Checking my fantasy team, Max Scherzer is about to have 15+ strikeouts and is most likely going to wind up with the loss.

Against the Pirates.

Emilio Bonifacio and Brandon McCarthy to the DL.

Man, between my 3 fantasy teams I must have had about 15 different players hit the DL already.

Glad to see Francisco finally stepping it up.

I could totally see Ike Davis getting sent down soon. He looks totally lost for the most part. Wouldn't be averse to giving him a few weeks in the minors and letting Mike Baxter grab the starts against RHP at 1B, he's been killing the ball.

Some news and notes. (from mlbtraderumors.com)

Cubs aquire Koyie Hill from the Reds for Cash.

Blue Jays put Adam Lind on outright waivers. Whoever grabs him gets whatever is left of his 4-year, $18 mil. deal he signed back in '10.

Orlando Hudson signs with the White Sox after being released from the Padres a few days ago.

Pirates aquire Drew Sutton from the Braves for cash.

The interesting piece of the news from the rumor mill is that the Phillies, Indians and D-Backs are keeping tabs on Kevin Youkilis. Nobody is working out at 1B in Philly, the Tribe needs a bat and their corner players ain't that great either. D-Backs are probably just fishing.

DBacks really need help at the corners. All the guys they've tried at either spot have done fuck all this year.

Reds would also be on the list if Youkilis has any input since he wants to play for them before retiring due to them being his favorite team as a child.

I just got an orange t-shirt printed with this



late 1970's era t-shirt transfer so it was a bit expensive for a shirt, but I think its awesome...and it should be here in time enough for me to wear it to Boston.

Yeah, I think that teams are gonna go after Hamels first though. Cole Hamels is on the last year of his contract. And I truly believe some team is gonna give a nice package for a pitcher like that. But, definitely James Shields is gonna get a few good prospects for him.

Lance Berkman might have a torn ACL and is considering retirement.

Kinda sucks, the last of the Killer B's goes down to an injury. And Biggio and Bagwell walked away from the game. Hope he sticks around for one more season.

This sucks. Had such an awesome season last year, even had a MVP-caliber season.

At least he goes out with a World Series ring, unlike Bagwell and Biggio.

Breaking Chuck Knoblauch news:

Quote:

Posted
There's a story going around the interwebs today that former Yankees provocateur Chuck Knoblauch hit on two women while riding the G train the other day.
The story is interesting if not wholly not unique — drunk star-gone-to-seed clumsily tries to spit game — but one detail about it really caught my eye:
And I scoffed and rolled my eyes because BUDDY you are wearing chef pants on the G train and you’re fat and don’t even try to hint to me that you’re a former major league baseball player. ... At this point we were just kind of egging him on so I asked him if he has ever played professional baseball and he said he couldn’t answer that but that he was recently divorced from his wife and 'Are you sisters? Want to come uptown with me? I’ll just have to change first.'"
WHY WAS CHUCK KNOBLAUCH WEARING CHEF'S PANTS?
Is he a chef now?
Where is Chuck Knoblauch's restaurant?
Is it in Greenpoint?
Is Chuck Knoblauch living a second-life as a foodie All-Star hipster chef?
Can he still not throw the ball from second to first?

Long or Girardi would be fired, or Teixeira traded for $.05 on the dollar.

Sox win and are now at .500 again. Let's hope they don't drop back down again like they did when they reached .500 awhile back.

Yankees and Red Sox are tied for last in the division. When was the last time that happened in May?

They're an aging team. They have a roster full of aging veterans. I mean, anytime you have Andruw Jones, Raul Ibañez and Eric Chavez on the bench, alongside a declining ARod and Teixeira, you're gonna have trouble. Also, they sign Pedro Feliciano, he gets hurt, and he's out. They trade for Pineida, he gets hurt, and is out.

Thing is, I doubt the Yankees can even afford to undergo a rebuilding period of even 1 or 2 seasons, so they'll have to figure out what they do.

Stop overpaying for players and invest in their farm system? They've only one one championship since they started "buying everything."

When they had their big championships run they had way more home-grown talent.

No they didn't. Those championship years had a ton of guys through trades and free agency. The whole notion that the Yankees don't have homegrown players is wrong now anyway. They only have a couple big FA guys on their team right now. CC, A-Rod, Tex and Soriano. Almost everyone else is a result of their farm system. Either by call ups or trades.

The biggest problem is obviously that A-Rod and Tex are declining. A-Rod isn't a surprise being that he's 36 now. I guess Tex isn't either considering he's been declining since after 2009 but its still surprising he started declining that early in his career. He is really useless right now.

Another problem is just the way their offense is constructed in the first place. Its happened a lot in the postseason in recent years - the team can't score any runs because most of the guys will just swing for the fences every time. The only guys that can realistically hit near .300 are Cano and Jeter.

Injuries haven't helped at all this year with Pineda and Rivera being out for the year. And Gardner, Robertson, etc...on the DL.

All that said I still think they'll be fine and make the postseason. They're in last place and still only 5.5 games out. I expect the whole AL East to continue beating up on each other and no team really running away with it.

Ffs, is it too much to ask of the Cubs, not to completely fall out of contention, within the first 40 gam es? Seriously what the fuck?

In fact A-rod isn't even a free agent. I think he may have been traded to us for Alfonso Soriano right? I really don't see what their problem is right now, the Yankees seem to be capable. I still am not gonna give up despite it being Mid-May.
