Perfect game over. Justin Upton home run

Cueto now... 5IP 0H 0BB 8K's 58 pitches, 43 for strikes. Sick

Johnny Cueto is dominating the D-Backs right now. Perfect game through 4 innings with 7K's

My brother overreacts all the time. Him: "They're down 8-2!?!?!" Me: "Yeah, they're gonna lose, what else is new" Him: "I can't believe it, they're already gonna be 3 games back after this is over" Me: "It's only been 2 games" Him: "So what, that doesn't mean anything" Me: "You're making me stupid" My brother also thinks Rich Hill is crap, we should've traded Murton for Byrd, Jon Lieber is awesome, and Felix Pie will never ever be good

In the grand scheme of choosing talent over risk, Rich Harden is one pitcher who I would avoid despite having loads of talent. He gets injured way too much and would cost a king's ransom even though it took him 3 years to pitch one full seasons worth of games (32 starts over 3 years). I don't trust that kind of unreliability, and Beane will make a killing off of Harden's upside alone I would assume. I wouldn't like it if that were the case

How much does it cost to even sit on one of the rooftops on average?

Isn't he concerned for his entire career now after that set back he had in spring training? What was it again? If he doesn't bounce back it sounded like his career is in jeaopardy

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3324343 Thanks for beating a dead horse, ESPN. Hard hitting journalism at its finest. I'm sure that's what Alou wants to be asked 5 years after the fact.

christ, i thought today's game was bad enough...no need to hit the panic button so quick and are you REALLY prepared? Amen. This isn't really an issue of the Cubs "injury reports." Z has had this problem on an off for the last few years. He needs to be drinking more water/sports drinks before and during his starts. Nothing more. Don't be so naive, guys. "Forearm cramping" in Cubs injury report terminology means "inoperable severe brain tumor", we all know that. His goose is cooked

I think it's safe to say he wasn't throwing real baseballs. I'm sure they were a padded ball of sorts, which probably made the movement easier to achieve. Either way, these videos are awesome

You bites your tongues, Melky Cabrera is the second coming of Jesus!

1. Male 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. No 5. Definitely 6. Mark Prior and Kerry Wood (but in all seriousness, terrible management)

If the Tigers end up with less wins than the Cubs, I'll barf a fart

My vote is for Enter Shikari's "Mothership", which I thought would make a perfect song for a closer the moment I heard it, based on the heavy pump up intro and the lines "Go tell all your friends that this is the end". And the anthemic singing in it would be awesome if everyone in the crowd sang along with it

Just looked at his stats and realized I was thinking of someone else. I take that back. His stats are gross.

Fixed That's hilarious. Oh, and this is sarcasm. Sorry. Didn't think it'd be that big a deal given the recent miscommunication. My bad

$3 million was too much of a burden? Man, Milwaukee is cheap. I wonder if the Nats will go after him. Their rotation is fubar, he might be the #1 or #2 in that rotation.

Fixed

Nooch

+1. If we traded Murton for Byrd I was gonna crap a hernia

I've been meaning to quote the Cliff Floyd line in my signature for a few weeks now but never got around to it. Yeah, the book is hilarious, and awesome. Even if you don't play Fantasy Baseball, you should still buy this book, it's an awesome bathroom read

GEOVANNY SORTO IS TEH SXE

Attack of the renegade commas Confounded fingers and their stupid typing

He'd likely be a relatively cheap alternative to fill a position Hendry is hellbent on filling, and allows us to utilize Murton in a trade for something else other than crappy Marlon Byrd. If we sign Reed we can throw Murton in a deal for a better player (if there will be another deal, anyways), since I would assume Murton still has a decent amount of trade value I thought Jim's been open to trading Murton ever since he signed Fukudome. Wasn't there a story around the time he made the "life would be easier if Murton were LH" comment that he was trying to trade Matt to a team where he'd have a chance to play? What valuable piece is Murton going to net us? He's never been untouchable, so if the Orioles wanted him for Roberts, that wouldn't have been the hold up. If we get Reed Johnson, I don't think Jim's going to try to get Byrd or Crisp. So what good is it to trade Murton now? At this point, unless we're trading him for an upgrade somewhere (SS, SP), I'd rather have him as a 4th OF than trade him for nothing. If Soriano misses time with leg issues, I'd rather have Murton out there as a 2-3 week fill-in than Reed Johnson. Well, call me crazy, but I like to think Murton has the ability to bring back someone a little more valuable than Marlon Byrd. I'd love to have Murton as a 4th OF, but it appears he's going to be traded eventually, it'd be nice if they can sign Reed to avoid Byrd all together, and while Murton himself can't bring back anyone who is going to make a significant difference, he could probably be used in a multi-player deal to sweeten the pot. I'm not saying use him in the Roberts deal, clearly they didn't want him. That or the O's are idiots, which is likely the case. But still I think he could be more valuable as an add-on to a multi player trade than a one-for-one BS trade that nets us Marlon "I had the best year of my career one year ago in a hitters park" Byrd
