Selig and the rules committee are fucking clueless if they don't add replay challenges after this.

The tag was certainly not a good one, but he was out without any doubt in my mind. Most umps would probably call that shit out just on principal.

That call was horrible. I expect an apology from that umpire today, like Jim Joyce...'cause it wasn't just a regular Pirates game we have seen the past 18 years, where they're so far out of the race, it doesn't matter if they win or lose...this bad call actually cost them a game in the standings.

Jays trade Zach Stewart and Jason Frasor to White Sox for Mark Teahen and Edwin Jackson.
Apparently the Jays are gonna flip Jackson, Scrabble and Dotel to St. Louis for Colby Rasmus. Is this is true, AA is a bigger genius than I imagined. |

St. Louis Dispatch confirms it. Jays send Dotel, Jackson and Rzepczynski to the Cardinals for Colby Rasmus.
I'm so happy, I'm gonna jerk off on my computer monitor. |

Honestly, the Jays got fleeced by Kenny Williams. Sox just shed about 17 million worth of junk and picked up a nice bullpen arm and a top 50 prospect in all of baseball. All because the Jays had a hard on for a overated outfielder with a bad attitude. Enjoy.

Zack Stewart is a 25 year old stuck in AA with control problems, a 4.20 ERA and the Jays have TONS of pitching prospects (Drabek, Alvarez, McGuire, Hutchison, Beede, Norris, Synngaard, Sanchez)
Yunel Escobar also had a "bad Attitude" when he came here and is now one of the best shortstops in baseball. Oh, Jason Frasor is only good in non pressure situations. There's a reason why he hasn't closed games despite Rauch and Francisco sucking. The only thing that hurts is losing Rzepczynski. |

Schafer - DL
McCann - DL Chipper - Still hurt, just after getting off the DL Prado - Just off the DL, 0-9 last night Uggla - Almost hitting over .200! Heyward - Awful sophomore season; still rolling out to second base with impressive consistency Alex Gonzalez - Only around for his defense (even with an error last night!) The Braves might be done. At least we have the best backup catcher in baseball? |

Can't believe the Cardinals could only get a half year rental in Jackson, Rzepczynski, Dotel, and Corey Patterson for Rasmus.
Jays GM continues to stockpile talent at every opportunity. Dude's a machine, seems like the Jays are involved in every name that comes up. |

giants are about to trade Zach Wheeler, one of there top prospects for Beltran. Oddly its being floated as if the Mets are hoping for another team to up the offer for Beltran.

The Cards are a bunch of idiots. Trading a potential 5 tool star in Rasmus for rentals and no impending replacement is so stupid. A blatant case of LaRussa getting in the way of what's best for the team.
In the meantime, the Jays just got that much better. Great move by their front office. |

Everything I've read says the Jays have the best farm system in the majors right now.

ESPN's Keith Law ranked them as having the #4 best farm system in the game. Dealing Rolen and Halladay was a shot in the arm for the organization.

I honestly love the kid. Has all he tools you want in a CF. He's gonna tear shit up in Toronto, and being an anti LaRussa guy, I'm glad he GTFO out St. Louis.
Like Gerty said, the Jays got a "bad attitude" in Yunel Escobar, and now he's an all star caliber player that the Jays can pencil in the lineup 2.5 years. Rasmus is going to thrive there. |

VERY pitching heavy in terms of their prospects, not so much batting wise aside from Gose, Sierra, Lawrie and D'Arnaud. AA has done wonders, and it looks like he's gonna be able to sign Norris and Beede his two high school pitching draft picks that looked to be unsignable. Very pleased.

With Rasmus the Jays line up looks impressive
SS Escobar LF Thames 3B Bautista 1B Lind CF Rasmus DH E5 RF Snider C Arencibia 2B Hill. Can't wait till Lawrie comes up. |

Way to go, bullpen. You just had to end Seattle's losing streak, didn't you?
In other news, Cubs are trying to unload Carlos Zambrano to some sucker. Hendry called the Yankees to see if we were interested. "No thanks." |

Fuck yes. All of the "experts" said there was no way the Mets get an A-prospect for Beltran, but Alderson stayed firm and wound up with one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. Genius.

Cubs traded Kosuke to Cleveland for two prospects. Don't have names yet, but one is a upper prospect and the other is a lower.

This is a great trade for the Cubs. Abreu might be a potential all star.
