Blanton (10.5) Victorino (9.5) are FAs and Hamels is already making 15 mil. So replace Blanton with a cheap starter and you have enough for the 25 or so annual salary for Hamels. Or of course and go back in time and not sign Howard lol.Where did they get this money?
do not question Strasburg's skills.He of the .500 BABIP?
3-3.5, and this is taking into account the shifted run environment. During the steroid era 4 was above average. Obviously the upper extreme (3.5) isn't as impressive as the lower extreme (3), of course, but half-season ERAs can look a lot better than end-of-season ones.
Fair enough. For some reason an ERA+ of 112-125 didn't seem that impressive until I looked at the career ERA+ leaders.4.00 is average for NL starters this season.

why is he in a 2 run game. why ozzie whyI am going to do a reverse jinx thing here and point out that Heath Bell has somehow managed to dominant the Nats this season despite pitching like a pile of crap otherwise.
Of course an Adrian Gonzalez home run would require a human sacrifice. If Ortiz is out for very long, I will be very sad. Very sad.
Because he is so good.why is he in a 2 run game. why ozzie why
i can start watching more closelyGood, H-Rod is up. Now I can stop watching this game.
Mariners completely blew their load for the season.

That happened?No. That is what the 21 run game was for.
Good thing they have a 14 run lead with Matt Capps pitching.Just looked at the box score for the Orioles game. Oh my god.
That happened?
