Good to see Josh Reddick playing at such a high level. Just needs to stay on the field.

So Houston is for real or not?

Don't get too wound. I seriously doubt this happens.

A's are finally showing signs of life.

They're on their annual tear. Will be interesting to see if they can sustain it. I don't think they will.

Hope you are right. Would hate to see good farm prospects go...even for Hamels.

I think they can. Their (starting) pitching and offense have both been pretty good. 6-18 in one-run games is shitty luck, especially when you look at how they lost those games.

How the Oakland A's are 2-15 in one-run games - SBNation.com

We shall see. I can't envision anyone running away with the AL West though.

Rangers want to compete




Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports that the Phillies will acquire Matt Harrison, Alec Asher, Jerad Eickhoff, Nick Williams, Jorge Alfaro and Nick Williams in exchange for Cole Hamels and Jake Diekman.

Alfaro, Williams and Thompson are the three best prospects in the deal, and represent a nice return package for the Phillies. The Rangers get another ace to pair with Yu Darvish for the next few seasons as they strive to return to glory in the American League West.

If they Angels don't release Salas by tomorrow, I'll be shocked.

Rough week for the Angels.

0-6 vs the Dodgers and Stros and 1-9 in htier last 10.

Went from 1 game up in the division to 4 games back

Rangers on a 4 game run...need to make it 8 outta 9, or 11outta 14 or so, to have a shot.
Astros ain't backin down.

Rangers are dangerous right now with all their pitching coming back and throwing well. Going in to the beginning of the season they were without their #1, #2, and #3 starters (Yu, Holland, Perez). They managed to stay close to .500 till the allstar break, picked up Hamels, and got Holland and Perez back now.

They are a serious contender for the AL West. AND they have Hamels for next season too, so their rotation will look very salty. What looked like a disastrous season is turning into a fine one with a TON of upside for future years.
