The MLB 2010 Season Thread

Joe Buck is TERRIBLE as a football commentator as well, I can't stand the tone of his voice and his whole approach to calling the game is BEYOND irritating. He is the classic short guy trying way too hard to project a manly, booming voice and it's like nails on a chalk board every time I hear him. I would rather listen to Dick Vitale fer chrissakes!!

If you look up "nepotism" in the dictionary there will be a picture of Joe.

True. Jack Buck was a legend, what has Joe Buck ever done except ride his daddy's coattails?

I enjoyed many of Jack Buck's broadcasts, I'm not a Cards fan but his '88 and '91 World Series and NFL broadcasts were top notch. I may have dated myself a bit with that last sentence? :D
 
Oh man, I don't think my heart can take much more!!! The Rox come back again for the second night in a row to steal one from the Cardinals. Last night we overcame a 7 run deficit. Tonight we overcame a 5 run deficit to win 8-7. Chris Ianetta hit a walk off home run for the Rockies.

The Yankees were 'on the brink' of acquiring Cliff Lee last night in a deal that would include top catching prospect Jesus Montero, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik wants to move quickly and has been in 'constant contact' with Yankees GM Brian Cashman over the course of the last week, according to Sherman. Other clubs remain involved, but the Yankees are the heavy favorite to acquire the lefty.

Sherman hears that the Mariners would get at least three prospects, including Montero and possibly second baseman David Adams. Lee is supposed to face the Yankees tonight, but that could change. If a trade is completed today, Lee will not face the Mariners tonight, or possibly for the entire weekend series (all Twitter links).

Talks are intensifying between the Yankees and Mariners, Jon Heyman of SI.com confirms. Discussions between the Yankees and Mariners appear serious and it's 'quite possible' that a deal will be completed.

Meanwhile ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports that no deal is in place, and the Mariners could double back to continue discussions with the Rays, Twins, Rangers, Reds and others. The Mariners initially had a ‘huge’ asking price for Lee, but lowered their demands yesterday. As Olney points out, a trade for Lee could mean Javier Vazquez’s days in the Bronx are numbered.

Looks like the deal is almost done to trade Lee to the Yankees.

Next time, don't get rid of Lee. All you Philly fans have yourselfs/the team to blame for the Yankees getting Lee( if they do). :p

My question is where does he fit in the rotation? Pettitte is a good #3 starter so you can't bump him especially with his rock solid performance. He could take AJ's #2 spot and AJ goes to #4. But, he seems to be getting out of his slump now. Vazquez has improved greatly. Do they really want to send Hughes back to the bullpen? If they do that, it sounds like Joba all over again.

One word "Amaro";) The GM "everybody loves to hate" down here in Philly:D
 
After talks between the Seattle Mariners and Yanks fell apart Friday afternoon, the Rangers jumped in and reached agreement on a trade for the left-hander.

The M's sent Lee and reliever Mark Lowe to Texas for first baseman Justin Smoak and minor-leaguers Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke and Matthew Lawson.

The Mariners will also send $2.5 million to the Rangers to subsidize the $4 million still owed to Lee. Texas has financial limitations due to bankruptcy hearings associated with the sale of the team. There has been speculation that the Rangers -- despite leading the AL West -- would not be able to add weapons for the stretch run.

And there still could be trouble. An anonymous official of an MLB team said that the Rangers taking on $1.5 million in salary "is going to be an issue" since the team is currently being run by the league. It is not clear if the bankruptcy court would allow the team to take on that kind of debt.

Lee is 8-3 with a 2.34 ERA this season for the Mariners, his first in Seattle. The Phillies traded him this offseason after acquiring Roy Halladay.

As long as the Wankees and the Reds don't get him, I'm happy. I was hoping the Cardinals would make a move, especially since our starting rotation was a bit iffy, and now it looks like Carp might be injured after taking a line drive off the wrist, but they blew their payroll on Holliday and are saving up for Pujols after next year.
 
its ok will just nabb him in free agency and we wont have to give up anyone just like we did with CC
