MLB 2013

The Cards are having a case of not being able to beat mediocre teams.

We also just have a problem with all Texas teams.

3 of 4 from toronto 5-1 so far on the homestand  

50 wins on July 1, 69 all of last year amazing what a year will do, still have questions in the bullpen though, but overall, I am truly amazed at what they have accomplished

we still suck, in case anyone was wondering

struggling, now they have talking around here that the sox should go after michael young to bolster the third base position middlebrooks is in AAA and iglesias could be trade bait, they have Xander bogarts coming up right behind iglesias and he could be better than middlebrooks or iglesias.


iglesias is hitting 417 right now, and would have to go like 0 fer 50 to get his average down to 300

I've heard the Yankees want him too. He grounds into many double plays but he's not too bad otherwise. We don't need him - we could easily just play Kevin Frandsen at 3rd. If we can get anyone for him, all the better. He won't bring anything in free agency.

I also hear that you and Detroit are still looking at Papelbon.

I don't want Papelbon back.

too bad  

well they either make the move for a certified closer, or look to bolster the bullpen in some other way, they are getting done, but they have a long way to go and need a live arm to lessen the load.

Uehura has been pretty good, but he's 38 and you won't be able to get him 3 days in a row very often.

i honestly don't think they will get paps back, it would take alot to get him and they are not in ht eleast bit interested to give up their prospects for a short term fix.

I see them bringing up a guy or two from AAA to patch up the bullpen after the all star break, dela russa might be the next guy they start getting some innings in with in the bullpen.

I can't believe i am saying this, but Lackey is our Ace, our number 1 , if they make the playoffs will be our game 1 starter   

I think he will be in the rotation, but hopefully Lester is back to normal by then.

or Bucholz, But it sure is nice having him steady things for the time being, he has been pretty damn good for over a month now.

Yea, he is definitely one of the Top3 on the team, The TJ surgery looks like it worked!

Tigers finally find a way to win on the road....7-4 against the Indians, Jays, and Rays.....I think the closer situation is settled, with Benoit..but he needs help. Doesn't seem Chris Davis can be stopped this year, so no triple crown for Cabby I think....Martinez is coming around and acting like a real DH  

The Sox hate the west coast, and they are dropping pitchers like a bag full of rice with a hole in it.

Miller gone for the season is really goona hurt.

Apparently we are still on the "cusp" of something and don't know what's going on or what's going to happen  


They took 2 of 3 from the Pirates and Braves and beat the Nat's last night so I guess we're in a hopeful stage, even with losing Ryan Howard for pretty much the remainder of the season.

On the bright side, we get to see Darin Ruf - many think he was the answer for the right handed power bat. Time will tell. But it is exciting watching some of these younger players. Maybe it'll be a good thing.
