TWiB 7/31 - 8/6

Recommended Posts

Nice job by Hamels and the Phils tonight.

 

Here's a question: If the Phillies somehow make the playoffs as the WC and the Yankees don't at least win the AL pennant, does Bobby Abreu qualify for the Ewing Theory?

Oh my God.

 

ESPN just announced that Friday Aug. 4th, the Newark Bears minor league team will have:

 

Britney Spears Baby Safety Night

 

It will give tips on baby safety in the home and in the car. If you bring a baby or dress up like a baby you get in free. And if you bring a baby toy.

there is no fucking way manram gets the RI crown. Dude is like 34 already, no happening

 

Maybe not, but there's an outside chance. It depends on how much Manny wants to play. He's averaged ~124 rbi over the last 10 seasons...he'd need about 6 more seasons to get the record...

Hamels is done, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H.....pretty good outing, he's been back on track lately and this was nice to see.

 

You're tough. I'd at least give him a good outing for that one!

Huge ANDRUW JONES RUMOR

 

 

 

If this is in the wrong place... feel free to move it...

 

According to Buster Onley on the Dan Patrick Show... Andruw Jones has been claimed off waivers by the LA Angels of Anahiem. 24hrs to work out the deal...

 

Onley said he was "claimed by A team off waivers" but then said "I think it is the Angels

 

How does everyone think this will affect us.

I'd say with 90% certainty that it won't. The teams won't work out a deal and Jones will remain a Brave.

Maybe. Like I said, it is just a rumor for now.

Wouldn't it be a bad move for the Braves to deal Andruw Jones? Not only would it be a terrible PR move, but they're not THAT many games back from the Wildcard. Even if they aren't able to negotiate a long-term deal after his current one expires, he's not making that much money relative to what he offers to the Braves' offense this year. If they do get rid of him, they're gutting about 70% of their offense. With that said, I hope for the Astros' sake they do trade him to the Angels. We've still got quite a few games with the Braves before the season's over.

My god, the Pirates are going to hand Zambrano his first loss in ages. The Ronny Cedeno at second experiment is not off to a good start, either.

 

By the way, I think Izturis is Spanish for "groundout."

That rumor is a load of garbage. Another team in the NL didn't claim Jones?

 

Someone's never read their waiver rules. For Olney to report that the Angels were the team that made the claim, is asinine, as that means that a team lower in the standings couldn't have placed one, and a team equal in the standings to the Angels in the NL couldn't have claimed him. With all these teams in the NL Wildcard race, that's very unlikely.

It's great to see Nady having such a good day (three doubles already, and it's only the fifth inning). I really like the guy and was none too happy to see him leave the Mets. With any luck, he'll be able to cash in a little bit next year and start for a team that doesn't suck.

It's quite possible. Remember that any team that claims Jones is potentially responsible for his contract.

I guess. But, there's teams out there with money. And I think Boston would have scooped him up immediately.

So they turned down Crisp/Hansen for someone who would actually have to clear waivers? Kind of a stupid move.

Orlando Hernandez has balked twice in this inning, one of which brough the runner in from third. What's most frustrating about it is that so far he's having a darn good start otherwise.

You know, I'm glad the Phils don't have Bobby Abreu's awful defense anymore. I mean, no other outfielder would allow Orlando Hernandez to triple, right? Especially one that hustles and runs into walls. A lot of good THAT did.

Guest Felonies!

Way to stay on top of the fads, Tampa Bay Devil Rays! Maybe in 2012 you can have Mr. Pibb & Red Vines Night, too.
