They made it sound like the Tribe would package someone, like Sizemore/others with McAllister, to get a legit stick or arm. I doubt the Sux would be giving up any of their current talent (on the roster). Essentially, the Tribe would be....dare I say it, "buyers" in this scenario.

I would love it, despite the fact that we would be giving up a very solid arm from the future rotation. If we get a player (not a rent-a-player) I would be 100% all in on the deal.

Their feeling was that McAllister isn't really in their long term plans as we got him essentially for free (Kearns).

Yeah, I get that. I guess its more than you can never have too much pitching, but at the same time you need to strike when you can. But look how shitty we would be if he wasnt on our team this year. Who EVER thought we would need to go this deep into AAA? Thats my only issue. But you dont expect White to be out for prolonged periods like he is, and Pomeranz should be ready by 2013. So getting a stick is definitely worth it.

This rotation with Tomlin, if he stays consistent, CC, Masterson, White and Pomeranz over the next few years should be pretty filthy.

why is there rumors out there that Dolan is taking away the locker room showers? They could still clean up at home i suppose.

Wish we coulda got a couple in the first for the youngster, but still worked Villanueva.

Snider gives Jays the lead as I type. Shoulda been out at 2nd.

Honestly, not a BAD inning, considering he gave up 2 runs. The pitch to Snider sucked, belt high, and Snider sucks. But other than that I can live with it all.

Well done. Shit didn't go your way. Your D fucked up then you fucked up. Keep your poise, throw a first pitch strike and then get him to fly out harmlessly... lot of guys could have imploded there.

But he would have been out of the inning if AC catches the throw from Santana.

Jesus. Why do we have such bad luck with HBP??? I would hope nothing is broken, since it hit the flap. But he will be sore and out for awhile.

BTW...how in the Hell did the Jays get Charlie Villanueva to pitch? My ESPN ticker says "C. Villanueva."

It skidded across the flap and then the left (from our view, his right) side of his face. Got a little of everything.
