Zito got big money and seemed to be injured all the time. He has Pavanoitis I think.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

If I recall he got 126m for 7 years?

He has not done ANYTHING for SF, except give up runs.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They can't, for what they paid for him!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

All-Star pre-game is starting. They just showed Obama in the clubhouses chatting it up with the players.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

AL - 2
NL - 0

Bottom of the 1st.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Pujols.... Geesh.

Suck it up fellas!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

NL takes a 3-2 lead.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Halladay gets lit up.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Burls is pitching:banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Nice inning for Mark.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Phillies sign Pedro and immediately place him on the 15 day DL...sounds like his days with the Mets!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Phillies need pitching, I would not be surprised if they move on Halladay?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Jays are asking for a lot to get Doc. Possible 2-3 mlb players right now with AAA players on top of that. You will have to give up a lot to get him. But good pitching beats good hitting anyday. Any team would love to have him. One of the best pitchers in baseball today.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Jays scouts have been doging the Sox Buchholz, Buchholz has a start Friday night in Toronto.
I don't thing Boston will make a serious effort for him the price is to high?
One thing the Sox will do is drive up the price in case the Yanks want him:banger
JP will not let any club negotiate an extension until after a trade, that can be a deal killer for any team?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Lets put it this way......Kenny Williams(GM for the Sox) has said that they(himself and the Jays) have talked together about getting Doc. To get him we would need to give up 3 mlb players right now. John Danks, Gavin Floyd and A. Ram. And possibly toss in our #1 rated prospect Gordon Beckham. Would it be worth it for one pitcher? Maybe. But down the road I believe Gordon Beckham will be an allstar. John Danks and Floyd are part of our starting rotation. So from the point of a Sox fan, I think it is safe to say that we will not end up with him, but whoever does, will being giving up a LOT to get Doc.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Is anyone trying to watch the Giants game on CSN-BA? It was supposed to start at 4:05 and it's 4:20 and they're still showing the GMag weekly show. WTF!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Halladay isn't a great second half guy either...

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I was reading out of Halladays next 16 starts 11 will be against Red Sox, Yanks and Rays.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees won tonight!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Timmy pitched his ass off tonight, but we could not get any good hits. Tomorrow.

Tim Lincecum is the best pitcher in the MLB right now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Giants need to get out of this slump. Zito pitched well tonight, he did not give up a **** load of runs (just 2), our offense on the other hand. Ugh.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets finally hung on to win one!! WOO HOO!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees tonight. A-Rod hit a HR to put them up 1-0 late in the game. Great pitching duel between CC & Verlander.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Alright, let's hear it...who's gonna get Halladay? Anyone goona bite on Matt Holiday? What's your team need before the deadline?

My Mets need a complete pitching staff overhaul (minus Santanna), some hitters with pop, a few RBI guys, and the fences at Citifield brough in about 10 feet...LOL!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Halladay went 9 today to beat the Sox 3-1.
The guy is a very good pitcher, I listened to JP on a pre game interview yesterday, the guy wants the moon with a fence around it.
I don't think the Sox will pay that kind of price?
I am more concerned about our offense,it's spotty at best we need someone to come off the bench to hit a homer.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Although Halladay is a great pitcher...I personally wouldn't give away the farm for him.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees won again today. Red Sox lost so it is only a 1 game lead now for the Sox.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Well we won against the Pirates today, but still lost the series. :(

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

So the Sox don't want Doc, the Mets don't want Doc - guess that only leaves my Yanks. Anybody want to but a lightly-used stadium. refurbished in the mid-70s? If the Big Dig is finally done, shouldn't be a problem hauling it to Yawkey Way.

:ss

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I am not sure I really want the Yankees to trade for Doc. They will have to dump a lot of young players for him. I say stay within the organization for now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets might be in the market...cause I am just waiting fo news of the FIRE SALE!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yeah, and the Yankees have never done this sort of thing before, so why start now? :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

If Cashman has the control like he say's he does then they will leave Doc alone. The guy is going to be in his declining years if the Yankees get him now. They already have Andy Pettitte to fit that role.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

But we still need somebody to replace Pavano! ;)

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We already have that. DL Wang.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Not a bad first 1/2 inning for Sanchez pitching, considering he has not pitched since his no hitter.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Yankees won 2-1 after a walk off HR by Matsui. That gives them 3 straight win with a final score of 2-1. The Red Sox are losing so so it may be a 1st place tie fr tomorrow morning.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

We got ****ing smoked tonight, it sucked ass.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Darrell...your boys got whooped last night. At least Sanchez looked good in the 6 innings he threw.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Smoltz pitched 5 good ones and then blew it out of the water in the sixth. Very ugly inning for the Sox. Dunno why Francona left him in so long.

Isn't that his calling card?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I keep hearing the Phils are the best match for Halladay, but the Jays sure sound like they're asking for a ton. I heard that Pat Gillick (no longer the GM, but still involved with the Phils organization) is in Toronto scouting him. Jays scouts are (supposedly) all over the Phils teams (MLB, AAA, AA, A) scouting.

Would I love to have him? YES! And the Phillies have several guys who are major league ready that have no place to play (Donald, Marson, Taylor) and have some pretty exciting minor league talent too (Brown), but what pitching would they have to give up to get him? Happ, Drabek, Corasco, Knapp? It's nice to be in the position to talk about it, and even nicer to have the talent other teams want making it possible, but how much is too much for Doc? Man, I don't know...

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

[quote=kelmac07;473507]I can live with it considering his track record of 2 World Series and 1 AL Championship Series that went to game 7.:D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Jesus, the Gigantes are in some weird slump we need to get out of -- it's making me crazy.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I highly doubt the Jays would trade him in the Division...maybe not even the AL.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win, the Red Sox lost, that means the Yankees are now in 1st place 1 game ahead of the Red Sox.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Good news indeed. Gonna be back and forth the whole way out I think, we're in for some good baseball the second half (as long as everyone stays healthy!).

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The AL East will go down to the last day of the season batteling for the Division and/or Wild Card. Either way they will both be in the Postseason and hopefully meet in the ALCS. Baseball needs the Yankees/Red Sox playing each other in the postseason. Those two teams equal big ratings.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Mets need to do some house cleaning?

Damn, as if the Mets didn't already have enough problems :r
