jeter has a fracture in his hand but will play with it, brown has had a couple rehab starts but is still bothered by his lower back , mussina is still on the dl with his elbow thing, sheffield is playing with a messed up thumb and a shitty shoulder that will require off-season surgery, giambi's medication isnt working for his "parasites". he had to have cancer tests done, thankfully they were negative, theres no idea when he'll return. posada has been hitting .250 since he tried to hit a single with his face while sliding into second, matsui has been hitting .250 since the beginning of june, arod is hitting .218 with RISP, and to top it all off jose contreras has been the yanks best starter of late...

HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros announced today that the club has acquired left-handed pitcher Darren Oliver from the Florida Marlins in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Oliver will join the Astros tomorrow in Houston. A corresponding move to make room for Oliver on the 25-man roster will be announced following the club's game today at Arizona.
Oliver, 33, is 2-3 with a 6.44 ERA (42ER/58.2IP) in 18 games for Florida this season, including eight starts. In 297 career Major League appearances (226 starts) over 12 seasons from 1993-2004, Oliver is 86-79 with a 5.08 ERA (787ER/1393IP). He went 13-11 with a 5.04 ERA (101ER/180.1IP) in 33 games (32 starts) for the Colorado Rockies in 2003.
The Astros will be the sixth Major League team Oliver has pitched for, as the left-hander has also played for Texas (1993-98, 2000-01), St. Louis (1998-99), Boston (2002), Colorado (2003), and Florida (2004).

Muahaha, Marlins get rid of Oliver...thank God! By the way, his ERA is deceiving. He's actually worse than that! Expect to lose every time he starts. He couldn't even hack it at Pro Player stadium, one of the more friendlie pitcher parks. Good luck with him.
Oh and he even publicly complained about the fans. Saying why did we boo him all the time, he's doing his best out there, blah blah blah. 8 runs a game your best? Ahaha, loser!
Edit: And I can't believe that Mets trade turned out to be false. Mets tv was reporting it as fact. I can't believe those morons reported it as fact. Thats the Mets for you.

Beltran with another Jack.
:lol
This trade is basically going back to square one....
Except....
Dotel was a headcase, he needed to be put back in the 8th inning role.
Harry Spilman was killing our bats...Gary Gaetti is the man.
5 straight games now with 5+ runs.
Dotel/Buck for Beltran....now it's Beltran for Mota. (if it does happen)
We lose a catcher-prospect and get basically Dotel-lite. (great setup guy, dunno about mota at closer though)
Anyway, I love Gaetti.
FYI: Beltran has 10 HRs in an Astros Uni...
Cubs homered for the cycle today!
Solo shot, two run blast, three run homer, and grand slam!
13 runs today! 10 off of home runs though.
Just need walks. All we need. We need to start getting man on base for these jacks. Keeping their flicker of playoff hope alive right now! Now it's time to feast on the NL EAST!

Well, I expected the Astros to kill Arizona... after all, we've been playing nothing but red hot teams or first place teams for nigh on 2 months now. All due respect to cardinals (as they are playing well) but they've been playing mostly teams in slumps for the same period. Did I ever mention how I hate these unbalanced schedules? It's crazy how they are done with Chicago for the year and it's not even August yet.
