Because if they are buyers for the right piece...Ubaldo or Pence, we get them for 2.5 years. I dont want a rent-a-player (ludwick, etc). But Id love a proven player for a run the next few years. Preferrably Pence.

BR made a little joke about Ms Winehouse and one of his creepers started arguing with him about the problems of addiction and other shenanigans...it was quite a nice read.

Acta should send CC down for the minor league BS he pulled. You don't throw at someone's head.

And this team really sucks! It looks like they've mailed it in.

Francis is throwing 86 MPH fastballs and 71 MPH change ups. The thing to do is to stay back and hit the ball up the middle. But instead, they want to hit every pitch out of the park.

Well sure, but one 8-run home run and this is a brand new ballgame.

It wasn't even a joke. I was quoting a comment from Twisted Sister's Dee Snider about how her death wasn't a "tragedy" but a "life choice" and the bitch goes into mopey meltdown mode. Must have struck a (personal) nerve or something.

Was down at the yard watching the Hens play and heckling Brandon Inge tonight. Another game I am glad I missed. This season is over. Tonight was the nail in the coffee. Turn off the lights and turn this play into parkin lot. Its over.

If they pull it off, I will applaud the effort. But whoever we give up should have been packaged for Pence. That filled a MUCH bigger need. I do like Ubaldo, but I dont wanna part with Pomeranz. White I can live with, but not Pomeranz. I think he will be better than Ubaldo, sooner than later.

I would hope we add something other than a pitcher...what do the Rockies have to offer in the form of a catcher or outfielder...

Why indeed. That was my whole position when all the trad talks started. This team wasn't good enough then and isn't now. It doesn't matter how many games out of first they are or even if they are in first. They don''t have the talent to be going after one or two players to put them over the top.

Ubaldo can't give up negative runs. He's just going to come here, pitch solid and be a tough luck loser like everyone else. We can't score. Pitching, save for last night, has been the strong suit of late.

Pitching has been the strength of this team all year.

Masterson is on the hill tonight....which means he loses because of lack of run support and bad defense.

The over/under for unearned runs is 2. I'm betting the over....in a 3-2 loss.

Tribe onle 6.5 games behind the Royals on their march of destiny back to the basement. With 2 more schit performances, this team will be well within range at only 4.5 games "behind" the Royals.

SMH this is exactly why I didn't want them to make a trade. They are done, so what the hell is the point in throwing away prospects?
