I would rather sign Nook Logan than trade anything of value for Byrd.

very good move by the Brewers - me no likey Who will play CF until Cameron is off suspension though?

I am always scared when the ball is hit to Floyd

I think Cedeno makes it over Fontenot - need a back up SS. Is Hart eligible? - wasn't he a sept callup

Not this year IMO

Why shouldn't he be a candidate? I don't think he should win but I think he is top 5.

that fans reaction was great

wow - I didn't they were going to get 2 after the bobble

line drive and can of corn is the same thing?

he hit it at someone but at least he hit it on the nose

?? Did it show her? someone posted her pic when Lee was up

rally girl comes thru again

fwiw - rotoworld has us signing Tomohiro Nioka (Japan) - Nioka, who is wrapping up his ninth year with the Yomiuri Giants, could be the best shortstop available as a free agent this winter. The 31-year-old hit .289/.329/.472 with 25 homers last year and is batting .294/.340/.456 with 17 homers in 412 at-bats this season. Nioka's power probably wouldn't translate very well over to the majors and he's not a basestealer, but he would offer very good defense. The Cubs, Giants, Cardinals, White Sox, Tigers and Blue Jays all figure to take a look at him. Prediction: Cubs - two years, $10 million and the giants signing Kosuke Fukudome (Japan) - With Jermaine Dye off the market, Fukudome could be viewed as the top corner outfielder available this winter. The left-handed hitter has had three 1000 OPS seasons in Japan, the last coming when he hit .351/.438/.653 in 2006. He was at .294/.443/.520 with 13 homers in 269 at-bats this year before requiring surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow. He should be fully recovered within a couple of months, and it's doubtful that the injury will scare any teams off. Fukudome has plenty of experience in center, but he is likely to play right field in the majors. With his 20-25 homer power and on-base ability, he projects as an above average regular. The Red Sox are believed to like him, but they have no place to put him unless they move Manny Ramirez. The Giants could do a lot worse than signing him as their Barry Bonds replacement, and the Mariners should give serious thought to signing him and trading Richie Sexson. Prediction: Giants - three years, $36 million here is the link for their FA predictions http://www.rotoworld.com/content/features/column.aspx?sport=MLB&columnid=2&articleid=28803

They have played games in the rain - if it isn't raining hard they should be able to get it in

I think he is better than Floyd out there

It is an AL record and he tied the overall record today(Jim Kaat I think)

I haven't seen this posted and I can't stand the sox but that is some feat for a power relief pitcher to get 13 2/3 perfect innings in a row. He did it today and helped his cause by getting his glove on a rocket hit back at him and Dye made a good catch.

I thought the same thing -

Why are fans booing - we just got a run

Well, hell, then he should've just walked into the dugout and not bothered sliding. It doesn't matter what Jones "knows" because the umpire evidently didn't know it. it was an easy play. simple throw to third to get him on the force. like I said, JOnes knew he was out. should players fake it everytime it's a close call just to fool an ump (who the vast majority of the tme, will get the call right)? There was no way possible for him to stay on the base w/ that slide - w/out that slide the ump gets the call right. I think yes, they should. Play until it's over. Why wouldn't you -- is it not smart to attempt to get every advantage you can? every advantage? i guess so. but all I keep thinking is that jumping on Jones for his reaction is unfair -- what is running through his head is expected and fine. i just don't expect a player to be that quick when the natural reaction is, "I'm out, and it was obvious." He's not going to think "I'm out, it was obvious, and now I'm going to take the chance that the ump didn't see it and make a jackass out of myself by 'cheating' i n front of everybody..." you are taught as a little leaguer to stay on the base till the umpire calls you out. jones made no attempt to stay on the base or even get back on the bag

Hes pitched alot lately and hes looked bad with his command of late. Looks like he is coming in anyway.

Why does Marmol need rest?

since he was a minor league FA do we have rights to him past this year if he stays in the minors?

I am not a fan of the trade but Kendall did have a pretty good June .295 .326 .758

Soriano - I still think we paid too much for him and wish he could hit in the middle of the order but you have to overpay for big bats. Derosa - better than I expected and I was high on him - better defender than expected - he has been so good everywhere else so I wouldn't mind seeing him get some more time at SS. I don't know where we would be without him this year. Lilly - I liked it at the time and still do - solid #3 starter Marquis - lot of $$ for a pitcher which his ##'s but he has certainly been better than expected so far Floyd - hard to give Hendry credit for signing a player who wanted to play here and could have gotten more from another team. I just hope his option does not vest - how close is he to being on pace for 550 plate appearances? Ward - great signing - we needed a solid lh bat off the bench and got him for a reasonable price Aramis - well done Blanco - not so much
