Exclamation MLB Season Thread
This is kind of belated, but just an ongoing chat about games that take place.

I'll start, Nomar's grand slam against the Twins was key

Speaking of the Mariners, how do you feel now Eddie?

"Its not about the money...I am just leaving the team that developed me for nine years and whose fans adopted me because even though they don't have a lot of money, they won't pay me as much."

Eddie, you put your foot in your mouth there. You could have stayed with the team that loved you and been in contention again, but you decided to say it wasn't about the money while leaving for more money. Eddie was a solid closer, but he was never a great pitcher, every one of his saves included like two hits. We would have loved to keep him, but I hope he's enjoying the hole he's dug for himself.

I hope the Twins sign a bunch of guys to extensions during the season just to make fun of Eddie.

He was better than everyone in our bullpen now besides Nathan, but by having 40 saves he was in the same group as Gagne, Wagner, Rivera, Foulke, etc, who were actually great pictures.

I'll say the same thing for two other plays Dave. David Ortiz and Chauncey Billups.

Both were good players when they were in Minnesota, and had they stayed they never would have been great. Put Ortiz in Fenway, he can totally take advantage of their walls and lineup, and now he is an MVP candidate. He wasn't that good in Minnesota, and I have no shame that we didn't keep him.

The same thing with Chauncey Billups, he was good in Minnesota, but he wasn't great. We would have liked to keep him, but he saw better opportunities in the East and went there, and did amazing things. I personally don't think he would have been as good if he stayed with Minnesota, because he fits perfectly in with the Pistons. It worked out better for both teams, because Detroit wouldn't have won without him, and we wouldn't have done anything without Sam Cassell, even if we still did have Chauncey.

If you want to dispute me and prove that Eddie Guardado actually was a great pitcher, and worth every cent he is paid, than do it. If you saw him pitch everynight for two years and give up at least one hit per save, you would know that his stats don't reflect his ability. He pitches straight fastballs, and it works for the most part, and he would have been a good asset on our team, but he decided that he was better than he is and demanded more money, and Seattle picked it up. We're still leading the division and beating the Red Sox right now, how are the Diamondbacks doing?

I'm not sure if I like Fenway or hate it. Its got the messed up walls and stuff, which can be cool cause theres a lot of hits and a lot of weird stuff happens, but at the same time it seems like Boston uses it as a huge home field advantage, cause they know where to hit it and everything. I get freaked out everytime theres a fly to right, because a normal fly has like a 95% chance of bring gone in right field. Lets just hope the Twins can win this

That Twins/Red Sox series was overall pretty good. We had a grand slam, some great pitching, good hitting, and great defense. Exciting to say the least, too bad 90% of our games are against White Sox, Royals, Indians, Tigers :-/

Houston gets:
Carlos Beltran CF

Oakland gets:
Octavio Dotel CP
$$$

Kansas City gets:
Mike Teahen 3B
Mike Wood RP
John Buck C

Even though Beltran is obviouslt the big name I think Oakland raped everybody here. They'd been the hottest team in baseball 2 weeks ago and got cold last week but it was due to their bullpen. Rhodes was not reliable as the closer but he is nasty as the set-up man.

The real loser in this deal is Craig Biggio. He has to change positions for the 4th time.

Jeez, Ponson 3-10, Ouch. Great pickup for Oakland BTW. They really needed a closer.

D-Rays just smacked the Jays 19-13 too. You know, I feel sorry for the Rays, throw them in the Central and they are a 2ND place team.

Where will Biggio move to? Left field?

He probably won't mind, he seems to be the kind of player to change positions for the good of the team.

I figured he'd be moving over since they got Hidalgo out of the outfield.

It seems like the Astro's are losing relievers pretty hard, first Billy Wagner now Dotel, who do they have still? It this going to come back to bite them or do they have a solid enough pen?

They still have some work to do, because I think as of right now both the Cubs and Cardinals are better teams.

God, I just turned on FSN and was like "Whoa, I thought the Twins were only playing three at Fenway, I didn't know they had another day game." Then after watching for a little, I was like, whoa, this is going into extra innings too, and Balfour is pitching hot again! But then Bert said something that set it off, and I am pissed that I just got punk'd.

Woo, Giants once again owning in the West, as weak as the division is.

HOWEVER, the Giants are beating the A's 5-0 in the second inning, courtesy of back to back homers against none other than Barry Zito.

BTW, there was that little thing about the sweep against LA - the first 4 game sweep of the Dodgers since 1935 (or thereabouts).

I'm so stoked for the rest of this season

are the Astros going with David Weathers as their closer now?

If these are 3 top ass prospects (the ones KC got) they should make out real well. Randa is a billion years old.

Freddy Garcia to the White Sox for Miguel Olivo.

If the Twins don't make a move, I think this will work out better than Alomar and Everett did last year for the White Sox. They are already putting up a lot of runs, even with Magglio out. Olivo was good, but it won't kill them. The Twins either need to get themselves another starting pitcher, setup man, or power hitter, otherwise this could be the death of us.
