I was suckered into thinking we'd make a splash this trading deadline :|
and so it was
Smart move. Placate the fanbase with the ol "Keep Calm and Carry On" spiel. Mets injuries/pen killed them.Sandy will hold a press conference at 4:30. Wonder what he's gonna talk about other than making no trades.
Has to be a huge kick in the pants to Nats fans not to acquire a SP to replace Strasburg when he gets shut down.
Every time I read your tag I feel so bad for you.
So its guaranteed that the Rangers lose in the World Series for the third time in a row?

I still find it hard to believe that they'll actually shut him down. He'll probably hit that 160 IP limit with 3-4 potential appearances left on the season. Who are they going to bring up from the minors to replace him?
Is Strasburg going to be available for the playoffs?
there will probably be plenty of SP on the block in August once the WC race shakes out

Good luck getting anyone decent through waivers.
Most likely no unless they drop the whole IP thing which won't happen.
We'll have a rotation of Gio, Zimmermann, Edwin Jackson, and Detwiler. Lannan will be the 5th in September most likely.
Yankees acquire Casey McGehee from Pittsburgh for reliever Chad Qualls according to WFAN.
Why not cap him at 140 for the regular season and save those last 22 for the playoffs?Most likely no unless they drop the whole IP thing which won't happen.

so do the pirates turn around and trade McGehee? Yankees are intent on getting a poor-hitting 3b

Pirates get Chad Qualls? Beginning of the end.
At least we got rid of Qualls.Called it!
John Lannan.
Geeze, thats lame

Interesting, and then go to a 4 man rotation for the playoffs I assume?
lol someone actually willingly traded for Qualls.
The Yankees traded for him too... I don't get it
Man how did both Millwood and Vargas make it without being traded for bags of balls.
