Re: MLB
i love how some people are now clamoring to trade justin verlander. these were the same people 2 years ago bitching that they absolutely needed to re-sign him because he's been the face of the franchise, and how letting him walk would dispirit the entire fanbase.

Re: MLB
a lot of people keep mentioning that the cubs should trade for price. but the cubs would be absolutely boneheaded for doing so when they can just spend the money (and not prospects) in the offseason to sign him. he's already dropped hints that he wants to play for maddon again.philpritchard wrote:Price and Cespedes suuuure would be a nice fit in Toronto.spike wrote:it's sounding like the tigers will be sellers. congratulations, skitch!

There's value to adding him for the home stretch this year, though.Chris_H_2 wrote:a lot of people keep mentioning that the cubs should trade for price. but the cubs would be absolutely boneheaded for doing so when they can just spend the money (and not prospects) in the offseason to sign him. he's already dropped hints that he wants to play for maddon again.philpritchard wrote:Price and Cespedes suuuure would be a nice fit in Toronto.spike wrote:it's sounding like the tigers will be sellers. congratulations, skitch!

Re: MLB
of course, but i don't think adding david price is getting them over the top is all. the way i see it, if they're not close to winning the WS with him, i would hate to see them lose prospects.philpritchard wrote:There's value to adding him for the home stretch this year, though.Chris_H_2 wrote:a lot of people keep mentioning that the cubs should trade for price. but the cubs would be absolutely boneheaded for doing so when they can just spend the money (and not prospects) in the offseason to sign him. he's already dropped hints that he wants to play for maddon again.philpritchard wrote:Price and Cespedes suuuure would be a nice fit in Toronto.spike wrote:it's sounding like the tigers will be sellers. congratulations, skitch!

Maybe. What teams could match up with the top of that rotation, though?Chris_H_2 wrote:of course, but i don't think adding david price is getting them over the top is all. the way i see it, if they're not close to winning the WS with him, i would hate to see them lose prospects.philpritchard wrote:There's value to adding him for the home stretch this year, though.Chris_H_2 wrote:a lot of people keep mentioning that the cubs should trade for price. but the cubs would be absolutely boneheaded for doing so when they can just spend the money (and not prospects) in the offseason to sign him. he's already dropped hints that he wants to play for maddon again.philpritchard wrote:Price and Cespedes suuuure would be a nice fit in Toronto.spike wrote:it's sounding like the tigers will be sellers. congratulations, skitch!

this is always my dilemma with prospects. you want them to stock your farm system so you can one day use them to acquire talent, but you're too afraid to flip them because you're scared that they'll one day turn into a john smoltz. but yet hanging on to them and you risk them petering out with nothing in return. it's always a gamble.

The Feds have dropped their investigation into Barry Bonds. He was appealing an obsturction conviction. That charge was overturned in April and the Feds said they would not pursue the case further.

While sporting an average fastball velocity of 84.1, Mark Buehrle has a 1.52 ERA in his last 9 starts. In his last 14 starts, it's 2.24.

Re: MLB
In 2007, Buehrle and Roy Halladay faced each other twice. They split a pair of 2-0 decisions, and they each threw a complete game in their loss. The game times were 2:07 and 1:50.Fuck You Jobu wrote:As a Cubs fan, I would turn on Sox games just to watch him - similar to how I did when Maddux went the to Braves.philpritchard wrote:When the Jays got him, I thought he was a nice addition.
