Yeah Mulder had been the only one pitching for a while and the A's were still in it. Now Zito and Harden are pitching better and some guy named Tim Hudson is coming back. Uh oh.

Man that's some rotation! Them and the Cards right now, two best rotations going arguably.
And goddamnit, JD Drew, Juan Pierre and Jimmy Rollins just went a combined 1 for 15, that'll do my fantasy teams wonders ![]() |

Mulder is the FK'N man. I remember he became my favorite pitcher in the league when I got him on my fantasy team in his 2nd season and I had no idea who he was. Then he had an awesome season and I won the league with a lot of credit to him.
If he wins the CY Young, that will make all the "Big 3" on the A's Cy Young winners |

They're all good enough to be aces, it's like the Braves in the 90's with Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine

Eric Valent of the Mets hit for the cycle today (technically yesterday at this point), damn I don't think anyone expected him to do that well.

I just heard on FOX, the Yanks traded Contreras to the White Sox for Estaban Loaiza. Also, Steve Finley got traded to the Dodger's.

![]() "Defense, Defense, Defense" its all I am hearing now, the Sox are one of the top teams in runs scored, but they I dunno I think that is misleading. They don't get the runs when they really matter, I always notice lopsided scores like 8-1, 7-2, etc but then the loses are like 4-2 after the Sox don't score a run with the bases loaded ![]() Going to miss the offense BIG TIME, I don't like this trade at all, I don't care about a Gold Glove first basemen. He has 5 HR and 25 RBI. I bet if Dave McCarty (known for his defense at 1st) played as much as Mientkiewicz has played he would be putting up those numbers too, and McCarty is already on the team. |

LOL good job Trot Nixon. Lose the season because you want to jump on a Yankee spot starter. Wow he showed them, what a team player.
![]() Stima, this is a good trade for the Sox. The Yankees don't have any .300 hitters and it's well-known how shit their starting 5 is. So why are they 8 games up? Jeter, Rodriguez, Lofton, Matsui, Posada are all excellent defenders. It's hard to say anything good about any Red Sox player's D other than Damon. And Mientkiewicz is just in a slump, he's not a power hitter or RBI guy but the Sox already have plenty of those. He has hit .300 with 65+ RBI's a few times in the past. I think what both the Red Sox and Yankees don't realize is that 9 40 HR hitters isn't going to win you championships. Look at the Marlins last year, they had 1 superstar and 8 above average players. Consistent pitching, excellent defense and timely hitting. And they beat the shit out of the Yankees. |

Are starting five is shit? I don't know how you can call them shit when we have the best record in the league. Maybe "aren't that great" But, Shit?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOAIZA. I feel terrible about Nomar though. He was like Jeter to the Yanks. Sucks. |

Trot Nixon has been hurt all year anyways, I dunno what role the schuff played in him going to the DL.
Probably is a good trade, but I am just sad to see Nomar going. Its rough to see your favorite player leave your favorite team while he is still in the prime of his career. I will always be a Nomar fan, aslong as he doesn't land on the Yanks. |

I've always been a huge Nomar fan and i'm gonna miss him being on the Sox
![]() And as for the Yanks rotation, well Kevin Brown pitched a gem on his return the other night, El Duque has been very good apart from that early exit the other night, although that wasn't from being knocked around. With Loaiza added in, Vazquez having a good year and Mussina on the way back, that's 5 all-star pitchers and a 20 game winner in Jon Lieber if we need him, i'm confident |

Getting Nomar into the line-up can't do Maddux any harm tonight, i hope he gets the win he deserves it so much!
I think we get Cards/Giants on channel 5 tonight, and Jason Schmidt is starting so no complaints from me! |

GO METS!!!!
great trade, 3 of your best prospects for 2 pitchers looking at 30 in their walk year. Funny how Kazmir was so untouchable, even for Soriano, A-Rod, Zito ect, but they trade him for a pitcher who couldnt find the strike zone for the Big Show. Awesome Duquette, and Wilpont |

God fucking dammit the Yanks need another decent middle reliever, we can't rely on Quantrill and Gordon every goddamn game, Heredia has been very hit and miss this year and Sturtze just isn't doing the job as he has proven thus far against the A's
