You know the game's not going well when...

on a dropped third strike, the throw to first almost goes wild.

haha..

seriously, I dont see how they can get even close to equal value for him. Maybe 40 cents on the dollar. I mean he is a headache but still one of the dominant hitters in this era.

Can't watch the game, but scrolling through the Yahoo! box score...

I just realized exactly how bad Oakland’s offense is… I mean, good Lord… I knew it was bad, but we’re talkin about 2 guys hitting over .275 on the year, 4 guys hitting well below .250 this year with substantial ABs under their belts.

And they rocked Hurley… He must have been awful.

From MLB.com's trade blog

Reds, Yankees looking at Laird

The Rangers activated Gerald Laird off the disabled list on Saturday after he missed a month because of a pulled hamstring muscle. He made his first start on Sunday and continues to draw interest from both the Reds and the Yankees. The Rangers want top young pitching prospects in return and that’s keeping any deal from getting done right now.

Just give us Bailey

by laxtonto on Jul 27, 2008 4:17 PM CDT   0 recs

Bailey for Laird is more than fair

especially with Bailey really struggling right now.

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

done and done

A coupla weeks ago

the Rangers lost a chance to get an easy out at 2nd base because Davis failed to cover for MY/Kins. I’ve noticed that Davis has been very conscientious about backing them up at 2nd since then.

Give us something to easily blame. Any thoughts?
