I have read Saito's name has come up for trade, he almost went to Texas for Blalock but Hamilton went down.
I could see him or Delcarmen going for a power hitter.
Ortiz is done, what is on a pace to hit 12 hrs?

Sammy Sosa was on steroids, who would have thunk

What a fraud corked bats, steroids, it kind of make you look at all the Dominican ball players?
Manny, A-rod, Sosa, and who knows who else?

Believe in Big Papi, homer and 2 run single in the same inning last night. Hope springs eternal.

Sox took 2 of 3 from Marlins, rain shortened third game precluded a comeback. Oh well, Braves up next and then the Nationals. I'm heading down to DC for vacation next week and plan on seeing the game Wednesday.

I expect it will be a week without sitting in front of a computer. I'll check in after vacation.

The game should have never been played.
The Sox just wanted to sell hot dogs and beer? To make people sit two hours in the rain is BS, no excuse for that they knew the rain was coming.
Mike Lowell was not to happy in the interview on NESN. plus they lost the game

You're right, neither the Sox nor Yankees games should have been played last night. I believe though that the decision to play or not is in the umpire's hands. Not to say that they as representatives of MLB are not just as greedy.

The decision of whether or not to start the game is in the hands of the home team ownership (John Henry, Hank Werner). Once the game is started, continuance of the game or stoppage is up to the umpires. In this case, I feel that Red Sox ownership screwed up and the game should never have been started. Hope that this information helps.

The ownership group could have and should have called the game at about 3 pm Boston time but greed wins every time.

Mike Lowell is headed to the DL for the Red Sox.

The Yankees made a trade for Eric Hinske.

He can play first base, third base, left, and right field. Useful for when Tex wants to DH, A-Rod needs a day off, pinch hitting, Melky/Swisher get cold, or Damons knees get sore. I think it's actually a pretty good trade, we gave up nothing really and Hinske does have a little power in his bat.

Sucks if your a Pirates fan though. Even the players are pissed off at all the moves lol.

Are baseball Umps getting worse every year. Here is a quote taken from Jeter after he was called out while trying to steal 3rd base. There is a great video on yankees.com showing that he was never tagged.

Quote:

"I was just baffled by the explanation," Jeter said. "I was told I was out, because the ball beat me, and he didn't have to tag me. I was unaware they had changed the rules." ~ Derek Jeter

The Blue Jays are starting to take trade offers for Doc Halladay. He has a no trade clause but has agreed to look at possible trades that are in the best interest of the team.
