Bailey still horrible as a closer and already talks of the Red Sox looking for trades to find a new closer.
Last 2-3 years has been nothing but failed closers (Bard, Aceves, Bailey, Hanrahan, Papelbon's last year). Gomes with the walk off HR to end the game |

Jays are going to need to move a reliever when Reyes comes back. Currently have an 8 man pen.

Gert, if you are the Jays GM, are you a buyer or seller right now?

As much of a bummer as it is to see the Rockies get smacked around it was nice to see Esmil Rogers do well. Always seemed like an awesome dude.

Buerhle's contract is awful Dickey is unmoveable They won't deal Baustista or Encarnacion. Lawrie and Rasmus are too young The first person id deal is Arencibia. Worst catcher is baseball. Maybe sell high on Lind. |

Yanks got rained out so there's a doubleheader today.
Youkilis is back on DL for 10-12 weeks due to back surgery. $12 mil. for 20 someodd games and shitty defense. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. |

New details from the Miami clinic were revealed.
* MLB paid the marketing director of the clinic about $5,000 in order to gain partial access to the records they needed for their investigation. Also as a way to prevent players from purchasing it themselves. Tried to buy out the rest for another $10,000 but the guy refused and was already fearing for his life. * A-Rod supposedly bribed the founder of the clinic around $4,000 in order to make sure he wasn't exposed and any problems taken care of. * A-Rod also was still having meetings with the founder as late as last year's ALCS without the Yankees even aware these meetings were going on. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/stor...sis-crony-says |

This is the best run of pitching I 've ever seen the Jays do and that includes their championship runs. Allowed 4 runs in a 4 game set in Texas, shut out the Rockies then allowed 2 earned runs last night. It's hard not to get optimistic. Their defence HAS to improve though.

I haven't checked this thread in a few pages (because really, fuck that), but I gotta retract some of my comments on Davis from earlier. Dude's beasting right now. Obvs I'd love to see Miggy threaten for another triple crown, but watching Davis do his thing right now has gotta be one of the most fun things going on in the league atm. Sucks it had to come at the expense of the Tigers this past series...

Yeah, he's on fire. The thing I'm most impressed with is his plate discipline. His strikeouts are down, walks are up. He's turning the corner, I think. It's different when someone goes on a tear hitting fastballs only to fall back to Earth. Davis is legitimately getting better.

Jays win their 8th in a row. Allowed 5 runs over 3 games against the Rockies. Amazing.

Feels like it would be a roller coaster ride for a yankees fan this year. So many injuries, but a slew of overperformers.

I wonder if a package built around Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain would get Chase Headley out of San Diego at the trade deadline?

Why the fuck would the Padres trade their best player (having a down year but still) to the Yankees for a guy who is going to be a free agent (and who is also having a shit year)?
I'd love to be able to trade my team's crappy players for good players. |

We're looking for a way out with A-Rod...., and Youkilis ain't coming back anytime soon.
And Petco Park is pitcher friendly. Maybe some of those Home Runs can turn into fly balls for Phil Hughes. |
