[WindowSill]

and these 3...2 of them involving the Mets as was said in the Kris Benson thread

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1849462

a) The Jim Duquette should be shot for trading their 2 top prospects. Kazhmir, whos the top pitching prospect in the league, was traded for Zambrano who has 96 walks...

b) Looks like the Dodgers are atop the teams in the running for Randy Johnson after the trade they made with Florida

c) SD and Texas trade...who cares? I mean really...

THE METS TRADED KAZMIR FOR VICTOR ZAMBRANO. SRY FOR THE CAPS BUT THEY TRADED AWAY THEIR FUTURE FOR A MEDIOCRE PITCHER WHEN THEY ARE STILL 6 GAMES BACK. OMG MAKES NO SENSE


B.o.B.

OMFG....if this is true, MLB should take the team away from the Wilpons. This is truly a very sad day. Not even so much because we are giving away our top three prospects, but more so because we were offered Soriano for Kazmir before the season and we could've had Bletran for something like Kazmir and Huber. Instead we get Victor Zambrano and Kris Benson (who we could've probably signed in the offseason)??? The same people who advised the Wilpons to pass on Vlad, Arod and sheff. over the course of the past few years probably consulted on this. Where do they think they're going with these two???

B.o.B.

[WindowSill]

I said this in the Mets thread and Ill say it again...




the Mets are strongly considering the idea of packaging prized prospect Scott Kazmir


So wait, theyd have to give up Kazhmir AND some other player(s)?! Fuck that! The guy has 96 walks for god sakes. His K to BB ratio is almost 1-1, wtf needs that?! He gotta be one of the most overrated pitchers in the league...and you cant even make a case that he plays for a bad team cuz the DRays have been pretty fuckin good this year plus your team isnt responsible for the fuckin 96 walks that youve allowed this year! And now Pittsburgh want Milledge instead of Peterson?! Fuck them too!


Oh, and by the way, theyre willing to trade these top prospects for Zambrano and Benson but they wouldnt trade em for Soriano or Beltran? If youre so eager to trade away your future why not just go after The Big Unit? He'll give them what they really want and thats to win now and worry about later...later. How can they even consider trading Kazhmir, especially for Zambrano? Shit, werent we starting to "rebuild" this season? WTF happened to that?!

Big ups to amy, aggie, satcam,adf and fluff for the sigs..

hey my man, what it look like

[HBox]

The Red Sox got Doug Mientkiewitz and Orlando Cabrera. I'm so glad they didn't get a pitcher.

http://www.myimgs.com/random/hbox/sig

[AFRO]

can somebody add more to the nomar trade? I'm hearing that the sawx might have landed Matt Clement? I'm hoping to the almighty god this isn't the case. He's Good, very very Good.

[BandofBrothers]

This is what the trade appears to be...

Red Sox get Cabera & Doug Mench...

Cubs get Nomar

Expos get Alex Gonzales

Twins get low level prospects.

B.o.B.

[HBox]

The Expos got burned. And the Twins, since they are in a pennant race, got burned as well.

Here are Mientkiewicz's stellar stats. (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6138)

And here are Orlando Cabrera's. (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5900)

They better be REALLY good defensively.

I know its already a thread but fuckin Yankees...how do they manage to give up a complete bust whos makin 9 million a year in Contreras for a guy that was in the top 3 for the Cy Young last year? Jesus, why not just GIVE the Yanks their world series rings? Or at least skip the rest of the season and let them beat LA for the world series rings...

[WindowSill]

The Dodgers, despite giving up a great set up guy in Mota and All Star catcher Paul LoDuca, did improve their pitching staff adding Brad Penny and significantly improved their offense adding Finley, Choi, and replacing LoDuca with Brent Mayne.

And how about Nomar going from Fenway to Wrigley? Jeez...

Well as a Yankee fan I am glad that the Mets got Zambrano because it gets him out of our division since he usually pitches against the Yankees for some reason

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AAAAAAAH!!!

As a Cubs fan, allow me to kindly thank Boston for their allowing us to face-rape them with this trade.
