The AL MVP race is a toss-up right now (Gonzalez, Ellsbury, Bautista and Granderson all have a chance), so a strong finish by A-Gone may tip the balance in his favor.

Wait, wait...Adrian Gonzalez had 7 Home Runs in the 4-game series against the Rangers?!

...BEASTLY.

Evil Vito 08-26-2011 11:32 AM

Prince Fielder is gonna be looking for $200 million this offseason. Who can afford to dole out that much and still have position flexibility? Cubs?

I'm sure the Yankees will be rumored, but with Tex locked up at 1B for 5 years and A-Rod, who surely has to DH at some point, for 6...I dunno about that.

Supreme Olajuwon 08-26-2011 12:47 PM

The Angels might if they don't trust Morales' ankle.

RP 08-26-2011 01:18 PM

Who knows with the Cubs. Apparently they don't even want to trade Pena and even though he was only signed for this year, they owe him 5 mill next year. Makes no sense. I would give him away for old Arabu jerseys and bats.

Aguakate 08-26-2011 02:01 PM

The Cubs should forget about Fielder and see if they can land Sabathia, should he opt out.

Innovator 08-26-2011 04:03 PM

In more important news, Jeter and Minka Kelly have split.

ClockShot 08-26-2011 05:27 PM

So, the wedding is off?

Innovator 08-26-2011 05:32 PM

If you made a poll for all New Yorkers, with who would you rather?, it would be a tough call for some of them.

Os have jumped all over Burnett in the 2nd..crazy stuff.

You don't know AJ Burnett, crazy is him going 7 innings 1 run 4 hits.

Droford 08-26-2011 08:58 PM

Just realized JJ hardy had been 0-29 vs the Yankees this year before he hit the 2 Run Homer.

Droford 08-26-2011 09:03 PM

Os and Yankees couldnt come to an agreement on what happens when the 2 games tomorrow are canceled. Os wanted a doubleheader on Sunday and Monday or 1 game sunday 2 games Monday plus the Yankees coming to Baltimore on the Yankees lone off day in September which the Os are also off. Yankees wanted a doubleheader today but that didnt happen.

ClockShot 08-26-2011 09:04 PM

You hear that ringing, Girardi? That's the clue phone, maybe you should pick it up.

She goes in the trophy case. Time for a new flavor. Jeeets!

Evil Vito 08-26-2011 10:53 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Chris Capuano with a 2-hit, 13-strikeout shutout. Can't say I saw that one coming.</font>

Another game which ends in nope hope for Wakefield getting to his 200th win. 6th game in a row he hasn't gotten a win (3 losses, 3 no-decisions).

Albers has been absolutely horrible lately and it seems he gets the worst when its a Wakefield game. He sucked soo bad that Francona used Darnell McDonald (OF on the bench) to pitch the 9th because Albers wasn't effective and he needs to rest the bullpen for the emergency doubleheader tomorrow.

Emperor Smeat 08-27-2011 05:33 PM

Not sure why MLB doesn't just call off Game 1 of the double-header between As vs Red Sox (9-2 Red Sox in 8th) because it is very unlikely Game 2 would even get finished and Game 1 already had 2 rain delays.

The teams and not MLB made today a double-header as a safety issue due to the hurricane occurring on Sunday and as a way to save the remaining off-days left for rest.

ClockShot 08-27-2011 08:51 PM

Verlander is the fastest to 20 wins since Schilling did it back in 2002.

He's pretty much a lock to win Cy Young this season.

Aguakate 08-28-2011 01:38 AM

So beautiful seeing Jim Thome Homer as a Cleveland Indian again...

The Fraze 08-28-2011 12:35 PM

Have a date with the SF Giants this afternoon.

Can't believe it's been 10 years since he last played with the Tribe.

Supreme Olajuwon 08-29-2011 01:08 AM

Ridiculously retarded throw by Rick Ankiel:

Fuck

Evil Vito 08-29-2011 09:54 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, Ankiel's got one of the best OF arms in baseball. Incredible.</font>

Gertner 08-29-2011 01:56 PM

Jays strike out 18 times yesterday. Well done boys, well done.

RP 08-29-2011 02:36 PM

That Ankiel throw was great, but Mike Stantons throw out of Jose Reyes was the best. I mean, he threw it across his body with momentum going the other way. Reyes wasn't even close. One of the best I've ever seen.

I bet Joe West must be happy with this news.

RP 08-31-2011 08:21 PM

Josh Beckett being this slow, is unacceptable.

RP 08-31-2011 08:25 PM

This game is going five hours easily
