Adam Wainwright with one of the dumbest quotes in a while. It sucks because he's such a good pitcher.

Question: if he were having a Cliff Lee 2012 season - very good performances, very good peripherals but a miserable W-L record, would he be saying the same thing?

Man, those Cardinals are good--40-21 as it is! And with Pittsburgh and Cincy leading the wild card, there's increasing talk the Nationals are going to be sellers, along with the Dodgers(likely Andre Ethier due to Yasiel Puig's emergence) and Padres.

Blue Jays are not expected to be major sellers--despite what the idiot media in Boston and New York say. Besides, things may change within a month anyway.

[digiblader]

Agreed. If anyone goes, it'll be expendable bullpen arms(Oliver), or bench players(Izturis, Davis), and maybe Josh Johnson, depending on the rotation's health and his value.

 

All the Jays need is a retool--noting more.

Agree 100%

 

They don't need to blow this team up

As disappointed as we all are by the team's under-performance, most of us thought this would be a contending team even if we didn't agree with what the team gave up in the trades for what was acquired. Also, if the team were to blow it all up after half a season of going 'all in', how much would this hurt the team's image in terms of attracting FA's which is already a problem?

 

I would think the answer is pretty obvious. I'd be ok with a retool/tweaking. I wouldn't mind JJ and a couple of relievers being traded for close to MLB prospects, preferably a middle IF prospect.

Trying to stream the Marlins/Mets game, what's happening? Is it over? Just says not available on VIPBox.

[theblujay]

Nope, it's still on. But the Marlins scored, 2-1 entering bottom of the 20th.

 

Hech with the RBI single

[Abomination]

Tough loss for Marcum if it holds. 1 run in 8 innings out of relief.

[kcjaysfan]

Wow, both Slowey and Marcum pitched more innings in that game than their respective starters.

@nickpiecoro: Brandon McCarthy suffered a seizure on Monday, but says he’s fine & hopes it doesn’t push back his shoulder rehab: http://t.co/qB3ucxs3hv

Did she take the whole thing in? If she did, she's a real gamer.

[Abomination]

Apparently 20 innings last night wasn't enough for the Mets and Marlins

I would LOVE to trade for him. Amazing buy low candidate. Him and Ackley.

[bzapple]

We already have an Adam Lind.

[GD]

He gets on base a fair amount and has a good deal of power. He's stash-able in AAA and probably wouldn't cost much.

[dineke]

Ike Davis has been s***. Maybe they'll bring him in to be our token David Cooper.

[G-Snarls]

I'd like to read this. Anyone willing to cut and paste?

Boston designated Ciriaco for assignment. Aside from power, he could be quite an interesting bench player assuming there's no clubhouse issues with him.

I assume he's like Maicer-lite. Wouldn't be a bad pick up but we already have him essentially.

[GD]

Every crappy player in the world could be described as "Maicer-lite" lol. Ciriaco has some bat-to-ball ability, but has a terrible approach and isn't a good defender. Not better than our current options as you say.

 

Can he field well? That'd be the only way I'd pick him up.

[digiblader]

Nope. He's below average defensively everywhere--he's a AAAA player all the way.. and Iglesias is the better option in Boston.

[Abomination]

Cobb getting rocked. 5-0 Boston and he hasn't recorded an out yet.

[BlueJayWay]

5-0 Boston top first, none out yet.

What the heck is wrong with Cobb? First Moore, now this...

[havok24]

Damn Cobb getting shelled.
