Man, we basically traded our compensation pick for a slight upgrade to McGhee and fucking Qualls? Are you shitting me Neal Huntington? We could have at least used McGhee to back up Alvarez in 3B, what the fuck are we going to use Qualls for? Bulster up our minor league bullpen?

Ugh.....................

YANKEES ALWAYS WIN!
 
A lot of people reporting the Rangers package was originally meant for Matt Garza, but once they heard Dempster would approve the trade to them, they switched it to him because there are injury concerns with Garza.

I think he is long past his option years

Speaking of, I'm surprised nobody grabbed Dewayne Wise

Clearly the Pirates aren't used to being buyers at the deadline.

I thought initially that the Bucs were then going to acquire Headley in a last minute deal.

Yet they didn't have suckage concerns with Dempster?

So the Braves didn't do anything else eh. Aw well. The more I sit on it the more OK I am with Maholm/Reed. Bullpen is fine enough.

As much as I like Medlen as a starter, he is needed in the pen this year since it doesn't look like Moylan will make it back. Maholm was a great pickup.

About what? Casey McGehee is a scrub. It's like a wash of a trade, only Chad Qualls used to be good.

Personally really love the Travis Snider trade.

Because I'd rather have him back Alvarez at 3B, or even DFA him. Anything is better than trading him to the Yankees for fucking Qualls + cash. Hell, we could have just waited and gotten Qualls on waivers in a week....

I'm just mad that we've basically moved passed the dead line equal or worse to where we were before it, probably a tad bit worse considering we traded away our best bullpen player and failed to replace him. With the exception of the Wandy trade, we've pretty much made moves for the future, that may or may not help us this season or even in the future.

NH succeeded in not touching any of his prospects. He better hope a few of them amount to something decent.

So what's MLB-Gaf's take on breakfast hot dogs?

http://dudefoods.com/breakfast-hot-dogs/

I started off with two 1/4 pound hot dogs, wrapped each one with a slice of Nueske’s applewood smoked bacon and then cooked them in my oven for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

After that I took two Pretzilla soft pretzel buns, covered them with country style gravy, added the two bacon wrapped hot dogs and topped each one with a sunny side up egg.

My original plan was to cover the eggs with some of the country gravy as well, but they just looked way too perfect sitting there on top of the hot dogs for me to do that.

you replace the sunny side up eggs with over medium eggs and I would eat it... I just don't like how gooey sunny side up eggs are :P
 
Braves place Tommy Hanson on DL with lower-back strain. Kris Medlen takes his spot in the rotation. Expected to return when eligible on August 14.

Wren would not say whose roster spot Maholm will take.

We need to trade Tommy before the right side of his body falls off.
