walk off hit Castillo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also considering catching Dodgers@Cubs at Wrigley in May... but for one thing, the tickets are extremely expensive ($30ish for the worst seats in the house), and Wrigley and its inhabitants are really irritating. It's practically nothing but yuppies and douchebags. Recently I was watching a game from the 80s at Wrigley on the MLB Network... it looked amazing. Lots of mullets, TONS of dudes with no shirts on, and a bunch of people smoking. Wrigley changed a lot at some point in the last 10 years, I guess. I've caught about 3 games there since I moved to Chicago, and it's kinda cool to see a historic park, but the frat party atmosphere ruins the experience.Quote:

Anyway, I already have tickets, through a friend with partial season Sox tickets, for one Dodger game, and I'm probably gonna buy some cheap seats tickets for the other 2. Should be a great time running into drunken Chicago Southsiders early in the afternoon with an LA cap on.
Mets win!!!
(Randy Wolf isn't that good)...
What's Pedro's phone number? What do the Jays want for Halladay? Martin (not Russell)? Lambo? DeWitt? Take it all!
The Blue Jays want WAY to much for Halladay. They want more than what Atalanta gave for Teixeira.Quote:

Trade nelson cruz for a SP. Blalock, Marlon Byrd, somebody. I'd say it's pretty obvious your formula isn't working, Texas.
No.Quote:

I'll take it back if he keeps striking everyone out and getting all these groundouts. Nice!Quote:

They probably make enough money off people paying to come in and see their team hitting the ball far and hard that they don't care that the other team is also hitting the ball far and hard.
KUBEL!!!! Grand Slam, completes the cycle. Twins up 11-9!
If I was a fan of their team, I'd be super-frustrated every single year. To see such a great offense be a complete waste over and over and over and over.....Quote:

I'm not sure there's a team in all of baseball whose fans are more accepting of the fact that they'll never win a World Series than the Rangers.
De La Rosa and Wolf are dueling.
So far, KC pitchers have 91 Ks on the year, in 89 innings.
That's sick. Unsustainable....but amazing.
Why do the Mariners enjoy handing the game over to the bullpen and giving us fans a heart attack? :'(
I do like Kelley though and hopefully Lowe/Morrow/Aardsma can have a good game tonight, although that might be asking for to much :-\
Because they suck and they'd prefer to give you a glimpse of truth in April, rather than win a bunch of games and fall into complete ruin in June.Quote:

Loney + a prospect for Halladay.
Eh, the bullpen isn't TERRIBLE, but I would rather see the starter go longer.Quote:

If anything, we'll have a must stronger bullpen around mid season when Cordero/Fields/Aumont/Zimmerman join the pen. None of those last 4 are close to being 'locks' for mid-season jobs, espeically Zimmerman, but you never know.
lol, like I said, the only way they trade Halladay is for a huge lot of prospects similar to Atlanta/Teix trade.Quote:

Loney would do the trick, along with some attractive add-ons. Shhhh, don't tell any MLB GMs, but Loney needs to be traded before everyone realizes he isn't very good. As it currently stands, he's the guy teams are always asking for, non-Kemp division.Quote:

This won't happen until June or July.
If Broxton picks up this save, he is a badass, and my new favorite player.
I've heard Ricardi is one of the hardest GM's to deal with and him, and Toronto, are in love with Halladay. I think he's going to either be shopped for a very lucrative prospect package this deadline or he's going to re-sign with them regardless of how good the team is. Sort of like a Chipper Jones type thing. It would be wise to trade him, but the team probably won't.Quote:

I'm betting this won't happen... I don't think Halladay will be traded, and I don't think the Dodgers will be willing to part with Loney in the near future. So it's a moot point.
A 4 K, 5 out save. Broxton f*ckin' rules. I love this guy.
Go Dodgers! 6 in a row! :)
good, I have him on one of my fantasy teams :)Quote:

Indians score 14 in the 2nd at Yankee stadium.
As a Royals fan..I wish the Indians were losing, but god I love seeing the Yanks get beat.
I'm enjoying this Yankee game quite a lot.
That was really fun to watch.
I want MLB Extra Innings this instant. Man, I would love to watch that Yankees game. Is there any shady illegal Pirating sites where I could watch it?
It's on Fox...Quote:
