Marlon Byrd to the Yanks! Good time, as the Phils start a series with the Nats tonight

Phils sending Byrd to NY Yanks.

We were fooled. Why do people gotta retweet fake accounts

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Ha, the Byrd to Yanks was a fake twitter account.

 

[HammerDown]

Wow, things heating up as the clock ticks.

 

[HammerDown]

You guys watching twitter feverishly too?

This is all I'm checking. It usually re-tweets the valid posts. Not sure how the fake Jim Bowden tweet got out there...

Been refreshing twitter the last 4 hours waiting for the Nats to make a move

 

[element1286]

I can't remember what trade deadlines were like without twitter.

 

[molsaniceman]

Not that anyone cares

on Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Mariners have landed Chris Denorfia from the Padres.

About that fake Sherman account and the nitwit who reported the Byrd trade as fact...

Jim Bowden Caught Stealing From Fake Twitter Account, Deletes Everything

This is fun.

 

[hokiehi21]

Asdrubal Cabrera!!!

 

[molsaniceman]

Asdrubal Cabrera!!!

why would nats want assdrubel

 

[Darkstone42]

I wonder if Oliver Perez will be on the move. Now that Miller's off the market, he makes sense for teams pursuing left-handed relievers.

 

[hokiehi21]

why would nats want assdrubel

Because he's an upgrade over Danny Espinosa and his 101 strikeouts, .217 average and .283 OBP. Yuck. Welcome Asdrubal!

That might be the funniest RALPH I've ever seen....

Jim Bowden panicked.

• He first deleted his twitter photo so @JimBowdenESPNxm had an egg avatar and looked fake.
• He then transferred his account to His Marlon Byrd tweet is was still there.)
• His original, @JimBowdenESPNxm account was nuked, but it is now back—with 25 followers at press time. Someone is cybersquatting the account, is using Bowden's old avatar, and is following fake Joel Sherman and no one else.
• And just now, since I've been typing, @JimBowdiv has disappeared. We don't know where Jim Bowden went, and he's probably not going to receive the DMs we sent him. (Update: @JimBowdiv is back. For now. Here's a screengrab of his page, because he's a slippery Bowdiv. There's an updating thread in the comments below.)

We are convinced that Jim Bowden freaked out and physically flung his computer out the window. I don't care where David Price goes. This is the best part of trade deadline day.
Final update: Ralph.

 

[steveringo]

Orioles get Andrew Miller from Boston for Eduardo Rodriguez.

It's too fantastic for words.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Welp, good to see that every team the Jays are fighting for a playoff berth with has gotten better...
