Starling Marte called up. Pirates making a run boys!

I guess we're not going to make a trade for a big bat? At least not one that's going to command a top tier prospect... :/

 

[Fenderputty]

Cruz has swinging the bat well plus Uribe and Hairston hasn't been playing well

This is true. Hariston has been making a lot of mistakes lately. I guess they figure Handley can't do any worse.

Asdrubal just stiffed arm Miggy. Lulz

Kevin Kernan of the New York Post reports that the Yankees asked the Phillies about the availability of Ty Wigginton, but Philadelphia said they were "not ready to move him yet."

Yuck.

 

[Lambtron]

Yuck.

You all can have a slightly used Danny Valencia I'm sure.

 

[darkside31337]

Yuck.

Not even Amaro could possibly be that stupid to say that he wasnt ready to move TY WIGGINTON. Nope don't believe it.

I like Marte, should help the Pitates out alot.

 

[Gannd]

I'm glad we have the Amazing Spider-Man in right field.

HOMERUN!

I want a 1989 WS rematch!

I'd rather see the nats, reds or pirates instead of the giants in the WS.

of course I would rather see the white sox go to the ws this year, but if they can't I wouldn't hate seeing oak there.

Why would they trade him, they wont get much back for him, he doesnt make much money, and he has helped the team out lately. Trading him would be stupid.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I'm glad this writer on yahoo is calling Loria nd The marlins out for there firesale. Rightfully revealing that Loria scum bitch conned the citizens of Miami and Florida and killed the Expos. SEC is comin' for ya Loria.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Mike Nickeas has fially been demoted and Rob Johnson has been called up.

No brahs? I was expecting like 4 or 5 for this post.

Loria can never be referred to one.



Anyone else love this jerry Manuel, he is freakin' hilarious on MLBN. He just said brah right now too.

Because he sucks?

Phillies season is over. They should be looking to dump everything they have. Ty Wigginton is a terrible baseball person and has no future in the Phillies plans. To say hes not available in trade is utterly laughable.

I thought Bud Norris was supposed to have control problems.

With Polanco's back acting up he absolutely has a place on the Phils. The Phils season is also very far from being over. I think the Phils can still get to 88 or 89 wins which might be enough for the 2nd wildcard. There is absolutely no reason to trade players now. What could they even get for Ty, it is stupid to trade guys just for the sake of making trades.

 

[shwimpy]

Welcome to the Dodgers.

Welcome to the club Hanley, a standup triple

Nice first plate appearance with the dodgers there.

First swing too.

i guess anything is possible but uhh....i don't see them going 43-20 (88 wins). That would be a 111 win pace btw over 162 games.

12 vs nationals
12 vs braves
9 vs marlins
7 vs reds
6 vs mets
5 vs brewers
3 vs cardinals
3 vs diamondbacks
3 vs rockies
3 vs astros

If the phillies win 2/3 the rest of the way that would put them at 87 wins. (oh and you have to pass something like 6-7 teams in the process.)

good luck, you're gonna need it.

First stage is denial. Or maybe he's slipped into bargaining now.

 

[vas_a_morir]

A run. Yay!

Is it really a fire sale if the trades are good from a baseball stand point?

 

[Windu]

he is clearly still on the drink till i'm delusional stage.

 

[vas_a_morir]

It's a fire sale to me if the primary purpose is to gut the organization to save money.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

CoCo's got a real crisp swing tonight.

 

[dmag1223]

Bailey is not sharp at all today.

Good thing the astros are consistantly blowing each opportunity they have to score.

 

[darkside31337]

Seriously whats wrong with this though?

They were obviously not going to make the playoffs this year regardless if their payroll was 100 million or if its 30 million.

Blow it up, get prospects, and develop your young players and then try again.

 

[Windu]

a fire sale to me is them selling everything, which is not the case here. They are just getting rid of Hanley who is under-performing and Infante/Sanchez because they are out of contention and want to get useful pieces for players they do not have in their future plans.

Now if they trade Johnson...then i'd call it a firesale or just dumb.

 

[Dominican Power]

A's are having fun out there.

Nothing wrong with it. It's just what I define as a 'fire-sale.'

Lol, check out this picture:

Getting a tattoo, smoking a cig, drinking imported Japanese beer. (or, maybe those are trackmarks)

 

[The Frankman]

The Mets announced they have recalled C Rob Johnson from Triple-A Buffalo.

To make room on the active roster for Johnson, the Mets optioned C Mike Nickeas to Triple-A Buffalo.

In 42 games for the Mets, Nickeas has hit .168 with two home runs and 13 RBI with eight walks and 24 strikeouts in 101 at-bats.

Johnson played in 11 games for the Mets earlier this season and hit .313 with an RBI in 32 at-bats. He hit .207 with 20 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple, four home runs and 15 RBI in 45 games for the Bisons this season.

Nothing wrong with it, but when they've built a competative roster with the intent of winning and to sell a large number of long term season tickets in the new ballpark, then yeah, I can see how some people might feel a little duped and pissed about it.

 

[Gannd]

12 - 0.


The Athletics are having more fun than anyone right now. If they can get a solid SS who has a little bat, they'll be in a very good position. Hopefully, Chris Carter is the new everyday 1B.

I'm surprised we haven't seen many lifelongs appearing, to be honest. This is a Hell of a run.

I noticed that on Monday. I thought they showed him on the screen or something then I remembered Raw was on at the same time.
