It kind of feels like things are officially going down the shitter in Boston Worst outfield in baseball 10 games under 500 after making a bit of a run in June Getting killed by hated Tampa 1B/OF Mike Carp has requested to the Red Sox that they trade him, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe tweets. Abraham notes that Carp spoke to the Red Sox soon after the All-Star break, but the news of that discussion arrives just after the last-place Sox began trading veterans by sending Jake Peavy to the Giants. +

Yeah but have you seen the ugly scared motherf***er the Yanks are sending out??

Dodgers, Rangers, Reds, Yankees and A's have all made this market work "It's just money" Wish we had some

Someone always has to go there... Oy vey

Let's pound the ugly, scared looking motherf***er

Rich and poor teams both have scored in the international free agent market and signed quality Japanese, Dominican and Cuban players in their mid 20's at zero prospect and draft pick cost Why not us for once?

Throw $$ at

If we got to an ALCS against Oakland this year and lost I'd be happy And the chances of avoiding them in the first round is better if you win the division and let them play the wildcard winner

Awesome to have it validated

DIVISION OR BUST wc f

Rodney with a walk-off pickoff!! LOL Mariners win

I can't stand Rodney, but Go Rodney!

I want to see Mattingly make Puig bunt

Yep. Often Halladay's no hitter too.

4th yes!

3-0 Seattle Go M's go...

Thread of the year, bitches TOTY

But as usual, it's not like the NBA where the #1 guy sometimes is an obvious franchise changer and 2-5 are like 2-3 rungs lower.

Is there a clear #1 pick next year worth tanking for? Too early to tell I suppose.

I like Greek food and I hear Zorba is good. But I'd always order off the menu, no buffet thanks.

Have to post this

For the first time in more than two decades, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is changing its rules regarding the induction of recently retired players. Under the new system, effective immediately, players will remain on the ballot for a maximum of only 10 years, instead of 15. Previously, players stayed on the ballot for up to 15 years -- as long as they were listed on at least five percent of the ballots cast by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in the previous year. Though that percentage remains the same, Hall of Fame candidates will now shift from the BBWAA ballot to the Era Committee system after a decade of eligibility. "The Board is committed to keeping the policies and voting procedures of the Hall of Fame relevant," said Jane Forbes Clark, chairman of the board for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. "We believe the BBWAA has done an excellent job of honoring the criteria advanced by the Hall of Fame -- player's record, contributions to the teams on which the player played, character, sportsmanship and integrity -- to determine individuals who belong in the Hall of Fame by the highest threshold, a 75 percent majority. The Board believes these changes are necessary to ensure the integrity of the voting process moving forward." http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/baseball-hall-of-fame-changes-its-induction-rules?ymd=20140726&content_id=86398586&vkey=news_mlb
