fucking fuck shit

I would like to go back in time to medieval europe just so I can undergo an intense multi-year education in weapons of torture so that I could then pray to return to my own time and make use of said knowledge on Mike Blowers.

MLB tv just crashed, but I was lucky enough to see us get one 'new' fan.

That kid is going to hate his mom later in life.

Well, shoot. I didn't know that.

I just said that because Jeff called us “queens” and a king dying is the only way for an heiress-in this case, Princess Willie-to become a queen.

Yeah I thought that as soon as I hit post...

I’m torn between giving the young guys some playing time, and tanking the rest of the season. Too bad the Nationals or so bad… Hard to compete with that level of crap, even if they swept us at our house…

They would... but in all serioiusness

if you’re about to retire and you’re only 34… that kind of sucks. I’m going to assume Vidro has no other skills, like ninja skills or anything, so he’s going to spend the next 50 years doing nothing. Though, hard to feel bad for a guy getting paid 8 mil per year for putting up a 600 ops as a DH.

Speaking of Jeff, I would like to see him on Scare Tactics. Solid show.

They say they wont trade someone for the sake of trading them...

But im starting to think they should in some cases, particularly Washburn. Washburn off our roster is a plus and any prospect or semi prospect is just gravy, baby.

Orlando Hudson of the Diamondbacks was just carried off the field in the Cubs/DBacks game.

Hit by a pitch on the ankle, went down in a heap. He couldn’t walk off under his own power, couldn’t even stand up. From the looks of it, he may have had his ankle shattered. Likely broken at the very least.

Maybe the D-Backs want to undo that Rauch/Bonifacio trade now? Chris Burke sure as hell ain’t getting it done.

I root for the two worst teams in baseball, non-ironically.

HORRIBLE NEWS

The Yankees are looking to send Kei Igawa to us for Washburn.

According to SI.com’s Jon Heyman, the Yankees are looking to send Kei Igawa to Seattle as part of a deal for Jarrod Washburn.

Washburn is owed around $14 million through 2009, while Igawa is set to make about $13.5 million through 2011. If the Yankees really expect to get rid of Igawa at this point, they’d likely have to throw in an extra prospect or two. Another option would be for Seattle to include Jose Vidro, but he wouldn’t seem to have any value to the Yankees. If it netted them a top prospect, it would make sense for the Mariners to take on Igawa. There’s always the chance he could settle in as an adequate bottom-of-the-rotation guy with the change of scenery, and the team clearly has money to burn.

I thought the lesson of the Bavasi era was to *not* burn money and contract years on shitty players

I remember Baker talking about a “bad player + problem contract for bad player + problem contract” trade rumor he said nobody would be happy about a couple months ago, and this would certainly fit the bill. Maybe this idea has been floating around the clubhouse for a while. Which concerns me….as bad as Washburn is Igawa and his contract are even worse, we’d be stuck with a worse pitcher for longer. Better be a damn good prospect they’re offering with him.
