Phils pulled Lee back....(off waivers). Last I heard anyways.

I just read that the Dodgers claimed Cliff Lee and that they have 3 Days to work something out.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Yep. They claimed Lee and Blanton. They got money and wanna spend it..

Looks like Lee is sticking with the Phillies for now

Greinke gave up 6 earned in 7 ip tonight. Just thought you'd like to know.

What is his protest? Watching the Olympics and LAA @ CHW on Gameday. I see Greinke gave up 7H, 6ER and 2HR. One on in the bottom of the 10th.

Sox just walked it off. He's bitching about Konerko being outside the base path on a play that pulled pujols off the bag.

CHW 8 LAA 6 in 10. Greinke ND.

All Ianetta had to do was throw it right into Konerko's back and he would have been called out.

Scoscia IS the whiniest bitch in baseball, and there isn't even a close second. He cries and yells more than the other 29 managers combined. If I were an ump, I would intentionally make borderline calls just to piss him off even more.

does anyone think that we make any moves prior 1 September. i think we need to add a LH reliever and a LH bat off the bench

Think the bench is pretty well set, don't see any moves that can be made unless the LH bat can play SS, unlikely

LH reliever, maybe

can't find the article but i thought it said that they were looking to strengthen their middle infield backup and at the same time add another left-hand bat, gonzalez & young are not the answer for that

there is a news flash.

Gonzalez has been less visible than Blanco was in past seasons but he is there for his ability to field the middle and 3b.

Scutaro is out of the picture with his move to SFG ... so a move TEX might make to switch up UIF might be internally Luis Hernandez (.263/.317/.385/.635) has had 92 starts @ SS and 12 @ 2b for RR and would give TEX a hotter bat to sit on the bench.

Hernandez has no time @3b but with Olt on the roster Gonzalez is not needed to be a backup 3b ... so switching out to another veteran Hernandez would give TEX a switch hitting UIF who is better this year from the left side than the right.

If you know of somebody I'm all ears, my bet is they aren't even much of an offensive upgrade over Gonzalez, pickens are pretty slim when it comes to backup shortstops, you pretty much take what you can get

Very well thought out.

forgot we had him. makes sense to me. he provides more than we are getting from Gonzalez and it keeps Young off the field

Having Gonzalez or Hernandez is not going to keep MY off the field I am afraid ... although the rationale is now limited to only subbing for Kinsler. Or at 1b against a tough LHP on a day Beltre Dh's and Olt is at 3rd.

TEX most likely isn't looking much if any offense out of its UIF ... but with Soto here and Snyder gone ... all of a sudden bench might be Napoli, Olt, and Murphy/Gentry.
