Wow. Paul Konerko could be benched for most of the season now with Nick Swisher subplanting him at 1st base. An outfield of Quentin, Griffey, and Dye. Also sharing time with Thome at DH. Move def came out of nowhere

Nothing really new in the updates from Sean MacAdams. But he does note the Kansas City Royals have offered Ron Mahay to Boston for Brandon Moss. Thoughts?
Holy s***, the Sox are actually closing in on a Manny trade?.
Mmm Jason Bay as a Red Sox, younger and cheaper with the Green Monster to aim for. And no "Bay moments" to get fans/media/ownership riled up

I heard on my way home from work, WEEI, Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Phillies have the best chances to pull off a trade. Pat Burrell is the top candidate to go Boston's way. he has a no trade clause but has said before he would waive it to go to Boston or New York.
Weaver, hey Weaver you gonna stare down Ortiz again? Haha its like one of the kids from Hanson trying to intimidate the Hulk
Weaver this season vs Boston in 1 game, 9.00 ERA, took place at Fenway. On the road in 10 games, 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA
Matsuzaka this season at home in 9 games, 6-1 with a 3.02 ERA
Yesss now this was a game, sucks that I had to work during it. Lester continues crusing, and that big beautiful man named Big Papi is back!
Good to see Nady didnt have the debut Yankee fans were hoping against Boston
0 for 7, Run, Walk, 2 Ks, 1 GIDP
My problem isnt with the Yankees making trades, its expected that they will be on the phones every trade deadline. My problem is that they seem to be getting the very very best of the opposing GM every time. Rival GMs are flabergasted about the Pirates/Yankees trade that just went down

The Yankees are offering an "average" prospect and absorption of what is owed to Washburn. The deal is currently at a standstill because the Mariners want a better return
This coming from the guy who's boasted about pitchers such as Rasner, Clippard, Igawa, etc.?
Bowden is the best pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization, even Rosenthal said yesterday that his name is quickly rising through the ranks
Ponson's last start vs Boston in 2006, 18.00 ERA (6 ER in 3 innings). This season on the road in 5 games, 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA
Lester this season vs New York in 2 games, 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA. At home in 11 games, 5-1 with a 2.89 ERA
