If the Sox end up being buyers and keep Shark, he will get fucked in FA with draft pick compensation attached to him. That would be awesome.

They've come out of the ASB blazing hot. I don't care for it one bit.

It ends tonight. Every loss is like 9/11 for them.

The Red Sox fucking suck.

Damn. I couldn't have been more wrong. So much for the Sox collapsing.

mets are making all kinds of moves and are barely above .500...Cubs gonna do a thing?

This is a pretty good deal for the Brewers.

As first confirmed by Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets have officially acquired star center fielder Carlos Gomez from the Brewers. Wilmer Flores, a 23-year-old infielder, and Zack Wheeler, a 25-year-old starting pitcher, are heading to Milwaukee in return. That package was first suggested by Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

What do you want them to do?  They should make a garbage trade just to make a trade?  I'd love for you to tell me who they should go for.

I would have liked to get Wood from the Braves, but we didn't have anyone like Morse to give up.

[funkster]

Even better:

A torn taint muscle would have been better.

[funkster]

I'm not usually one to wish injuries on players, but fuck him.  I hate his face.

I would be okay with Hamels or Ross, that's about it. But I would also be okay with no moves at all. Don't sacrifice the future for just a shot at a playoff spot.

The way things are playing out, there may be a limited market for Ross and Hamels. What contending teams are left aside from the Cubs that need starting pitching? Giants and Blue Jays? Maybe the Astros?
