Non-Pirates Baseball Thread

[Lt. Dish]

Does Sergio Romo use Jheri Curl or Dippity Do for his beard?

Inquiring minds want to know.

OK, no one really wants to know.

[offsides]

SF in five.

[Lt. Dish]

I love panda.

[Idoit40fans]

I do not love panda, but go San Fran.

Theriot? What happened to scutaro? Or are you trying to say that their back-ups are better than the bucs, too?

[shafnutz05]

Cabrera did something....too little too late, sadly (not really)

[ulf]

is it okay to say these guys aren't very good singers?

[blackjack68]

Congrats Giants. You earned it. Dominating series.

[shafnutz05]

Giants are an awesome team. Good for them

[FreeCandy44]

I wonder if Barry Bonds gets mad that this team has won 2 world series since he left/retired?

I remember being in my dorm room actively rooting for the Angels (Ralley Monkey on top of the tv) because of Bonds. I love that they've won twice without him.

+1

A lot of my friends out here are big Giants fan, so I'm happy for them. I'm doubly happy that they won their titles just a few years after Bonds retired.

Second time that night a Romo clinched the game for the Giants.

Less than a year after committing nearly $200 million to free agents in an effort to generate buzz for their publicly-funded stadium, the Miami Marlins have blown up their roster in stunning fashion.

They are shipping $106 million shortstop Jose Reyes, staff ace Josh Johnson and $58 million starter Mark Buehrle to the Toronto Blue Jays in a blockbuster trade involving at least seven players, an official from each team familiar with the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

The persons spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been finalized.

Including an earlier trade of Heath Bell, the Marlins will have shed $186 million in future salaries this offseason

Wow, that's a game changer on many levels. Blue Jays could now be the favorite in the East. I guess they figure with Boston rebuilding and the Yankees getting very old very fast, this is their chance to strike fast. And does any team switch gears faster than the Marlins?

Funniest thing about that is hearing the name Kei Igawa makes me want to rage like Jerome.

The Marlins might win less

I lived in NYC and Jerome is a complete legend.....He brings it for the Yankees each and every call.
I still listen occasionally, hoping that he will be on.

"After the trade, the club has roughly $16 million on the books for 2013, not including arbitration-eligible players."

Stanton and LoMo are still there. They'll be better than the Astros were last year. I was speaking more towards the AL East will beat the living crap out of them.
