And Shelly makes it 7-2 with a long fly!

Alex Miller has made 3 starts... 3. And he already went out with the same injury that sidelined Adam Miller and derailed his entire career... Remember, Adam Miller was the "next big thing" as well..
You can't bitch about always rebuilding and never going for anything, then bitch when they do do something. I'm glad the Tribe FO finally showed some balls and went for it. If Ubaldo was a FA after this year, then yes, I'd be PISSED.... However, we have him for TWO more years AT LEAST.

Prospects are prospects. Point blank. And the percentage of highly touted pitching prospects actually becoming what they were supposed to, is actually alarmingly low.

Dude. If Ubaldo has stuff no one else has, then why are the Rangers pounding the shit out of it? Why was the guy a paltry 6-9? An ERA of 4 and a half? Alex White didn't have any first game jitters.bases_loaded;852888 wrote:I just think its ****ing stupid to base the trade on tonight.

And on Alex White comments....this is why I didn't like the trade...he proved himself at the major league level and will be back and do well, imo........however.....I have to agree...he ain't doin' it NOW and Ubaldo IS! So I'm ok with it for now.

Numbers don't lie....he has every right to be pissed...BR1986FB;852878 wrote:I did hear on WKNR today that after White was traded he had a major chip on his shoulder and was pissed. Told the Rock's GM O'Dowd that he will "be a better pitcher than what he traded" or something to that effect. Time will tell.
