They're still on the hook for most of that contract. I wonder if they can give it to him in pennies? Or better yet, McDonald's gift certificates? |

My favorite story from yesterday (via Big League Stew):
Nationals 11, Astros 10 (11 inn. — completion of suspended game) The first game passed through different dimensions. After a rain delay of 65 days and 1,400 miles, the Nationals took all of 7 minutes to beat the Astros in game one. Joel Hanrahan(notes) picked up the victory, even though he's on the Pirates now. Nyjer Morgan(notes) scored the winning run, even though he wasn't on the Nats when the game started, in D.C., on May 5. |

I wonder if a guy in a similar situation has ever recorded a win against his own team?

I don't know, but Joel Youngblood got a hit in two different games for two different teams on the same day in the early 80s. He got traded after a day game and was able to make it to his new team's night game.

I remember an odd fact from a baseball card or something about Tony Castillo on the Jays... I think he got a win or save against his former team when a postponed game was resumed. |

I didn't see a mention of another 'oddity' that occurred this week involving Washington: Alan Embree picked up a victory for Colorado without throwing a pitch.
Washington Nationals vs. Colorado Rockies - Recap - July 07, 2009 - ESPN Embree came on in relief with two outs in the 8th inning, then picked off Austin Kearns before throwing a pitch. Rockies score in the bottom of the 8th to allow Embree to pick up the victory. Last edited by TurnerONU22 : 07-10-2009 at 12:03 PM. |

Charlie Manual chooses Jayson Werth over Sandoval.
Glad you have your entire OF in the All-Star game now.

Neither deserve it over Sandoval, but especially Victorino.

To the victors goes the spoils, right?
Who the hell cares about the All-Star Game anyway? I'm a huge baseball fan, and I'm not sure I'll even be watching.

Charlie Manuel is a frigging ass. Is he going to select Carlos Ruiz next? Maybe Brad Lidge?
Ryan Howard on the team is a fucking joke as is; the most overrrated player in baseball (he ranks 12th amongst NL 1b in wOBA!). Perhaps he'd like to just send out the Phillies? |

I do wonder how many people complaining have actually looked at Jayson Werth's stats. As a Phillie fan I don't think Howard should be going (I understand it's his home town, etc.) but the other 24 Phillies are Kosher

I know Manuel didn't like Church, but it still makes no sense. The team was too left-handed when everyone was healthy...not so much now. That's why I'm hoping a mid-range prospect was thrown in, otherwise Minaya is batshit insane.

I've defended Omar up until this point. He's made made mistakes, but has done a decent job.
Now, I hope he's fired at the end of the year and they bring in someone smart enough to know that there isn't a player on the Mets 40 man roster that's worth trading for Francoeur. I'm seriously sitting here dreading any of my friends signing onto MSN tonight. |

Well, let's not make Church into something he's not (I know asking you to cut the hyperbole is impossible, but whatever). This trade is shit because Francoeur is shit, not because Church is a stud. |

I wonder how many people have looked at Pablo Sandoval's stats. The Panda was fucking robbed. Robbed, I say! On another note, I can't believe the Braves were able to trade Francoeur for anyone remotely resembling a major leaguer. I also find it hilarious that the Royals, who were reportedly interested in Francoeur a while back, traded for someone who manages to get on base less than he does in Yuniesky Betancourt.

Yeah, regardless of Werth's value, Sandoval has been amazing this season.

I'm not at all convinced that the 2009 model of Church fits that description by much more than the narrowest of margins That aside though, since someone wondered about any other pieces to the deal, the AJC says the Braves will send "some cash" to the Mets but no other players are involved.

lol at the Mets trade. Of course, I've just jinxed Amaro into doing something crazier or stupider (like signing Pedro).
