sadly there is going to be a lot of that in the next few days


It's a perfect media outlet acid test. If they say something like "Instead of Roy Halladay, the Phils get 7-9 Cliff Lee", just turn the channel.

BSG should have its own radio station.

I guess getting Lee is not going to hurt as much as some thought.

I'm thinking podcast
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

I bet Barkaan on DNL says something like "But hes 7-9!!!." Just to be some sort of contrarian.

Flip Francisco & Mayberry for relief help, promote Taylor.

Quick - I need a revised top 10 prospects list. I will be giggling as I see our top 3 have remained unchanged.

Even idiot sportswriters will think to say, "But for the Indians."

So if we keep him on normal rest he starts Friday? Does Blanton get moved back to Saturday and Moyer bumped? I assume they wouldn't have Blanton go on short rest on thursday to bump Lopez.

No, but Taylor does.

Not for nothing, but Victorino is 9th in the NL in runs created. If you trade him, you better get a lot.

I actually ps'ed a wins-losses disclaimer to my buddies when I informed them of the deal via e-mail; I don't think most of them will be convinced however.
