Morneau Hits Waivers!

[cezero]

Nefarious? Is it really evil to make a lot of waiver moves?

You're obnoxious.

that sucks .. stupid team owners

There, there Misky... He's not going anywhere...

 

[Chef99]

Not quite the same, but Manny Ramirez just got released by the Rangers. Could this finally be the end?

 

[Chef99]

My most hated baseball player type. The type that loses it all of a sudden, between one year to the next, without the benefit of an otherwise career ending injury. You were once a fantasy stallworth. Now, Paulie, you are dead to me.

He was always a tough sonuvabitch and I was thinking he might have at least one more year on the downside. But man, he just fell off that cliff.

"Now batting for the Tiajuana Toros of the Mexican League, Manuel Ramirez!"

 

[ImSmartherThanYou]

You're obnoxious.

I aim to please.

You're obnoxious.

Don't use words you don't know the meaning of to try and sound smart and he won't point it out.

 

[Chef99]

Barry Zito joins the club. I think it's a pretty good chance that he clears.

I doubt anyone is interested in him

 

[cezero]

The two of you combined together might form a complete idiot.

I permit you to respond with more idiocy, though I won't see it because you and your wonder twin are both on ignore starting now.

 

[cezero]

He cleared them.

 

[Chef99]

So Morneau can now be traded to any team after clearing waivers. I wonder where the interest is, if any? I think he's still got a chunk of money owed to him...

Wow, this will be interesting. Is he worth giving up a prospect for a rental? And who would take a shot?

Yeah, you misuse words you don't know the meaning of to sound smart, but we're the idiots. That's rich!

If ogando ends up going on the DL again the rangers might have interest in Haren.

He's been pitching very well lately; I think he goes tomorrow. What's the status on Colby Lewis these days? I know Harrison is out for the year now.
