Melky Cabrara you knob head
Damn...Thats messed up....Helluva time for it to happen too...so 50 games means he will or wont be on the postseason roster? Not sure how that works since I would think he is technically on the 40 man roster even on suspension..least I hope..Don't want my second least favorite team the Dodgers getting in the playoffs!

another perfect game thrown - Felix Hernandez - :congrats: 3 this year
Seattle commentator Dave Sims tweeted his score card after the game - 0,0,0,0,0 etc lol
Even more incredible when you realize that 13% of all perfect games have been thrown THIS YEAR!!! That is over a 135 year period.
Those that may not realize how long basball has been around: A few weeks after Custer was cut down at the Little Big Horn the very first no hitter was pitched in St. Louis!

So the Red Sox have off loaded Beckett (never liked him), Gonzalez & Crawford (along with Punto) for Loney, 2 prospects & 2 to be named.
Saving $270m in wages
Beckett i rarely see have anything apart from a good game and often looked fed up and heted being there.
Gonzalez probably struggled to live up to the hype that surronded him on arrival.
Crawford - did anyone notice when he played?
Even so its a lot of money for the Dodgers to take on, obviously looking for quick rewards.
One thing puzzles me about this - i thought the trade deadline was on July 31?, so how did this trade happen?.
Also a side note - thank god the little league is coming to a close - i might be able to see some MLB over here now.

And yes, the little league games get on my last nerve...Geez! I mean good for them but do we have to be bombarded with it?

To adress the issue of how did this happen Ian...even though the non waiver deadline ended July 31, the waiver deadline ends August 31 but players have to be unclaimed by all teams which it is shocking to me some team or teams did not do this just to stop somebody else from making this trade...I mean once these guys were out there, clearly only a small number of teams could have been interested in them so if general managers put two and two together, they should have known who and what was up.....Also they had to be on the roster as of August 31 to be elibible for the post season.
As to the trade itself, its a huge gamble for the Dodgers and if it works, they look like they more or less robbed the Red Sox(at least till we see how these prospects they got shake out down the road) but it also puts pressure on the guys traded to handle their business...They may be so full of themselves they dont perform as expected...Oh, and did I mention how much I still hate the Dodgers going back to my youth in the 70s?

Another sweep for us...magic number is 24 and best record in baseball! Oh and the last Reds team to have 80 wins in August was the 76 team who swept the Yankees in the World Series! Did I mention this has been the month without our best player? I almost feel sorry for everyone else as he comes back Sept. 1st!

we still need votto back! assuming we make the playoffs, i'm still worried about how certain guys will do there. this would be all hitters not named votto and phillips. hopefully our pitching holds up too.

From a gambling perspective, baseball has been absolutely brutal the last couple of months. Like poker, I can easily move on when I play a hand poorly or make a poor wager. But the frustration kicks in when I occasionally put myself in good situations to win, such as only needing 1 more run in 4 innings, yet there is no more scoring.

Cubs helped us out today and beat the Cards in extras. A loss is a loss but this one had to suck for St. Louis as they were ahead by 2 in the bottom of the 9th with 2 strikes and 2 outs on the Cubs and still couldnt close the door. Now to win tonight and make it official. 2 NL Central titles in 3 years!.

Congrats to the Reds & Nationals for making the play-offs (fingers crossed Giants are next).
