LaRoche headed to Braves. Jerry Hairston Jr. headed to MFYs.

Indiana Jones.

What about Carlos Pena? I know he's hitting shit for average this season, but it's not like we're keeping Delgado beyond this season anyway.

I would much rather have Victor Martinez come our way in that deal instead of to Tampa.

You must... believe.

"Asps. Very dangerous. You go first."

Hell, I'll do it. I have a great theme all picked out.

Rumor flying around: Mets talking trade with Cleveland and Tampa that might result in the prodigal son returning home. Yes, that's right - Scott Kazmir. [url:1g57httn]http://www.amazinavenue.com/2009/7/30/970076/rumor-mets-talking-3-way-deal-with?ref=yahoo[/url:1g57httn]

Rob Lowe fucked the whole thing up.

Finally got a new computer today. Since my laptop simply stopped working on Monday, I've been using my old laptop with a smashed screen hooked up to my TV. Cost of repair was nearly as much as cost of a new one, so I got a new one.

I've seen that one. No clue who that is.

I agree with smg. There's no independent verification for this, so every time a "leak" occurs, I have to assume it's a load of crap. It's guilt without evidence.

It's about how hard you can GET hit, and keep moving forward!

This season just keeps spinning right round...

It's probably somebody on this team, or else we wouldn't be talking about it. Am I right?

I'm talking about two years from now, not right this second.

No, I think Omar would blame this guy:

They can't let their baseball decisions be hampered and hindered by their investment in a Ponzi scheme.[/quote:2wm7tm65] Yeah, well, with the highest payroll in the league, there's no evidence of that, and Matthews' position is baseless.[/quote:2wm7tm65] I did say "if", and I say that regardless of what anyone writes in an article. Edgy DC Jul 29 2009 08:06 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Jul 30 2009 11:03 AM And I said "yeah." "If," then "yeah." But we're talking about a position summoned out of the air that doesn't deserve that sort of attention and consideration. I mean, yeah, if the Wilpons are insatiable flypeople raising their young from larva, they shouldn't be allowed to run the team. But just by indulging empty arguments like Matthews' and saying "yeah, if that's true, they should go" indulges his brand and culture of bloodlust and allows his ilk to control the argument. I mean, read upwards, and you see Ashie saying "I feel a snowballing effect that will cost Minaya his job in the very short term." Somehow perception is allowed to equal reality and an shallow, agenda-driven columnist has a broad control of perception and I think that's an awful influence on the ball team's success and the fanbase's culture.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 29 2009 10:56 PM Deadspin big-upped the Matthews story as well. But that's probably because it fits the Omar-as-boob narrative they've been crafting over there. While there should be no impact on day-to-day operations of the Wilpons' personal losses-- and anyone who suggests so doesn't understand how the accounting works, or is willfully ignoring it to ply their hackery-- it's entirely feasible that the losses lead semi-directly to the Wilpons' selling the team.

I wouldn't give him any credit for knowing anything. If anyone should be checking out that website for a douchebag name (see other forum) it's Wally. Later

I'll give it to Pittsburgh - they needed to do something to break their decade-and-a-half cycle of misery, and I think they might finally do it this time.

I really wish they'd bring back scheduled double-headers.

Hell, move Murphy to 2nd for a game.

Wow, that name is a blast from the past.
