2010 MLB Season Discussion

Lopez is actually pretty good, but the other two are middle relief at best.

[Moss]

Yeah I figured the 19-year old was probably the best of the group. Not to be an overzealous homer, but Lee can be a beast and a move like this could be a HUEG boost to our WS chances.

Domonic Brown just CRUSHED a ball into the upper decks in RF.

It hit the moon then landed in the upper deck

Heyward is fucking money, I love it

[Akiyama]

Doin work man.

[Alderaan]

Nice to see Heyward come up in that situation again. The kids been struggling for a while now. Still seems like he was producing more in the 7th hole than in the 2nd though.

ANyone in the BG or any ESPN league for that matter having issues with the live updates on their pitching staff? My hitter's live stats update but my pitching doesn't or it only partially updates.

Yeah I have been having some issues. I don't really check on the stats live, but there are times when one of my pitchers starts and it doesn't show any stats at all.

Dear Braves,

Stop it.

Love,
Philadelphia.

[Moss]

You guys need to stop so we can gain some ground >.>

Why can't the Angels move into the AL East?

The RS have developed an interesting strategy to launch themselves into the postseason this year. When the Rays and Yankees are playing sub .500 ball, the SOX squander each opportunity to overtake one of them and play sub .500 ball themselves. Then when the Rays and Yankees start winning again, the SOX start winning again. It's some sort of fascinating reverse psychology...

One of these days Adrian Beltre and Bill Hall will remember that they are old and bad at baseball. I hope it happens sometime soon.

I'll give you Hall, but Beltre's a stud over there in the hot corner.

[Cephius]

He hasn't had an OPS north of 800 since he hulked out in 2004, and all of a sudden he has a .929 OPS this year. I hope the Sox give him a huge multiyear deal so I can observe the mile-wide crater he leaves behind when he falls back to Earth. Dude simply isnt this good!

Sad news about D Lee, I guess the Cubs management has fully given up on the team, just like the city, the team itself, and the manager has. Guess Ramirez is the next to go, if we just pawned off the team captain.

As much as I've loved Derrek on this team, it's the right move. We weren't going anywhere, he's a free agent in the winter, so it's something for nothing basically. Ramirez is locked in next year around $15 million (unless he opts out, lol) with a club option/buyout available in 2012, so if he were to be traded it probably wouldn't be until next summer unless the Cubs pay a portion of his 2011 salary and buyout. And with Vitters struggling in the minors, it wouldn't surprise me if we hang on to Ramirez for a while or maybe move him to first next season.

The real problem with re-tooling is the other albatross contracts on the books for next season. Fukudome ($13.5 million), Soriano ($18 million), Zambrano (almost $18 million) and the Silva/Milton Bradley mess are really handcuffing any flexibility. Dempster's $13.5 million is also suspect. With Cincy's rise and St. Louis not going anywhere, it could be a while before we're anywhere near contention again.

Went to bed when the Reds blew their 3-1 lead and were down 7-3.

God damn I love this team.
