:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think any GM would take Wells's contract

Why give up the farm, for Halladay for a season and a third, and have a so so player with the worst contract in MLB? that last for another five seasons?

  No GM is going to do that, except for JP Ricciardi.

 I think all these silly rumors are Ricciardi’s last ditch effort to save his job. If anyone who will get their pink slip first when the season ends, it will be Ricciardi. How he handled the Halladay negotiations were truly awful.

by superferret on Sep 13, 2009 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nope. Not at all.

1) JP would NOT have turned that down. Nobody would.
2) Toronto source, who the fuck is Bob Elliot?
3) Theo wouldn’t deal Buck for Santana in a similar situation a few years back, and honestly his opinion of the kid doesn’t seem to have changed much. It’s for Felix or bust.
4) Coming out so late after all the other purported possible deals that it’s really suspicious.

No

There’s no way the Sox would make that offer.

Haha, agreed.

Certainly didn’t seem to mind losing it in the 4th. Love that he doesn’t give up many consecutive baserunners anymore. The composure and presence is just so different.

I have a feeling this game will be decided by an extreme.

Either a solo shot
Or a blooper driving in someone who got on via a walk or something.

They fill up the Blazers games with regularity.

Beavers draw about 6,000 per.

And Portland baseball fans tend to be fans of a smattering of different teams, none of them particularly impressive or die-hard in nature, so they could be poached.

Plus, Portland has a pretty favorable reputation as a city, so you shouldn’t have the issues you would with, say, Vegas.

They may draw upon Northern California fans too. I also thought Salt Lake might be able to do it, but I’d be more comfortable if I were Selig in Portland.

I'd bunt here.

Ensure the runner to 3rd, and Ells can beat one out with some consistency.

LOL @ Orsillio saying how shallow Gross was playing

and then his quick recovery on the HR call

"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

I thought:

Good, sac fly. Then, I saw Gross running and I thought: wow, a double. I couldn’t believe the ball landed in the pen.

yeah but Vmart is making a difference NOW

not everything is about ‘someday’. The Sox have plenty of ‘someday’ players still.

Hagadone is a 23-year-old who's still pitching in A ball.

And is coming off of Tommy John surgery. Very big “IF” there.

by lone1c on Sep 13, 2009 2:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, I am being a little bit facetious.

I have no real worry that this trade will end up being close to even for the Sox.

by Ben Buchanan on Sep 13, 2009 2:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ramirez for Bay

versus Masterson for Martinez. No contest there.

Das Stimmt.

Ein sehr gutes Handel

It wasn't.

But we’re friends and laughed it off later. My German teacher heard it and just laughed too. Es war sehr lustig.

He wanted out. Would have gotten ‘injured’.

You have to see this

Go to MLB Gameday and watch the highlights of how Baltimore scored their third run. Damon allowed a runner to tag from second and score on a routine fly to LF.

I love how the Tabata/Ohlendorf vs. Marte/Nady trade has worked out for them.

Horrible…..!

Damon showed he's just as dumb as advertised.

Forgot there were only two outs and almost threw the ball into the stands.

That was my problem.

You know what

Nick Green makes that play. Seriously.

All the more reason for him to play

On the other hand

After fielding Green twice from the mound, Kotchman might have shied away from catching another bullet from Green.

you really think so?

I think Green throws that ball away
