Hirsh, Jason Hirsh, not Schmidt. Hyoi's a senile old hross.

As I posted earlier, the Astro management is terminally stupid. They traded Jason Hirsch and the kid's gonna be an All-star:

Making his Rockies debut, the towering right-hander allowed just one run on six hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out a career-high eight and walked one as the Rockies won 4-3 for their third straight victory. Denver Post 7 April 2007

Still can't top the all time worst trade ever. Giants trade Liriano, Joe Nathan and Boof Bosner to the Twins for Pierzynski. Ouch.

Griff · 04-20-2007, 09:02 AM

At this time, I would like to take back any and all anti-A-Rod cracks I have made. Wow just wow.

Jeb, I can't help but think that my idiots are bigger idiots than your idiots. This is but one example:

"Little Joe" Morgan, Hall of Fame second baseman:

November 1, 1962: Signed by the Houston Colt .45's as an amateur free agent; November 29, 1971: Traded by the Houston Astros with Ed Armbrister, Jack Billingham, Cesar Geronimo, and Denis Menke to the Cincinnati Reds for Lee May, Tommy Helms, and Jimmy Stewart

Painfully stupid.

It's only April 20th...you'll be complaining about him again soon I'm sure.

Jason Hirsh update (Denver Post, 22 April 2007)

With a daunting trip to the Big Apple staring them in the face and an ugly, three-game losing streak sitting heavy on their shoulders, the Rockies needed a special performance Sunday afternoon.
Rookie pitcher Jason Hirsh gave it to them. The rookie right-hander out-Madduxed Greg Maddux for the second time this season as the Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 at Coors Field.
Creatively mixing his fastball, curve and changeup, Hirsh allowed two earned runs on just four hits in seven innings. Hirsh struck out seven and walked two, improving to 2-1 and whittling his ERA to 3.16. "Tip your hat to the other guy," said Maddux, the four-time Cy Young winner.

I fully believe the pink bats were corked.

I don't know, it didn't help the Yankees temporary power shortage.

One thing I like about the Yankees is entertaining nonsense like the Roger episode when things are not going well on the field. Unfortunately, for once the Yanks have about three excellent young arms that should be getting more major league work and Roger is gonna take a spot. Of course, all the old guys could be broken down by the end of next week. *shrug* Boston is unbelievable right now. Will they stay healthy?

BigV · 05-15-2007, 12:51 AM

We went to the Mariners - Yankees game on Saturday. We had the **BEST** seats ever. Ever. Second row behind the Mariners first base dugout. I was closer to the left handed batters than the pitcher was. It was awesome! MrsV scored the company tickets, and it was glorious. Of course, Hargrove is having a little trouble with the bullpen phone and so when our starter began throwing bp for the Yankees, he didn't rescue him until seven freakin runs were across the plate in the inning. Soured me on the game, but the seats were de-luxe. Honestly. Actually padded seats. omg.

I hope you're right about the Brewers.

I hate Brewer fans...

As a fan, I actually favour the Brewers over the cubs, but they way the division looks today is a false reality.
Barring injury, the Cubs will run away with it once they catch up.
I think it'll be sooner than later.

Chewbaccus · 08-01-2007, 03:33 PM

Figured I'd resurrect the thread following the passing of the trade deadline - the NEW Midsummer Classic.

What's your thoughts? Happy with the moves your team made? Pissed? Think they should have stayed pat or made a move at all? Who should get the Xavier Nady Memorial "Poor Bastard" fruit basket? Can the Yankees still see first place in the AL East with the help of a magnifying glass, or are they past even that?

Griff · 08-02-2007, 05:51 AM

I'm glad the Yankees didn't lose Melky Cabrera for a short term bull pen fix. They have a ton of AAA pitching talent and we'll see them now. They are also getting younger, I was hoping they'd move Giambi because the offense is better with the youngsters in. That said, Boston is a lot stronger with Gagne in the pen. I still think the Red Sox are beatable... that's why they play the games. I wonder if Gagne will stay happy as a set-up/ occasional closer.

W.HI.P · 08-02-2007, 09:56 AM

Boston is more than just beatable. They're not much at all.
Gagne was obtained so that Papelbon could eventually become a starter. Okajima is good enough to close in his place, but the red sox's bullpen kinda sucks beyond that. The teams got a couple good bats, but the rest is less than mediocre. The yankees are by far a better team, but still not good enough to win the American league. There are a few teams that are easily superior from the two mentioned above.
The main reason the Yankees are where they are now is their catcher Posada who is the leader of the team when they're up at bat, but even more so when they're pitching. He has surpassed Mauer and Martinez this year in the catcher position on every level.
Plus, the man has the true yankee spirit. Kinda like what Shockey is to the Giants.
Texeira was a huge trade, but i don't believe it will help the braves this year ...the Mets are too good.

All this is nil compared to the Boston/Garnett trade in the NBA.
Can you imagine Pierce and Garnett on the same team? What a defence!

elSicomoro · 08-02-2007, 10:42 AM

Cardinals have won 5 of their last 6, including a 4-game sweep of Milwaukee. I don't want to get too hyped, but they're only 6 out in a very crappy division. We'll see...
