AA's peptic ulcer growing larger by the minute

That's just it My wife and I going out in a storm? I take the keys an she wounldn't say a thing or think anything of it. I'm gonna drive, that's just how it is. You just don't need to say it to 100's of thousands of followers, many of whom are female.

I know. Just... Just don't tweet stuff without looking at how it sounds first. Sigh.

Another face palm inducing tweet from David Price. Sounds all good until that last line. Oh boy.

What would the Jays get if they were in the ALCS, I wonder??

I was going to presume this was wrong but instead looked it up. You're right. CFL averages about 700,000 per game vs Jays 540,000.

How much less likely does this make it that they sign Cano?

I'm off to Foxboro to see the Manning vs Brady showdown live and in person Can't wait!!!

Michael Weiner (MLBPA union chief) has died

Or jus shutting this bitch down altogether, yo

Can you imagine the scoring if the NFL end zone was as big as the CFL's??? What Calvin Johnson could do in that thing...

Decent read: http://mlb.si.com/2013/11/19/blue-jays-marlins-trade-jose-reyes-josh-johnson-mark-buehrle/

There are hardly any players we could trade these guys for that will make the team better in the long run Don't trade these guys for a 1 year rental or something foolish, please!

I've always said a a same as you McCown here is the first I can recall saying double AA Then again the term AA is more typed than spoken anyway

ESPN says reports hav eTigers sending somewhere between 30 and 50M to Rangers. That sure changes the complexion of it

Taking on bad contracts?

There's probably a pride thing in getting traded. Like at first you're shocked. Then curious where you're going. Texas? Wow. Then it's like I wonder who I got traded for? Wow maybe it's for Darvish and Profar! No? Who? IAN f***ING KJNSLER WHAT THE f***???

He must have really been wearing on the Tigers. Poor post season performance and a really crappy attitude about it.

Sure is. I would have loved to have him at that. My guess is given same offer from 3-4 teams including Jays he would still go to SD. Makes a lot of sense for him.

Haven't seen posted elsewhere: - Josh Johnson Narrows Choice To Three Or Four NL Teams By Steve Adams [November 19 at 2:31pm CST] 2:31pm: MLBTR's Tim Dierkes (via Twitter) hears that Johnson's finalists are all NL teams, some likely on the west coast. 1:45pm: Josh Johnson has narrowed his decision down to three or four teams, agent Matt Sosnick tells Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and the Pirates are among the finalists. A deal could be done "in the short-term," Sawchik adds, reminding that Johnson is seeking to rebuild his value on a one-year deal (Twitter links). Last night, Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Johnson reached out to the Padres and Giants early in the offseason to inform the teams that they were his first choice. Johnson, 30 in January, posted a bloated 6.20 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in 81 1/3 innings. Sabermetric stats such as xFIP (3.58) and SIERA (3.73) feel that Johnson was victim to some bad luck, and his .356 BABIP and 18.5 percent homer-to-flyball ratio would back that line of thinking up. Of course, the bigger issue with Johnson is his health. Johnson pitched through tendonitis in his knee all season and also hit the disabled list due to a forearm strain and triceps inflamation this season before undergoing surgery to remove bone spurs from his right elbow in early October. Johnson is one of the game's most talented arms but has only topped 200 innings in a season once, and in fact has only thrown more than 100 innings four times in a Major League season. The Pirates are a logical suitor for his services as they've recently enjoyed success in buying low on talented pitchers coming off down seasons. Francisco Liriano, A.J. Burnett and Mark Melancon have all enjoyed tremendous success in a black and gold jersey. Johnson didn't receive a qualifying offer and therefore won't require his new team to surrender a draft pick.

Well that's a good point. The Steinbrenners and Illich's of the world may put more pride in to their teams than a giant mega corp.

Exactly And 55M is a rounding error for a 23 Billion dollar company

I just mean in general to buy a 25 year old #2 starter for a large up front cash cost, and a reasonable 5 year contract. It makes so much sense for an owner with buckets of cash, a GM desperate to improve the team and has a weak starting rotation as is, and can't afford to trade their few remaining good prospects. If you could have him for exactly the Dravish bid and contract I'd want them to do it, even if he might not be quite as good.

Tanaka makes soooo much sense for this team/owner. Too much sense for it to actually happen.
