Oh, wow, I went to sleep before this news came out. Our #3 and #5 prospects (in a very weak farm system). Not a bad price, especially since he has a $7mil option for next season if he doesn't immediately become a tire fire the second he puts on the Olde English D like every other reliever we've went out and signed in the last 4 years.

Ehh, the Tigers have - what? - 1 win in their last 10 in Anaheim? We just don't win there.
Kendrys Morales traded BACK to the Mariners for pitcher Stephen Pryor.  WTF?

i'm hoping seattle isn't done making moves. there's nothing i want to see more than seattle in that one-game playoff series.
Austin Jackson is having an amazing game offensively and defensively.

So did Kole Calhoun, but it was wasted.  I was hoping to never see Richards do what he did last night again, but he started thinking about his press with the 3-1 lead and before he knew it, it was 4-3.  He's got to stay focused and finish the job.

This kept me up last night after the Halo's lost another game in the standings to the A's with Richards on the mound.

Do I really like my chances in one game playoff against Hernandez, Tanaka or Price?
Yeah, that was a good game, but man am I dragging today with that ending at 1:30a on this coast.

If Tigers can win one more and come away with a split in Anaheim, it's practically a goshdarn watershed moment at this point considering the way Anaheim has beaten them like a washed-up stripped the last few years.
Cards pickup AJ Pierzynski.

Giants trade for Jake Peavy.
I think the Dodgers just traded Seager for Lester.

Not yet.
matt kemp being traded and having his contract subsidized by the dodgers seem inevitable, but to whom?

I thought it was finished for Lester over the weekend,  but it was a false alarm.

1/3rd IP, 4 ER

I swear the Tigers bullpen has to be inhaling whippets and glue during the games or there's a gas leak that magically follows them on the road.

Lester scratched from his start today. 
Crossing fingers he will be a loan to Baltimore.  Although I know it's unlikely.
