I'll make a bigger deal about 34,000 in a week.

I remember when I was on posting paces like that...

I need to remember to rep you when I don't have to spread it around so you're rep count will go up.

I don't fully understand it, but it's a way to trade a player after the trade deadline. You have to put them on waivers, and then if a team picks them up you attempt to make a deal. Apparently it doesn't work out all that often. A LOT of guys have been on waivers this year.

thanks. that seems like a lot of things need to go right to make a deal.
limits your trade partner to one. basically a salary dump?

You know it!

Basically teams with money to spend i.e. Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Angels.

Watching The Truman Show

Love The Truman Show. Great movie.

Just when I thought I'd had enough of the Discovery Channel's gold shows, they come up with Bering Sea Gold - Under the Ice... and I'm hooked again.

My brother just suggested Carrey should have won an Oscar for that movie. I tend to agree with that. Going to log out, finish the movie, then head to bed. Later!

That's the way the big ones go, yes. If a team is putting a big money player on them they're clearing space (ala the Red Sox-Dodgers trade last week). Doesn't prevent other teams from putting in claims. The Pirates have been putting in quite a few, but if a team below puts in a claim? Well, kinda screwed there. Not sure the team that claims can "pass" if a deal doesn't work. I think most of it is for GMs to test the waters for the offseason. Justin Upton was put on them too, and I'm pretty sure he's gonna be an offseason trade candidate.

Orioles 15 games over 500 this late in the season. No matter what happens its been much more enjoyable than I expected. Tillman with a gem tonight.

Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Magic, magic, maaaaagic...

Unrelated note - I hate Deion Sanders and don't really like Eli Manning, but they are a pretty awesome combo in those DirectTV ads.

Don't you mean Peyton? I think its Peyton Manning and Deion Branch in the ads.

You know, now that you mention it, I think it's actually Peyton Hillis.
