honestly, i'd rather see the contreras for garcia deal go through.
it'll almost be like going full circle: the yankees swoop in to steal contreras from the red sox. then the yankees trade their best pitching prospect to the reds for aaron boone just so the red sox dont get freddy garcia. then boone goes on to hit that infamous homerun and completely deflates red sox nation. aaron boone gets injured which causes the yanks to get the red sox #1 priority....alex rodriguez. contreras is now stinking it up and the yanks would definitely trade him and to trade him for freddy garcia (who the red sox still want) would be...well that would be funny as hell.
hahaha

What do Trot Nixon and Michael Jackson have in common?
Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in Central Park when one is attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his stick, wedges it down the dog's collar and twists, breaking the dog's neck. A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Rangers Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Rangers fan," the little hero replied. "Sorry, since we are in New York, I just assumed you were," said the reporter. "Yankees Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack" he continued writing in his notebook. "I'm not a Yankees fan either," the boy said. "I assumed everyone in New York was either for the Rangers or Yankees. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked. "I'm a Red Sox fan," the child replied. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little Bastard from Boston kills Beloved Family Pet."

How has the Reds pitching finally shown it's true form? Aside from Paul Wilson they've been as expected and now even worse that the A's set a record for runs in a 3 game series. And they're still in first.
Granted they won't finish in first without picking up another starter and hoping Claussen or someone in AAA can get it going but they are hardly the terrible team that finished the season last year with the entire outfield injured and entire bullpen traded away.

If the M's make such a trade I shall contemplate going down to The Safe and killing Bill Bavasi and Howard Lincoln (then grab some Krispy Kreme's across the street). they need to trade for some hitting and only for hitting. 29 straight innings without a run, the M's haven't scored a run since monday...

Hoffman is great.
I didn't think Lofton was even capable of hitting Homeruns anymore, but Hoffman proved me wrong.
Now Vazquez can't get the loss, he is going ot be incredible for years to come.
