Didn't know MLB hired writers for the Onion to work on some new scripts. Won't someone please thinking of the merchandising???

The best part about this whole thing is Utley was wearing a cancer foundation shirt that many MLB players were wearing today during BP. Not only is Joe Simpson an idiot, he's a tremendous rear end in a top hat.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
I am glad the Braves didn’t overpay or pay at all for Moustakas and I hope they don’t add Archer or any other rental if it costs anyone potentially decent. (With the obvious exception of Beltre, get him on board.)

Well it's the Mets, and it's the Yankees, so they probably want Torres, Andujar, plus prospects just so they can brag about fleecing the Yankees, instead of asking for a realistic return.

For deGrom that is a realistic return.

Archer wouldn't be a rental. He has a cheap deal for a couple more years.

Ah, that explains the asking price then.


Allard wouldn't be the worst to lose, although with Soroka and Gohara out he is maybe the closest to contributing.

Joe Simpson needs to be let out to pasture. Francoeur and Paul Byrd are both legitimately great color guys and i think just having one of them in the booth would make Chip that much better.

Even Chip Caray's been getting better as of late, its mostly Joe Simpson bitching about non good old boy poo poo

I hate to go back to the Joe Simpson thing but Jeff Francoeur is a legitimately great color guy. Him and Paul Byrd are really good at talking about some of the finer points of baseball and bringing up things people wouldnt normally consider and i really wish they'd go with Chip, Francoeur and Byrd as a three man booth.

Big caveat to that is that Texas has to be convinced that Gohara is healthy so theirs a good chance the trade doesn't go through

Yeah that sounds like a huge caveat, especially if "healthy" is broad enough to mean mentally ready to be effective after all he went through this year. I was just writing off this season and hoping he'd put it back together next year -- which he absolutely could do, just a big gamble.

Really like Gohara and think he’s poised for a good few years after this. But god do the Braves need bullpen arms.

Maybe that's why Allard got pulled from his start today, to potentially sub in place of Gohara if the Rangers don't like what they see.
