Any A's fans see that "Ghost Ride the Volvo" video? I only think of that when I hear Dan Johnson.

Man I wish the Tigers had traded Boesch when his magical two month run happened.

The Diamondbacks would get the No. 7 pick in the 2011 draft by stonewalling Loux, and unless something drastic changes, they don’t plan on offering him a contract by the Aug. 16 deadline.

someone in the front office has a brain :)
and Jerry Dipoto looks like Sean Garrity from Rescue Me

****, DiPoto has aged well. And Loux may have been the stupidest pick this year

Listen, if you allow a PH HR to Jason Bartlett, someone needs to be fired.

So a pop-up just hit a catwalk, bounces in play, rays are losing in the 9th.

What were the Rays thinking when they signed a 30 year lease on that dump?

Jose Guillen got DFA from the Royals. He could be a nice pick up for a contender.

I'd feel bad for the Red Sox but after what the Mets went through last year with injuries it's hard for me to feel bad for another team.
Well, that and because it's easy to hate a team that has Papelbon on it.

White Sox called up Chris Sale. First 2010 draftee to make it to the majors.

Sale is not all that great, and next year you'll get a far better player than you could have had anyway.

I know, hopefully everything works out and we get a good signable prospect with the 7th pick next year

Sale is decent but yeah he's not a huge difference maker most likely.

James McDonald had a very nice first outing as a Pirate.

That's like an NFL team banking on a QB being available in the coming year's draft

Not really. The Dodgers pretty much took a guy they knew they had no chance of signing this year, and will pick up a selection one pick lower next year with a much better draft and probably a less ugly divorce situation.
