Non-Pirates Baseball Thread

Sources are saying Oswalt is going to waive his NTC to go to Philly.

He'll get traded in the offseason

only if they spend all their good prospects bringing in a different pitcher, then they can flip Oswalt for crappy ones. That's apparently how they like to deal.

So my friends and I drove up to Cleveland to hopefully see A-Rod's 600th (he didn't) but the trip was still so worth it. So this dude shows up in our section with his gf wearing a Miami Heat lebron james jersey. At first ppl just heckle him like the whole bleachers stood up and chanted a-hole. Then he left and came back with a beer. Some guy slaps it out of his hand and it goes all over him. Then ppl just started like throwing stuff at him and security had to escort him and his gf out. People are just harassing him and his gf just attacks one guy and the cops just stood there. Looked like she got socked in the face. So like the entire bleachers emptied to watch this guy get escorted out and his gf was crying and stuff. Ppl were just chanting F Lebron and a-hole the whole way out. I felt bad for the gf but the dude was asking for it.

I think it's pretty awesome the guy wore the jersey there, F Cleveland.

He should've known he'd get this kind of reaction though.

In strict baseball terms, and without taking the last 18 years into consideration, the Astros are *a lot* worse off than the Pirates.

Nice, I wish that kid would've been closer to the dude's gf getting hit in the face at the end of pt 2.

I remember going to a pirates/giants game like 6/7 years ago and some little kid had on a bonds jersey-t. Some retards were heckling th little kid, that was annoying, those people need to let it go. But i approve of this heckling, wearing that jersey was intentionally antagonistic.

I dont condone doing that stuff to anyone, but when you're being obviously intentionally antagonistic like that, you are asking for it. He knew what he was doing....somewhat I guess. If he would have shown up in his Cavs Lebron jersey because maybe he is still a fan of his, he may have just got the verbal bashing and thats it. But he was doing that on purpose.

Coincedentally, 2 years ago my friends and I were at a Philly's game after the Pens first Finals trip when they beat Philly in the ECF. We all 7 intentionally wore our Penguin shirts. I think people were just too confused to heckel us. Everyone was staring as we walked in and we heard a few people were like "What the f*** is this, I didnt know we were at a f***** Penguins game."

What's wrong with booing a supporter of Satan?

[beerman]

Oswalt plans to OK the deal.

Astros will send $11M to the Phillies who won't exercise Oswalt's option for 2012 but will add an extra mil or so to the buyout. JA Happ and Anthony Gose going to Houston along with another prospect.

Yeah, that guy was just givin it to them and just harassing them and she just started like slapping him and pushing him. I didn't see it but I guess she got hit in the face. We ran to the exit to see them get escorted out. Those were a lot of pissed off people.

[MWB]

So why did they guy get escorted out? If you wear a shirt like that, yeah, you should expect go get heckled. You shouldn't expect to get your beer slapped out of your hand and have to leave the game though.

Showalter to coach the O's

Why did it take them so long to announce this?

[MWB]

White Sox trade Daniel Hudson to the D'backs for Edwin Jackson. Presumably this will lead to another deal, possibly Jackson for Dunn. If that's the case, why wouldn't the Nats just trade Dunn for Hudson? I would think that would be a better option for them. And if the Sox aren't dealing Jackson for something else, why did they just trade one of their good young pitchers for him?

[LeopardLetang]

I hate that I drafted Pablo Sandoval and Adam Lind with the first two picks in one of my keeper leagues.

i'm having a pretty miserable year as well and it also involved sandoval and lind. check out my non-keeper draft:



1. texeira.......(batted .230 through june)
2. tulo...........(DL for 5+ weeks)
3. sandoval.....(just awful)
4. zobrist.......(spike in steals his only value)
5. lind............(just awful)
6. d. lee.........(batted .230 through july 9th)
7. m. ramirez...(DL for 5+ weeks)
8. t hanson.....(within my expected production...sticks out since i took him over jimenez)
9. beckham.....(hahaha)

[KG]

Berkman to the Yanks. Great move...pure money transaction as the Yankees are paying the remainder of his contract this year. But Berkman fits the Yankees well...Repeat...

[MWB]

Yanks also get Kearns for depth. I like the Berkman move as he's a patient hitter who should fit in well with that lineup. Would've preferred Dunn, but the cost probably would have been too steep and he doesn't want to DH. I guess the Nats have been saying all along that they wanted Edwin Jackson, but are now backing off that, which really leaved the White Sox in no-man's land.

Man, that is tough. If I had drafted that group I would have been expecting to finish near or at the top.

[MWB]

Qualls to the Rays. The asking price for relievers must still be ridiculously high.

Ozzie Guillen TICKED

Ozzie Guillen is right.

[Troy Loney]

I didn't know the astros got brett wallace straight up for the outfield prospect in the oswalt deal. Happ and wallace is a solid return for oswalt i believe.

[pensfan1989]

Anyone else see the Carlos Santana injury last night? Looked brutal.

[Rocco]

It's funny to watch the Red Sox pitchers throw at people, then get outraged when the opponent retaliates. They're the Ravens of baseball.
