I don't want to see Chris Carpenter on the bump... And the only positive I see to offering Kershaw is that both sides wouldn't have to worry about any exposure to October.... And I don't want any part of Heaney - any MLB pitcher that has to remind himself he belongs in the bigs, shouldn't be there...

I miss Jeff Mathis...

I just plunked down $540 for a Shohei Ohtani 2017 Bowman Chrome Refractor RC BGS 9.5 (sub grades: 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 10)... Which is the most I've ever paid for a single card - and I've been collecting since the mid-80's. I've got cards worth more than this one - some I've purchased individually (Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Trout RC auto, etc - but bought them for less years ago) and many others I've pulled from packs or traded for them... So what's the most you've paid for a card...? Figure this beats bitching about the team and management for a few minutes :)...

So... I gave Arte a "neither approve nor disapprove" - He has proven he'll spend his money (not every org can say that - and that alone almost had me give him a "moderately approve"). I think he's also given fans an improved experience at the ball park... I'm not a big fan of his "meddling" in the baseball operations (see: Josh Hamilton)... I gave Perry a "moderately approve" - While you can't mistake activity for achievement - he has really come up with some creative finds to fix some of the present problems. I LOVE what he did in the draft (all pitching). And I liked the Heaney trade... and I LOVE that we cut ties with Pujols... I gave Maddon a "moderately approve" - Yeah, I find his shtick a little grating and goofy... but I really appreciate his change of direction where Shohei is concerned: "we're going to let him have a say in his workload" - that's a huge reason, in my mind, that we're getting to witness this incredible season for the ages... The hard limit from the prior regime would never let this fly... I also kind of think that with all of the turnover in the lineup this year, it allows an environment for Maddon to really experiment and show his "mad scientist" side - I'd like to think we'll see less of that with a solid and stable lineup on the field...

wait... Anthony who...?!?!?!

Trade deadline is tomorrow! ...err... never mind...

I think this is a fallacy... Our SP only "improves" when we play sub-500 teams... We get hammered by playoff-bound clubs... This team epitomizes a .500 team stuck in no-mans-land...

...but good news: Roger Lodge is still on the radio...

Glass Rendon...

Any time you can work “flummoxed” and his nickname “The Slegend” into an article, even AW can smile...

Price = hard pass

Isn't that kinda like saying: "At least my prom date has prettier lipstick than your pig"...?

We don't want Price either... sat out last year - horrible under pressure... no thanks...

Dogs are going to regret that contract - wow!!

Was never a fan of the guy (but I see the talent)... just want to know now: how much? and will they let him pitch every 4 days?!?!?!?
