EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2005 I can't say I like the Gerut/DuBois trade for the Cubs. DuBois can not field at all, but he is a legitimate power threat. Gerut is just a league average corner outfielder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2005 Like I said, I hope this isn't the big trade everyone was waiting for the Cubs to make. It doesn't make much sense, either, since they've brought up Murton, who has been doing a nice job in left. Dubois never got a chance with the Cubs, so I guess I'd rather see him with a team where he'll get one. Hopefully Gerut's just trade bait for another team, although realistically, Dubois was probably better trade bait, so Hendry could just be a dumbass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2005 Twins have wasted 5 quality starts from the starters since the break. 2-3,2-3, 5-4(only 1 er run)1-2, 2-3. The offense is absolutley atrocious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest StylesMark Report post Posted July 19, 2005 I finally broke down and ordered the MLB Extra Innings package from Comcast. All it took: 1 day of the Yankees in first place in July. Weak I am. The Yankees may acquire Byrnes. I'm unsure of how to feel about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 Chien-Ming Wang is NOT the type of player the Yankees should be withholding in trade talks. He's 25, had good but not outstanding minor league stats, and he's injury prone. If the Yankees can deal him for a useful player like Randy Winn, they should bite.

Guest StylesMark Report post Posted July 20, 2005 The last thing the Yankees need to be doing, is trading YOUNG picthers. Wang was the ost consistant guy in the rotation, granted, it was only for a few weeks. I saw something about it on ESPN.com. Hopefully Cano stays. He surprises me with his bat all the time, but needs some serious fielding work. I'm sure in time, he'll be real good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fishyswa Report post Posted July 20, 2005 Moose is looking alright tonight, laboring a bit but getting it done so far. Giambi forgot he's slow and potentially cost us a run in the 2nd, but he still got a hit so it's forgiven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 Delgado and Cabrera just hit absolute bombs on back to back pitches. Then poor Mike Lowell hits a rocket up the middle that Craig Counsell makes a diving stab at and turns a double play. Lowell must be on the verge of suicide right about now...especially with the thought of playing in Pittsburgh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
