Is Albert Pujols serious with the bases loaded? Gotta be some type of joke right? 7 for 9 with 5 HRs?

Red Sox sign Paul Byrd to a minor league deal.

Have the Jays ever gone South. Man. I can't even watch them anymore.

honestly, it's not that they go south every year, it's just that they have been in the worst position in all of baseball for so long. The Jays are good, but it's tough to hang on when you have the two best clubs in baseball in the same division. And then you throw in the Rays on top on that

if the Jays were in any other division, they would honestly be fighting for the divison lead or at least the wild card.
it sucks, I really like the jays, they are my favorite team behind the yanks. I grew up watching them with my Grandpa ![]() |

If they were in the West, the Jays could definitely make it more competitive than it's been the past few years.

Unrelated, but does it bug anyone else that the AL West only has four teams in it? And that the NL Central has six teams?
It's just something that has always bugged me. |

Nah what else could they do? You can't have 5 in each division because then you'd have 15 in each league and then every night someone wouldn't have an opponent. Gotta have even numbers.

Burnett vs. Beckett tomorrow should be awesome. Even if they both go 8, the game will take 4 hours |

I know I've brought it up before, but Adam Dunn is seriously having an MVP caliber season for the Nationals. 3rd in HR, 3rd in RBIs, 4th in OPS, and he's hitting a very respectable .281
And yet he'll still get less votes than Ryan Howard. |

Ryan Howard is probably the most overrated player in the NL.

FINALLY!
However, watching Joba's pitching last night was like listening to nails on a chalkboard. It was that painful. I hope Eiland and Posada stuck a boot up his ass after the game. |

Rumor has it the Mets might be willing to deal away Delgado and Wagner through waivers by the August 31 postseason roster deadline, effectively meaning they are throwing in the towel on 2009.
May as well. Reyes keeps having set-backs and with the Mets so far out of it there is really no point in bringing him back this year and risking him getting even more injured, ditto with Beltran. Trading Delgado now gives Murphy the 1B job through the rest of the season to see how he can do, and Wagner clearly was not gonna have his $10 million option exercised. |

Yanks aquire Chad Gaudin from the Padres for a player to be named later.
Always great to add that extra arm. Hope it doesn't cost us much. |

Twins aquire Carl Pavano from the Indians.
![]() However, A's release Jason Giambi. Not surprised, it's been floating around the rumor mill for a while now. Will be surprised if somebody picks him up for the remainder of the season. But I think this is the end of the road. |

Alex Rios has been claimed off of waivers by an unknown team.
This is commonplace, and typically the team will just pull the player back...but then again, this means a team is willing to pay Rios' enormous salary. Wonder if the Jays will ship him out. |

Trade deadline is over. But you can still pull off DFA trades until the end of this month.
1 day after the Yankees destroy him, Red Sox DFA John Smoltz. Probably the end for him as well. |

Not surprised by that move, was worth the risk picking up Smoltz but it just didn't work.

I seem to remember a couple years ago the Red Sox acquired Mike Stanton in the second to last day of the season for a couple of minor leaguers...a move nobody could quite figure out as he was ineligible for the postseason and only under contract through the rest of that year. |

Sox needed a run in that top half though, they are running out of options with pitching here. Yanks still got a few arms in the pen - and the top of the order coming up |

Was hoping the winning hit wouldn't have been either Jeter or A-Rod...but ah well. Damn good game.
Now to flip over to the Mets to see if K-Rod blows a save to the lowly Padres. |
