MLB '08, Part Dos

[GirlsAloudFan]

Not at all. WildHoneyAlways seems to be pushing the panic button, though. And I'm starting to hear a few more of my friends complain about little things that shouldn't be complained about. Not me.

I love our team, as I have all year. And I'm as confident in them now as I have been at any point throughout the season.

Yanks acquire Pudge Rodriguez for Kyle Farnsworth.

Not saying that this guarantees anything, but, I'm pleased with the deal. The Yanks pen has been outstanding since Joba moved, and I think we can do without Kyle. Adding Marte helps, too. Plus, Bruney and Hughes are rehabbing.....Pudge is obviously not what he once was, but he's having a decent year at the plate, still has a good arm and has been in playoff runs/the post-season numerous times.

I'm pleased with the trade.

Yeah, I liked Farnsy, but if Molina were to go down, the Yanks would've only had Moler to back him up. Farnsy's contract was almost up anyway and the Yanks probably wouldn't have re-signed him. The Yanks got Pudge just in time because the Angels have a nasty habit of running wild on the Yanks.

I think this trade helps both the Yanks and the Tigers.

Oh, and you know how you talk about intolerable ass clowns at Wrigley:

Yep..."violent crimes" - sounds like a typical Southside fan...wanting to throw knives at players on the field.

GAF....you are a short-term memory southside fan. It's time for the White Sox second season:the August/September collapse.

What about trading Hawkins for a minor leaguer?

Let's hope the starting pitching for Boston in this series was an anomaly, cuz it sure didn't look so good.

And this is why I was waiting.

Trade rumors:

Red Sox in a three way trade sending Manny to the Marlins and somehow getting the Pirates involved.

Who is in first in the National League East now?

Word is the Sox would send Manny to the Fish and pay most of the remaining salary for the year, Fish would send pitching prospects and Hermida to the Pirates and Pirates would send Jason Bay and John Grabow to the Sox.

We'll see...very complicated trade with not much time left to sort things out.

Griffey to the White Sox!? That's the news out of Cincy.

Beating the crap out of first-base coaches AKA father-son bonding?

I like the idea of the ChiSox adding Griffey but I'm afraid the defense will suffer. They either replace Swisher in CF with Quentin (a downgrade) or replace Konerko with Thome at 1B and DH Griffey (a downgrade, and I'm not sure if Thome can play the field regularly anymore). But if they can hold it together for a couple months it's a good move.

I'm not even touching the Manny thing. The whole media shitshow that surrounds any big name leaving Boston is just tiring at this point.

Yeah, I believe its in the "pending approval" stages. This move should help both teams.


Meanwhile, I guess Manny is getting his wish to leave the BoSox. I think the AL East will be celebrating the most if he gets traded to Florida.
