Great trade for Tampa Bay, nabbing a quality starter in Garza and a reliable setup man in Rincon. Wheeler and Rincon at the back of the bullpen would sure give Tampa fans more assurance

It appears also that the Rays are closing in on a deal with Troy Percival.
Pittsburgh is 8-3? There was a discussion on my work break about this. 2 bottom dweller teams (Jets, Dolphins) have come into Heinz Field and stymied the Steelers offense. Clemens and the Jets won by a score of 19-16, an overtime field goal. Granted I knew Pittsburgh would beat Miami but no one was expecting the lowest scoring game in Monday night football
I see Yankees as the clear favorites to get Johan, considering they are willing to deal Hughes, Cabrera and a top prospect. I heard on weei on my drive home that the Sox have told Minn that Ellsbury is off limits and Buchholz would also be hard to pry away.

Juan Lara, part of the 40 man roster, was in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. It is said to be "life threatening". Just tragic to hear, hope he has a good recovery
psst defense, im sick of seeing these consistant completions... mmkay thanks
Ask and you shall f***ing receive!!! Asante Samuel
EDIT: Matt Light, bad time to get that penalty called against you
Brady is getting restless, Patriots shouldve gone for the 52 yarder. Pats tired defense going back out to try and keep the hot Eagles offense scoreless
Brady
1st half- 19 of 25 (204 yards)
2nd half- 6 of 18 (85 yards)
EDIT: More good news, Colvin and Gay out for the rest of the game. I was cursing at the TV when they were talking about how such a healthy team the Patriots are
At this point, Feely can tell the Patriots defense where exactly he's throwing it... and theyll still have no answer
Haha 6 Defensive backs, result 28-24
I do realize that, I was wary when it was announced the Pats were 24 point favorites over the Eagles. There are still concerns with the running game, my support of Maroney is either way with his early inability to stay on the field
Piss poor 2nd half opening drive including 3 f***ing penalties, now its up to the shaky 1st half secondary to try and hold the lead. The Pats defense has held the Eagles offense scoreless on just 2 drives (1 of those drives was at the end of the 2nd quarter with 4 seconds to go)

The Guardians have signed minor league free agent Rick Bauer (previous teams were Orioles, Rangers)

I hope Steve Buckley of the Herald is just doing a rant, and not actually serious that Pedroia could be part of a Santana package

Crazy, it just so happens the Angels open the season at the Metrodome vs the Twins
