<font color=goldenrod>Mets trade Marlon Byrd and John Buck to the Pirates for 19 year old Single A 2B Dilson Herrera. Sounds like a decent prospect. Played in the Futures Game.</font>

Vito, do you own the Mr. Met pillow pet?

Sweet deal for the Pirates. Love Marlon Byrd.

Indifferent on John Buck.

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Fonsie's starting to make me believe we got a shot at the 2nd wild card spot. I know ALOT of things need to happen with other teams in order to pull this off. But I think the Yankees can do this.

I agree. I have a feeling that each of the teams involved (Bal, TB, Cle, KC, Oak) could falter and give us a decent chance. Won't believe it til I see it, but it feels possible

Pretty good read

What do you guys think?

Justin Morneau to Pirates for Alex Presley. Wow.

Did not see that coming.

Super-fuckin-Nova!

Great move by PBurgh, that's a fantastic move by them

2nd WC spot looks like it may be up for grabs in the AL. NYY getting hot at the right time.

If the Pirates win the division and got a round or 2 in the playoffs, I think Neal Huntington saved his job for another year or 2.

Wonder how screech feels about that trade...

I liked Michael Young :(

And he speaks! Naw, I agree, I like Mike Young and I don't like seeing him with the Dodgers.

<font color=goldenrod>Ike Davis strained oblique, likely done for the year. Assuming that's the end, he'll finish with a line of .205/9/33. 101 K's in only 317 AB. He only just got over the Mendoza line for the first time all season like 2 weeks ago.

I had such high hopes for Ike. But with him eligible for his 2nd year of arbitration, I'd say there's a 50/50 shot of him getting non-tendered. Depends on if the Mets feel they can make a play for Abreu or find an acceptable alternative for around the same price Ike will be making (roughly $3.5 million).

What's kinda fucked is that $3.5 million would be an INCREASE for Ike after such a shitty year. Technically, the Mets can offer him the exact same salary as this year, or even 80% of this year's salary. But it never happens. Regardless of what the rules say, everybody gets an increase in arbitration whether they deserve it or not.</font>

The Astros first team officially eliminated from Division and Wildcard. Miami has a magic number of 2 to be the second.

Can't wait for the Yankees to close the season against the 'Stros.

<font color=goldenrod>Daisuke Matsuzaka is not a good pitcher.</font>

Been pretty dreadful even in the minors the past couple of years.

I remember when he was the national treasure and could do no wrong.

Theo's boy.

Keith showed his face again. Perfect timing too.

LOL, no fucking way did I turn to the Detroit game and see the score reading 20-4, Boston...did I?

Dunno man I wasn't in the room with you.

Of course the Yankees will make a run at the Wildcard and get my hopes up.

Yankees-Pirates WS matchup in which the 7th inning stretch is a street fight between Yogi Berra and Bill Mazeroski.

Strange...I could've sworn you were.

Come on BoSoxxxxx this game is yugeeee

Hahaha Soriano
