I really hope the Yankees can pull off a victory tonight. With CC on the mound we have a chance. The Yankees better be picking up 2 pitchers at the deadline or at least bring up Betances or Buenuelos or something.

You'll get Zambrano at the deadline. That's a lock.

Big Z is a cool customer. When people say he's a hot head, they just mean because his head is all fat and sweaty.

When Z destroys gatoraid coolers and tries to fight his teammates, it's only because he cares a lot. He's got fire! He's a real gamer.

If the Yankees acquire Zambrano, they should also go get Michael Barrett.

Well I know what game on MLB TV I am watching tonight. Rizzo gets a early call up and is going to be batting 5th or 8th. I gotta say from the little I have seen of Rizzo I have to say I am pretty impressed.

Joba has a torn ligament in his right arm, Tommy John surgery likely.

If The Boss were still alive, Girardi's head would be served to him on a silver platter 10x over, his ass in a sling, and both his legs broken. AND, after the left the office, Steinbrenner would call Lupica over the at the Daily News and say that "Girardi's on the hot seat".
If Hal got any of his father in him, he'd light one hell of a fire under this team's ass. And I mean throw in a tanker truck of gasoline and few propane tanks for good measure. Can't believe the BoSox swept us at home for the 2nd time in a row. |

Hey look, another Braves injury. Only the entire starting outfield is on the disabled list though, no biggie.

Jake Arrieta has 8 wins for the Os and tied for the lead in wins in the AL despite the fact that tonight was only the 2nd time his pitched 7 innings.
Os are 30-31, probably the most bipolar team ever. One week they can't do anything wrong (like this week, sweep the As in 3 and pound the Rays tonight) and the next they can't do anything right (like last week where they got swept by the As). Still its good I suppose to only be 5 GB of the Red Sox and still involved in the closest AL East race at this point in the season since the divisions were created. |

Dillon Gee is quietly having a fantastic year. Could wind up being All Star material, not bad for a guy who started the year in Triple A.
PNC Park is hella nice. Had great seats tonight and great seats for the next two days, getting to see the park from all different perspectives, which is nice. |

...PNC is one beautiful ballpark...hopefully the Pirates will contend someday soon, and the world will be able to see it.

The only way the Pirates will ever contend under current ownership is if there are plane crashes involving the Brewers, Reds, Cardinals, Astros, and Cubs all in the same season.

Their top catching prospect, Tony Sanchez, is also getting closer and could be a very good offensive catcher, especially in tha ball park. I think if they can get an ace (Cole) and a real #2 starter, they could compete in that division. It is not that strong. |

Not to mention, is the NL Central really THAT strong? Outside of the Cardinals, there's really no run away team. The Reds finished under .500 against 5 playoff/potential playoff teams last year. That suggests they played in a weak division and steamrolled lesser teams, but couldn't match up well against good ball clubs. I'm not saying the Pirates are a lock, but it's not hopeless for them. If Cole and Tallion show up and pitch even mediocre (4.00 ERA or under) and their bullpen holds up, they have an outside shot at that division over the next 5 years. |

I think every team gets a representative in the all star game. Kosuke Fukudome could possibly be the Cubs representative. That would make him a two time all star. Lets just think about that for a minute....lol

Realignment is being tossed around in the labor talks. Bouncing one NL team to the AL side making it an even 15 teams on both sides. They're also talking about killing off divisions all together so the top 5 teams from both sides go to the playoffs.
Mind you this is just chatter and you can read it all on espn.com right now. But it makes for some interesting discussion between baseball junkies such as us. Don't ya think? |

The biggest issue is the loss of tradition of the 2 leagues being seen as separate and the brief inter-league games no longer being special. Never mind, just finished reading the article and MLB would still have the leagues act as being seperate and just push more inter-league games instead of a true combination of the leagues and balanced schedule. |
