I hope this doesn't turn into the same deal as last year

Even though the end result was incredible, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed at the trade deadline.

I wasn't a big fan of making a major move

but now I’m starting to think that a little mix up could be beneficial to the club.

uh oh this could suck

According to Sean McAdam at the Boston Herald, the Red Sox have been “very aggressive” in their pursuit of Adrian Gonzalez from the Padres, but their offers have been “rebuffed.”

I am doubtful we get anything.

I suspect the Sox will get something.

I suspect we will all be angry.

Would Lee or Halladay be better

Pros for each are:
Lee-Can be the #1 starter, Probably easier to trade for, costs less & easier to retain if the FO wanted him remain
Halladay-Best Pitcher in baseball, already knows the division, would make the team extremely dominant in pitching, and the compensation picks are always there(since I doubt he’ll resign) and the window to win is still wide open for a few more years.

Lee

For all the reasons in my morning post. Halladay is the better pitcher, Lee is the better fit.

Good start so far for Sonny

4 innings 2 hits 1 BB 3 K.

and Tommy scaring/exciting us on twitter.

it happens

any scorekeeping experts out there want to explain this one.

Top 6 Justin Ruggiano pops out sharply to SS Argenis Diaz (how does one pop out sharply)

by Dbullsfan on Jul 23, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Jake Mcgee pulled after 1 inning? Didn't he like 3 last time?

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Alex Cobb did come in though (isn't he a normal starter)

so my guess is it was a planned short start.

Cobb 6 innings 1 run 4 h 0 bb 4 K

Yeah, but why would they decrease his workload?

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Plus, the rumors his start had been scratched

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

I think that was Tommy, he read an incorrect box score.

as far as the decrease in workload, who knows maybe they are going to move him to the pen (although if that was the case I would imagine they would use him in a later inning situation so he could get used to having to warm-up during the game)

by Dbullsfan on Jul 23, 2009 9:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

The box score apparently said Mejias started

But Nick realized the error and took down the post.
