2010-The Trash is Flying and There's Still No Pennant in Chicago

Does anyone know what Doc Halladay's contract situation is w/ the Phils?

[1inStripes]

Agreed to a 3 year $60 mil deal as part of the trade with Toronto to Philly this past winter.

Their time to win is now, as in a few years they will be a team of old position players with bloated contracts.  That said, I can't believe they couldn't find a way to keep Cliff Lee in addition to Doc.   :-/

What ya think of Stephen Strasburg?

Me- I think its friggen great, love to see something like that come in BaseBall.

What kind of impact will he have on the sport?

So, I take it you don't care for him?

well some will like him and some will look forward to his crash

Im still amazed at his first major game and shrugs it all off and throws 14 strikes! NO WALKS!

[Copen1822]

I love how we finally get rid of "Soup" and than he goes and wins his first game with the cards. Great. Frickin pitchers.

What a day for baseball: Edwin Jackson threw a no-no; and The Goon got tossed, so lock-up your Gatorade coolers.

Today while I was at my future son in law's house and he was outside grilling I put a password lock on all of his Cardinal's channels.

   Cards might have a better record but the cubs fans won this one.

Too funny.  ;D

Was the password a name or number.  Im guessing number and it was 1908.

  Hey I just noticed the reply, good one stripes!

So have your stripes always been vertical or have some of them been horizontal?

( back at ya big guy )

[Matt Fly]

I never have much to get excited about since Tom Hicks was associated with the Rangers.  Still not sure we have gotten rid of Hicks either.  lol

    I heard we just got Cliff Lee from Seattle.

  Rangers finally bettered themselves going into the allstar break and we are leading the divison.

  Just making post season would be a boost in morale for Rangers fans.

[fish-fighting-illini]

Man what about that pitcher for Colorado. 15 & 1 Jimenez I think. All this before the all star break no less and for a mediocre team.

I'm still kicking myself in the arse for drafting Beckett two picks ahead of Ubaldo. 

[burleytog]

Kill me now.

[Gone_Phishin]

Kill me now.

The chubbies are only a game behind the Crew...not that that's saying much.

[FishingBuds]

You can lead a horse to the water and yadda yadda yadda ;D

[FishingBuds]

welp Cards I hope it works!?

[Gone_Phishin]

Wow! Lots of deals leading up to the deadline. Texas, SD, and LA got a lot of help. On the flip-side, I can't believe Houston didn't get crap for Oswald and Berkman; they really got hosed.

Unfortunately Melvin and Co. decided to stand pat in Brew Town...pretty freakin' stupid.

[Matt Fly]

Rangers 9.5 games in front of the divison, some good teams on the schedule to see if we can hold that lead.

   Rangers play a few games over 500 and we'll coast into the playoffs with Cliff Lee leading the bull pen.

   I can finally see a pennant in the distance.

Ya'll have to be happy with Vlad's production.

[Matt Fly]

First of the year, Ranger boards didn't like the deal.   After the first couple of weeks, he was bright spot.

   Agreed, Vlad has been great addition.

   WE are finally rid of Tom Hicks.   Rangers might actually make some trades in the next few years that send us further.

    Stadium has been making money, fans love this park.

I know it probably won't happen, but what's the word on TX's attempts to sign Lee after the season is out?

[Matt Fly]

Its been talked about locally every day.   

    The $64,000.00 question, Can the Rangers lock Lee up after the season for a few years?
