Yeah, gotta give credit where its due. Definitely thought Bautista was a fluke, purposely nominated him early in fantasy leagues too. Oops.

The Os are gonna get a 4 game sweep of the White Sox tonight. They're that bad!

I wouldnt be surprised if Ozzie Guillen gets the boot shortly.

I'm surprised Ozzie Guillen has had such a long leash in Chicago.

Yeah, he helped take them back to the World Series and win the whole thing in 2005, but his act has gotten old, and the team hasn't exactly performed that great, to compensate for keeping him.

Vlad Guerrerro has 110 ABs without a walk so far, the record since 1900 is 148.

The way he swings at everything, short of him getting plunked or intentionally walked I could see him go the whole year without one.

Please don't let Ryan Dempster come out in the sixth. We have a shot to win this game. He's leading off the next inning. Perfect time to pinch hit for him and not let him meltdown in the sixth like he always does

Carlos Pena doesn't do much hitting, but when he does, it's usually a Homer...and he looks damn good doing it.

Quade's mancrush with Dempster is amazing. I noticed Zambrano is pitching tomorrow, so I guess Dempster's the Ace of the staff.

Giants interested in making a deal with the Mets for Jose Reyes due to the team struggling with injuries and had to move their starting shortstop to 3B for the time being.

I wonder how much that'd cost. Do you think it might be able to be done with a Brandon Belt/Bumgarner package? I am sure Jose Reyes will not come cheap for them.

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball believes the Los Angeles Dodgers do not have enough money to make their end of May payroll, a person familiar with the team's finances told The Associated Press.

The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because MLB's investigation of the team's finances under owner Frank McCourt is ongoing. The Los Angeles Times first reported that the Dodgers lacked the cash to make their May 31 payroll.

The person said that if the Dodgers don't have the money, MLB would step in and make payroll.

"The fact that we had obligations coming due in 2011 was no surprise to us and no surprise to Major League Baseball," Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said in a statement to the AP.

McCourt has publicly complained baseball commissioner Bud Selig has refused to approve a 17-year contract with Fox that could be worth more than US$3 billion, a deal that would include a front-loaded payment of about $300 million.

"We developed a plan which eventually became the Fox transaction. We've been working on that plan, in different versions, for the last six months," McCourt said. "That is a transaction that is now completely negotiated, ready to be signed, and ready to be closed. It's the series of delays in allowing us to close this transaction that has created the problem here. Otherwise, there would be no problem here. My recent investment into the club was necessitated by the delay."

The commissioner's office effectively took control of the team on April 20, and former Texas Rangers president Tom Schieffer was appointed the team's monitor six days later by Selig. Schieffer must approve any transaction over $5,000.

Based on its opening-day payroll of $103.8 million, the Dodgers' payroll for its major league roster in the second half of May will be approximately $8.25 million. The figure includes 16 days salary, but not any signing bonus payments that happen to fall due.

McCourt, involved in a contentious divorce, took a $30 million loan from Fox, the team's television partner, in the weeks leading up to Selig's decision to appoint a monitor. Baseball was concerned that McCourt was removing assets from the franchise, once considered one of the premier teams in the sport.

I thought the Dodgers were like the West Coast Yankees...loaded with cash.

It probably will depend on if Reyes will consider a new deal with the Giants (currently on last year of the deal) and the financial situation for the Mets (will be cutting team payroll by a lot).

If Reyes decides to stay with the Giants longer than the season or at least gives it as an option, the Mets could easily pick up a few quality prospects and cash. I doubt the Giants give up anyone on the main roster due to depth and injury problems the team has right now.
