Aramis Ramirez trade value will never be higher then right now. The Cubs need to trade him. They are going no where fast.

If he waives his NTC, I think the Cubs could get Bumgarner from the Giants, for A Ram, right now.

The Red Sox starting pitching woes continue with Lester hitting the DL. Now Lester, Buchholz, Dice-K, and Rich Hill are all on the shelf, plus Lackey has spent time on the DL and Beckett missed 2 starts with an illness. So the Red Sox rotation now looks like this for the time being.
Beckett Lackey Wakefield Miller Aceves Beckett has been putting up his best career numbers. Lackey's been a complete bust this whole season. When Wakefield has quality starts he's effective, but his starts are completely unpredictable. Miller has been a nice addition, but his development in Detroit and Florida has been poor, so hopefully Curt Young helps him reach his full potential. I think Aceves is better suited as a long reliever since he's been pretty good at bailing out bad starters this year, but he's all they have right now unless they want to work Michael Bowden into the rotation. |

Ace is good for a 6 inning start...I miss him.

There was talk of recalling Felix Doubront from Pawtucket for Sunday's game against the O's and give Ace the start off but I guess Francona decided to use Aceves for the final game before the break.
Miller has been a bit surprising with his good starts considering he was originally meant to fill in an emergency role when Buccholz went down with an injury. |

Reyes to miss 3 weeks with his hamstring strain. Despite being an iron man from 2005-08, it's pretty clear now that he's injury prone. He's got a high impact style of play so leg/hamstring injuries are always possible. Yet many scouts are saying it shouldn't effect his upcoming contract one bit.
A shame that his injuries always seem to happen around the middle of the year, too. He's been an All Star 4 times yet this is now the 3rd time he's needed to miss the game with an injury. |

Josh Hamilton threw a ball into the stands. A fan reached for it, fell 20 feet over the railing, and died.

God damnit, Bud Black.
Padres down a run in the 9th. Brian Wilson comes in, gives up a leadoff single to Chris Denorfia, and instead of having a .240 hitting shortstop bunt him over and give your 3 and 4 hitters, the 3 hitter hitting over .300 with RISP, and the 4 hitter leading the team in HR and RBI, he lets him swing away, and Bartlett grounds into a fielder's choice, only for Headley to come up and ground into a double play to end the game. Fucking brilliant, Black. Fucking. Brilliant. |

My gosh, I hope that's not his kid in the red tshirt and hat...I have a feeling it is, though...
...so heart-breaking...I'm sure he wanted that ball so he could give it to his kid, and he ends up losing his life... ...just horrible. |

Yeah don't really blame the announcers. I doubt they realized how serious it was/how big of a drop it was.

How many stadiums have that little gap in between the padding/wall and the bullpen?
I was surprised at first on how it was possible until ESPN had one of the bullpen players from Oakland describe what the gap was for. |

If the Rockies have Tulo and Gonzalez in the lineup, James, you're in for a treat. Tulo is arguably the best shortstop in the game, and Gonzalez, when on, is a very dynamic player. Good luck to you, man.

Lots of All Star roster changes. Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter have all decided not to play. They have been replaced with Jordan Walden, Kevin Youkilis, and Jhonny Peralta.
On the NL front, Shane Victorino won the Final Vote - but since he's on the DL he won't play. Bochy tabbed Andre Ethier as his replacement, citing that he was the runner up in the Final Vote. Meanwhile Andrew McCutchen stays at home as a huge snub. Then there's the whole issue of the starting pitchers - 5 are slated to start Sunday (Cain, Hamels, Verlander, Shields, Hernandez) so by rule they need to be replaced. Hamels was a player vote selection, so by rule his spot would go to the next highest vote getter, Kevin Correia. Verlander was also a players choice, so his spot would go to CC Sabathia who would then also need to be replaced. For the other NL pitcher spot, I'd say Ian Kennedy gets the nod as a hometown hero selection. 3 AL pitchers are also needed and I honestly dunno who the fuck they'll take. Also, Jose Reyes and Chipper Jones aren't playing but their replacements have yet to be named. |

Finally got to go to a game this year the other night and saw CC Sabathia just baffle the indians hitters. I hope Cabrera replaces Jeter in the ASG as the starter, he deserves it.
