I read the Cubs want Allan Webster.

Won't be as good as the Braves deal, that's the only thing for certain.

Yeah, Cubs fans should really be pissed at Dempster. He fucked them out of Delgado, which was going to be way better than what they get from the Dodgers.

Hm, probably would be a choice among Cleveland, Tampa Bay, and Miami.

Do the Astro's actually get people to come to their games at this point?
Astro's were one of the first teams I thought of as removing them and another team sounds better then moving them to the AL and interleague play all year long to me ><:

my thoughts as well, and I can't really blame a guy for not wanting to go to certain teams.

I was thinking about Houston, but they have a new owner and that new TV deal (think they're getting around $80 million per year from Comcast), so I think they'll be ok for now.

One source says the Mets have already rejected an offer from the Padres of reliever Luke Gregerson for Daniel Murphy.

That alone is intriguing, considering that Gregerson, a 28-year-old righthander, seems to fit the bill as a solid reliever who could upgrade the Mets’ bullpen immediately and be under their contractual control for the next two seasons as well.

Going into Tuesday night’s action, Gregerson was 2-0 with a 3.12 ERA, and has had streaks in the last couple of seasons where he has been dominant. This season he had a few rough outings in May that ballooned his ERA to 4.57, but since May 30 he has allowed only four runs in 24 appearances.

In any case, the Gregerson offer is evidence that there is solid interest in Murphy, and as hot as the Mets’ second baseman has been lately, hitting .443 over his last 21 games before going 0-for-3 Tuesday night, his value right now is probably as high as it will get.

Eh, I wouldn't mind trading Murph. Not for just a RP though. I get the feeling that he gets overrated easily, maybe Sandy can rob someone for him.

We beat Verlander earlier this year, but it's gonna take something special to do it again.
There's a greater chance of us getting no-hit today lol, but Zach's been consistent, hope he doesn't blow up today.

Barry Bonds looks like he's ready to return to the Pirates.

The Bonds hate is so stupid. Out of the hundreds of players who have juiced, he gets the most shit just because he was the best player to do it.

The Marlins have told teams that Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, and Giancarlo Stanton are not being moved. They like Buehrle and believe Reyes and others will perform better with Hanley gone.

They are reluctant to move Josh Johnson and Emilio Bonafacio, but would do it for the right package. Some say the Marlins are asking for a 2007 Teixeira package for Johnson.

Looks like the Dempster discussions may be dead all around. The Dodgers won't give up what the Cubs are asking for Dempster, but would give it up for Matt Garza, who is who they want more anyways.

Pirates Sterling Marte HR to lead off his first MLB game. Last player to HR to lead off first MLB game- Kazuo Matsui, 2004

And it was all downhill from there!

Jesus Christ the Astros really do suck. They're giving up HRs to rookies on their first hit, and HRs to Barmes? Shameful.
