Kind of hate the Ubaldo trade. We waited a decade to have a ton of arms in the minors and just traded away our two best for a guy who has lost his FB velocity. Also the third pitcher in the deal is an extreme sinkerballer having a bad season in AA. I wouldn't mind it if we didn't already have a "former #1" on our staff trying to figure shit out.

Indians FO getting cold feet?

 

[talisayNon]

apparently cashman tried to trade hughes for ubaldo, citing the "struggling pitcher for struggling pitcher" angle.

Do you think the Rockies GM waited to hang up before he laughed uncontrollably?

There was that thing someone reported earlier about the Yankees asking the Rockies to do a physical on Ubaldo. They supposedly refused and the Yankees immediately shut down discussions. Might be something to it.

I think I'm done arguing about Howard. I don't want to be "the Howard guy."

Someone GIF Bell falling down on the foul ball in the O's game.

Mets have been shut out four previous times this season. Other starting pitchers: Halladay, Lincecum, Jurrjens, Kershaw. Now Maya?

I was surprised Maya didn't give up any runs tonight.

 

[Sharp]

Y2Kev?

I was surprised Maya didn't give up any runs tonight.

He got taken out quickly enough not to do too much damage.

 

[darkside31337]

Ubaldo deal isn't official official yet, it's pending a physical being taken tomorrow.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[sazabirules]

Y2Kev?

He got taken out quickly enough not to do too much damage.

It looks like we won't be seeing him again since he hurt himself tonight.

 

[Windu]

What do you mean? I was just responding to someone who acted like I thought this game meant Howard has been consistently good this season. It was a good game. I was just responding to Yankeehater about the mediocre player comment and made my point.

its just that you keep on using stats like RBIs to argue your point.

heh good point.

 

[Jangocube]

Where's jangocube?

Chillin

Nothing like calling up a struggling rookie who was sent down to fix mechanical issues but never did only to struggle even more in AAA when he was down to be called up against the stem cell allstars!

O's pitching is god awful. Throw in a little league park and there ya go...

Doesn't look like the O's are getting much here from what the initial reports are saying

 

[eznark]

Y2Kev?

Jon

Jon

What happened to Jon?

 

[Joey Fox]

What happened to Jon?

Earlier this season he said it was really boring how the Phillies kept winning all the time.

Expect to see him more when the playoffs are coming.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Bruce Bochy just told a beat reporter the Giants are going to announce another trade tonight.

Giants will announce a trade tonight, Bochy says.

Bourne? Derrek Lee? Old Hoss Radbourn? Hopefully we'll have the answer soon. Players know squat.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if it's Bourn you have to imagine Gary Brown and Belt are involved, no?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

CBS Sports reveals the Giants trade:

Giants have acquired Orlando Cabrera from the Indians. No word on what the Indians are getting back yet.

 

[Sharp]

Jon

Oh yeah, Jon was cool though... he posts about the Sixers. I think he just can't handle success.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Thank god for the Giants. Taking Garko and Cabrera off our hands.

 

[zychi]

Anyone watch "the franchise" on showtime? Show about the Giants? Just saw an ad during the mma fight. Gonna try and check it out.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol didn't the Giants get enough of Garko 2 years ago?

 

[Sanjuro]

Did the Indians even give up anyone decent? Just heard trade happened.

 

[Y2Kev]

No, never. I had a psyduck avatar years ago. Because psyduck is the best pokemon and is awesome.

But I don't really enjoy Psylidge, I don't get it.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Rafael Furcal to the Cardinals is a done deal as Furcal has officially waived his no-trade clause. Dodgers will be getting a minor-league OF back that is not in the Cards' 40-man roster.

DERREK LE-EDIT: Pirates are close to acquiring 1B Derrek Lee from the Orioles. The Orioles would get back high-A 1B Aaron Baker.

 

[Square Triangle]

So pumped for this Weaver vs. Verlander match up tomorrow. My predition, as biased as possible-

Verlander 8.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 9 K

Weaver 7.0 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 10 K





I really am not worried about Ubaldo Jimenez going to the Indians. I mean we all know the Tigers will fall apart sooner or later and the White Sox will end up clinching.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Deal done. Derrek Lee to Pirates.

 

[Windu]

CBS Sports reveals the Giants trade:

Cabrera is even worse than Tejada, great trade Sabean.

 

[Toth]

Geez what else is there for the Yankees to get

Trust in Cash!!!!.............?

 

[Y2Kev]

the indians are getting like everything

 

[alr1ght]

Did the Indians even give up anyone decent? Just heard trade happened.

Cabrera trade? no.

Ubaldo? Pomeranz was the #5 overall pick last year. so, yes.

 

[Spooks]

O-Cab gone? Woooo!

Not bad although he basically does what Overbay does. So im not sure what they are thinking.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Indians land Ludwick tomorrow also.


Keith Law kills the Giants:

keithlaw
The Giants, tired of playing a statue (Tejada) or an automatic out (Crawford) at short, acquire Orlando Cabrera, who is both

--- /// ---

Did the Indians even give up anyone decent? Just heard trade happened.

3 out 4 of our top pitching prospects.

Pom is the big star (in A ball now)
White is MLB ready
Gardner has an elite sinkerball (but is struggling in AA)

 

[NomarTyme]

Goodbye Furcal! You're never healthy.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

terrible move for indians, they aren't as good as they think they are
then again, glad they got him and not the yanks or red sox.

 

[Macattk15]

FFFFFFFFFFFFF Bedard isnt gonna be gotten by anyone is he?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Indians demanded Ubaldo take a physical before the deal became official. They are currently awaiting the results.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

lol @ nats balking at including storen.

Span is a pretty good CF.

 

[darkside31337]

Indians demanded Ubaldo take a physical before the deal became official. They are currently awaiting the results.

It was utterly inexcusable and beyond any kind of reason to not only have Ubaldo start the game with that deal far along but then to have him throw 45 pitches in an inning, really?

I can't imagine the Indians were too happy about how it went down today.

#Nats - #Twins talks have become a "staredown," according to source. MIN waiting for WAS to include Storen.

 

[Sharp]

Just make the fucking deal.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Clearly, the Twins are waiting for them to offer Wilson Ramos back.

 

[Sanjuro]

terrible move for indians, they aren't as good as they think they are
then again, glad they got him and not the yanks or red sox.

Glad we didn't get him as well.

I still scratch my head a bit here. Indians are having an excellent year, but they are the lightning in a bottle team much like the Giants.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I missed the second Yankee game today, so... 12 first innning runs? Oriloles.

 

[darkside31337]

Glad we didn't get him as well.

Uh, if they won the WS and Ubaldo is a big part of it, it's one of the GOAT trades in Cleveland history. Flags fly forever. Ubaldo would get a statue built the day after they won in a city like Cleveland.

WhiteSox seeking rotation depth. Traded Jackson to save money, now concerned they're too thin.

Way to go there Kenny.

 

[Square Triangle]

Yep Derek Lee is now a Buc. Poor guy, just keeps going to team after team.
