McCarthy and 2-3 other prospects for Soriano? Sweet.

R_GILL · Jul 24, 2006

Rios to come back as early as Thursday and as late as Aug 1st. Hopefully he can continue hitting well when he comes back as he looked like he had lost a lot of weight since being out.

Brian Fellows · Jul 24, 2006

How about this one from Yahoo.......

The Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers has cooked up a scenario in which the Chicago Cubs get Alex Rodriguez from the New York Yankees. Rogers says Aramis Ramirez and Jacque Jones could be enough to pry Arod away from New York. More

:lol :lol :lol

"Cubs placed first baseman Derrek Lee on the 15-day disabled list with post-traumatic inflammation of his right wrist."

That's not good.

How could a team in such a large market do so badly? (the Cubs) it really makes you wonder.

Lots and lots of practice

Seriously, nobody would trade for A-rod. His contract is insanely bloated for a good, sometimes great, player.

And with the way his popularity is, couldn't even really do it for jersey/ticket sales either.

Especially when the Cubs sell out every game anyway

White Sox trade minor leaguers Daniel Cortes and Tyler Lumsden for Mike MacDougal.

i agree that nobody would trade for him unless the yankees ate most of the contract but the rest of what you said is pretty ****ing retarded.

Foxsports rumors:

Donald Trump has interest in buying the Chicago Cubs, according to an interview Friday on 670 The Score in Chicago.

Trump, appearing as a guest on the "Mike North Morning Show," was asked if he would want to own the team: "I would be interested yeah. I think the Cubs are a great franchise, a storied franchise, an amazing franchise."

"It's sad to see what's happened to the Cubs, but management hasn't really done a good job over the years."

"I would certainly be interested in the Cubs," Trump said. The Tribune Company is reportedly considering selling the struggling team.

Developing...

That would be kinda weird.....

siamesedreamer · Jul 24, 2006

YIKES

That's a lot to give up for a two month rental.

With Soriano and Thome in that line up they will give new meaning to the nickname "Windy City".

Nice pick up with McDougal though. The Braves have better pieces to give up. Kinda ticked they couldn't have worked something out.

makes sense. a hateful, spiteful ex-met wants to get on the good graces of the met franchise by spreading rumors about the rival franchise thereby throwing them off-balance. brilliant.

_Angelus_ · Jul 25, 2006

Steve Phillips is a p.o.s. The guy is so clueless he tried to trade David Wright a few years back. Do not listen to anything this man says.

Crap, watching the ESPN Yankees broadcast, how the **** can they keep going on and on about this ARod bullshit. Do people really care that much, he had a tough weekend, got booed a little, oh my god let's make a week long series on it. Jeez, they haven't stopped talking about this bullshit all day.

EDIT: And they keep going on and on about it....shut the **** up

ESPN hates the Yankees and its obvious. They also hate baseball or else they would fire ****ing STEVE PHILLIPS.

How do you hire him? How? His voice sucks, he's ugly, and he is terrible at "baseball."

Ninja Scooter · Jul 25, 2006

"For the simple fact that Jared Weaver pitches, and ARod is a hitter. It helps BOTH teams!"

"I'm hearing that the Yankess may or may NOT be trading Alex Rodriguez. Right now nothing is set in stone, but Brian Cashman and George Steinbrenner may possibly meet to discuss whether or not they will or won't make a trade."

We're just now recovering from that great Mo Vaughn trade he made.

Were within one run now.

Strange but True: Chad Bradford, who leads the league in fewest amount of IR scored, comes into the game to the music "Over My Head".

Mauer made up for it though, ice water in those veins.

The Braves get ANOTHER 1-2-3 9th

They complete a 7-2 road trip

Are 2-0 sans the Joneses

I LOVE IT!!!

R_GILL · Jul 25, 2006

Ah crap Wells is out with a sore back.

Oh my Molina was actually able to run fast enough to get a double.

R_GILL · Jul 25, 2006

Jesus Christ throw some strikes Janssen.

Uh oh, this is going to be bad.

Damn it, Janssen needs to start pitching better or he is going to get sent back to AAA when Chacin is back.

Pfft. We're 4 games under .500 and only 4.5 games back in the Wild Card with only three teams to catch now instead of six or seven. In addition, most of the rest of our games are at home the rest of the season.

What does that equal???
