what is the over/under on marmol walking in the tying run?

lol...that sucked

surely this has to be blanco's first IBB

i just saw the field and players it looks like some type of game may be on the verge of beginning

cubs don't get wang? NO DEAL

fukudome, blanco and miles next inning.... that gives me a feeling that is the opposite of good. Not feeling the Kosuke walkoff, huh? Didn't think so. i am feeling the blanco inside the park home run

i think we have all been going about this the wrong way. this team has made an art out of not scoring. it really is beautiful and majestic in its simplicity.

why would the royals do that??

think the nationals would suck it up and take him back in exchange for dukes? \:D/

I doubt he'd go after a shortstop. Hendry and Lou both seem to love Theriot and seem to be convinced he's a true SS. I would like to see a shortstop added and Theriot moved to second, but I doubt that's happening. As for Marshall, he's a solid 3-4 starter, not exactly a piece that should be traded for nothing. I'd much prefer Wells to be traded at his value peak than Marshall right now. right, i don't think marshall is a piece to be traded for nothing...but that seems that the general feeling around here at times

How does signing Pedro - without giving up prospects - hurt our future? Marshall is already in the pen and Wells is unlikely to be a mainstay in the rotation anyway. we have no use for pedro right now (i personally think both wells and marshall would be better than pedro), unless we are going to trade marshall or wells for a crap 3rd baseman who will play for a month and then not be heard from again. And i think it is fairly obvious at this point that a marginal upgrade at third for a month will have no impact on whether we make the playoffs or not. How is that mortgaging our future though? If Marshall is traded I can understand, but Wells? The best idea is probably to trade him now while his value is at it's highest. Also, adding a second baseman who can hit better than Fontenot has and, perhaps, who can play some third as well would help us throughout the year and not just for the next month. Plus, Aramis will still need numerous days off most likely, to let his shoulder rest. There will be uses for whoever we might acquire. The question of how effective Pedro might be is legit, however. It's encouraging that his stuff seems to be good, though. the roster is in a real pickle as it currently stands...however...adding pedro would be very wise it would free up marshall and wells marshall...well...he is decent...but i don't think he is this future piece everyone refers to him as... well...sonnanstine is who he reminds me of...trade him now while his value is most likely at its pinnacle... i think it would be a curious and smart move to land a short stop instead of this stop gap thirdbaseman that keeps being brought up on these boards... if hendry gets pedro...i would bet money that he would then pursue a short stop or an outfielder...i don't see a stop gap thirdbaseman

i would be pretty stoked if we got pedro...pitching depth is good and opens us up for the deadline that being said, i really will be shocked if we somehow land him :pig:

Bradley also OPSd .947 between Oakland and San Diego in 2007 so last year wasn't a complete fluke. The problem with him is injuries. that and him also being better from the right side which...well...we all know where this leads

any details regarding the snag?

so, why the hell does fox not start again?

what are you talking about, all this time i was operating under the delusion that it was the 2007 Rockies

JAKE FOX CAN DIVE AND CATCH ALL AT THE SAME TIME OMG

i really really hope pujols never ends up being a user

hey, maybe when we make up these games, how many now 3?...we will be playing better ball and have ARAM back in the saddle again oh and peavy and roberts and beltran and street and hawpe and lopez

very similar to hermida...lots of potential i would be shocked if the angels were willing to part with him though

We're stuck with Bradley. I don't see Hendry trading for a RF and I don't see another team being interested in Bradley especially with how he's been so far this season. wait, isn't hawpe not so hot against lefties? they could have a platoon...

if we get hawpe...wow to think we could have started this season off with the same outfield as last season, possibly picked up a hudson or lopez, and still be in position to land the very player we are rumored to be going after... curious

i love watching this team
