AJ 2.2 IP and 5 SO's. Dammit.

Whale.

What if GD is into fat chicks? More cushion for the pushin.

To be fair. I don't think there's anyone you wouldn't have a rum with. So that's not really saying anything.

Did that really just happen?

I think you need a rum.

Atta girl Happ.

Pretty legit gift.

I hope we give him a used tampon.

Let's Go Bluejays! I'll be happy if we just finish above them in the standings

I guess if your doing mico 50/50 though he's not worth it unless you know 100% he's in. For a big tournament though he's worth the risk.

Look him up vs Lefty Pitching. @ 2600 he should easily be worth it. Stults pretty much sucks too. August 29th 9:13pm EDT UPDATE: Van Slyke (ankle) will likely be ready to play Sunday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Yep. Scott Van Slyke is also a steal at 2600 vs Stultz.

Yeah. I just canceled it.

I'm going to play some of those big tournaments today. I'm going with Ryu today for my pitcher. Thought about taking a shot on AJ with him playing the Mets in Citi field.

Speaking of Scott Van Slyke. He's an excellent play on Fan Duel today for a bargain price of 2600$ You want to do a free head to head today?

Do you factor in wind speeds/direction when doing your projections?

What kind of contract do you guys think Stephen Drew will get? He's been terrible this year (-0.2 fWAR) but probably has a pretty good chance to be at least decent next year. Obviously he's probably looking at another one year deal and i can't see him getting a whole lot of money. Having him at 2nd (and depth for SS incase of Reyes injury would be real nice). The 2nd base FA market is pretty thin. Maybe he'll fire Boras and we'll have a shot. Rogers Centre is not a bad place for a hitter looking to rebuild his value.

Who's down for a match today? Free or any amount of money.

I think Forbes has Toronto ranked 4th also. IIRC.

Canada/USA Debate is like a my Dad can beat up your Dad debate. It's immature. Google top 10 cities or top 10 countries to live in if you want to know who's the better country/city.

Orioles Acquire Kelly Johnson By Charlie Wilmoth [August 30, 2014 at 9:29pm CDT] The Orioles have announced that they’ve acquired infielders Kelly Johnson and Michael Almanzar from the Red Sox for infielders Jemile Weeks and Ivan De Jesus. This is the Orioles’ second significant trade of the evening, having also recently acquired outfielder Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox. The deal gives the Orioles a bit of low-cost infield depth. Johnson began the season with the Yankees, then headed to Boston in a trade for Stephen Drew. (He also played for the Rays in 2013 and the Blue Jays in 2011 and 2012, meaning that he’s now been on the roster of all five AL East teams, with none in between.) He’s played mostly third base and first base since 2012, and he’s hit .212/.290/.354 for the season. With the Orioles, he’ll likely play mostly at third base in the wake of the team’s loss of Manny Machado for the rest of the season. The Orioles selected Almanzar from the Red Sox in the Rule 5 Draft last offseason, but returned him in early July. Since then, he’s hit .280/.360/.427 in 186 plate appearances for Double-A Portland, mostly playing third base. At 23, he’s the youngest player in the deal. Weeks was a first-round draft pick by the Athletics in 2008, and they sent him to Baltimore in 2013 in the Jim Johnson trade. The 27-year-old Weeks played in 215 games with the A’s in 2011 and 2012 but has spent most of the past two seasons in the minors. This season, he’s hit .278/.391/.385 in 254 plate appearances for Triple-A Norfolk. Despite the high on-base percentage, the second baseman probably profiles mostly as depth at this point. The same could be said for De Jesus, who heads back to the Red Sox after spending a few months in the organization in 2012. De Jesus came to Boston from the Dodgers in the Adrian Gonzalez / Carl Crawford / Josh Beckett blockbuster, then headed to Pittsburgh almost immediately as the Red Sox traded for Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt. The Pirates showed little interest in him despite a strong offensive season in Triple-A in 2013, and he signed with the Orioles after the season. The 27-year-old hit .282/.358/.389 in 469 plate appearances for Norfolk this year, mostly playing shortstop.

Orioles Acquire Alejandro De Aza By Charlie Wilmoth [August 30, 2014 at 8:18pm CDT] The Orioles have announced that they’ve acquired left-handed outfielder Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox for minor league pitchers Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar. Orioles executive Dan Duquette says (via MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko on Twitter) that De Aza had been available for a few weeks, which suggests he cleared waivers. USATSI_7890034_154513410_lowresDe Aza, 30, has hit .246/.312/.358 this season, with his power, in particular, taking a step backward — he hit a career-high 17 homers last year, but only has five this season, and his slugging percentage is off by about 50 points as compared to the last two years. He remains, however, a solid defender who can play all three outfield spots. He’s making $4.25MM this season in his second year of arbitration, and he can become eligible for free agency after 2015, although at least one executive has opined that De Aza could be a non-tender candidate after the season. The Orioles already have a strong starting outfield of Nelson Cruz, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis, but they can surely use De Aza as a backup. With Manny Machado‘s recent injury, sometime-outfielder Steve Pearce is needed more frequently in the infield. De Aza’s addition will probably also mean even less playing time for fellow lefty outfielder David Lough, who has struggled at the plate this season. Even with the Orioles’ need to play Pearce more in the infield, they were fairly well stocked with outfielders, so De Aza represents more of a luxury than a need. It’s no surprise, then, that they do not appear to have paid a high price to get him. Chalas, 22, has pitched most of the season with Class A+ Frederick, where he posted a 4.80 ERA, 6.4 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 69 1/3 innings of relief. He has also appeared in two games for Triple-A Norfolk. Blackmar, also 22, has pitched 130 1/3 innings for Frederick, with a 3.18 ERA, 5.7 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9, pitching mostly has a starter. MLB.com does not rank either of them in its list of the top 20 Orioles prospects.

I know you will. But chances are if no one else has yet it's not going to fill.
