hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Looks like one of those effectively wild outings is in store for Carlos. Those are always fun. You never know when he'll walk the bases loaded or retire nine straight batters on 20 pitches. Dangit Rammy.

Gaudin is already in the Cubs' pen. I'm curious to see what his stuff looks like.

Tim Hudson!

I ate a banana!

Welp, no need for a sac bunt there.

Mike Fonteneaux!

Dempster doesn't have his best stuff tonight, but the ump is squeezing him around the edges of the zone.

Hairston giveth many a web gem tonight.

Magic.

Mike Fontenot loves him some Banks Boulevard.

Ezequiel Astacio and it's not even close. He looks like a burn victim.

4 pitch walk, 3 pitch strike out. Sounds about right.

STRIKES

I'm curious to see what the corresponding moves will be with Donaldson and Patterson gone.

I think getting Hudson is doable, but it depends on what the Braves' demands are. It also depends on whether Hendry thinks the rotation is set.

Life is good. :D Gallagher is the guy I'll miss the most. Murton and Patterson had nowhere to play. Donaldson is the diamond in the rough in the deal and, quite frankly, could end up being the guy we'll miss the most when all is said and done. However, Harden and Gaudin is a terrific gamble on Hendry's part. I really like it!

they had a writer from toronto on the score today talking about this, he said it was a long shot and would require a good package but isn't completely out of the question I'd kill for Halladay, but I just don't see the Cubs having the ammunition to pull that kind of a deal off.

Ned Yost is full of intrigue. He's the Brewers' worst nightmare! \:D/

Whoops.

Hudson and Burnett are probably about equally as non-durable. probably not. Looking at their track records, I guess you're right. Either way, all 3 guys are solid options, IMO; just stay away from Wolf. Hudson has a really good track record health-wise. I'd worry about PAP with him, but he's been consistent and solid throughout his career.

Rain gives Iowa the day off.

Nifty. Are both going to Boise?
