Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 they sound as if they are blowing it up mid season. wonder how much of the traded salary boston will have to eat if the trade goes through. There is one more I would show the door for that heinous crew. Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky speaks Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It appears to be a done deal. In Ben we trust???? Blockbuster complete This guy called it on Thursday... Directing the dream of Adrian Gonzalez to the Dodgers By Steve Dilbeck http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgersnow/la-sp-dn-adrian-gonzalez-dodgers-trade-20120823,0,5739510.story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClQcUyhoxTg Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Apparently the Dodgers and Red Sox are awaiting on Selig's approval. The prospects in this deal may have to be PTBL's in the offseason because they'd have to clear waivers right now, which would be unlikely. In the meantime the Dodgers will have to do a little roster shuffling to accommodate their new additions. It's being reported that Boston will only have to send $12M to L.A. I would have figured it would have been about four times that much, but I guess this is a different kind of bailout program. Now if the Phillies can luck out and find a sucker for Ryan Howard's remaing four years/$100M I'd be super happy. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If Wash doens't win manager of the year this year, they should stop giving out the award. I wouldn't really care if they did stop giving that award out, but so long as they are going to, I think Buck Showalter and Robin Ventura have pretty good cases to be made for them over Wash.

I don't wish to see the Panda in a speedo, but great play! That was a more acrobatic, yet far less important, version of the Bob Boone-Pete Rose catch in the 1980 World Series.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 It would surely be poetic justice is the Dodgers continue to crap the bed after they tried to buy a championship.That game today where they almost blew a 10-1 lead had me riveted and amused.

Jules, I was wondering if you had a change of opinion of this year's performance of Dunn? I think the Sox are definitely missing his bat, esp against the Tigers (for the 2nd series).

parisisstale Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Adam Dunn (oblique) hopes to return Saturday.Dunn is out of the lineup for the eighth straight game Friday, but says that this is the best he has felt since the injury. Dayan Viciedo will DH again on Friday while Alejandro De Aza plays left field and Dewayne Wise starts in center. Sep 14 - 4:56 PM Link to post Share on other sites

Escobar got himself run out of Atlanta for attitude, has had his fellow Jays' infielders complaining all season about him being a ball hog (failing to feed the 2B the ball to turn DP's so he can do it himself, running in front of them to receive grounders, and reaching over them to catch easy pop-ups, which is dangerous and little league), and now this. At what point does one stop being a knucklehead? Link to post Share on other sites
