Grey, I’m not going to lie. I fist pumped in my office cubicle when I saw my name mentioned. Thanks!

Now my boss thinks I’m really excited about grant writing. Fist pumping was a bad idea.

I’ll be at the Cubs/Cards doubleheader on Sunday, and I’m gonna end up in jail if the Cubs continue to suck this bad. Would you bail me out if you were my one phone call?

I know Iannetta is a scab and I shouldn’t pick at him, but the urge is irresistible. Do you think he has that much more upside that it’s worth holding him over any of the high-performing catchers on waivers right now?

Also — Hart, S. Hairston, DeJesus, or Reimold?

Thanks!

Just watched Pujols hit his 32nd. That guy is my hero and is carrying my fantasy team.

@Grey: You think Atkins is worth a pick up in my 10 team league with this possible trade talk to the Red Sox? He is a stronger second half guy anyways. Id probably drop Beckham for him who is pretty much a fill in player right now anyways.

Nelson Cruz was named Torii Hunter’s replacement in the All Star game yet he’s riding the bench in Texas. Oh the irony.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: No... that was Stewart's first half.

@Joel: For a second I thought you said "strapping on."

By: Joel

Joel — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:31:14 +0000

Ian Stewart is primed to launch for the second half this season. I’m strapping in.

By: Simply Fred

Simply Fred — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:27:22 +0000

@Baron Von Vulturewins: Did you just call Grey a "cheap bastard". You can't say he's cheap after he offered to loan us money in earlier posts. As for the second part, well, the girlfriends would have to speak to that.

Try to slip a quick sign-and-trade of Shannon Stewart in the F-Her deal?

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:20:50 +0000

@Ant: F-Her

By: Ant

Ant — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:19:32 +0000

Aaron Hill and Corey Hart for Josh Johnson or Hill and Stewart for F-her

Best tiitle ever Grey. I am hanging on to Torii for the riide thiis season, too, keepiing the faiith. I basiically got him for free (round 31 in a 10 team H2H). Last time I had Torii was 2007, when he carriied me to the champiionshiip. Frankliin Gutiierrez can hold the fort whiile Torii takes a miid-July sniizooze.

Soto is on the 15 day D/L. Big Lou said it could keep him out a month.

@Grey: Sorry for all those links. I kept trying to post, and nothing came up. After four trys, and writing it over several times until I was awake enough to cut and past) I gave up. Don't know if was my computer or a gltich in Razzball's server.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:34:55 +0000

@Pops: Fair, not a no-brainer. I'd try for a slightly safer pitcher first, but if you've exhausted those options, then it's fine. @royce!: Now there's an endorsement! @Probable Party Starter: I'd start Blanton, not Joba. @Jo: Don't trade for Reyes. @Lava: I wouldn't. @Bob: Price, Hanson, Smoltz... @GTS: re: Starting Ubaldo -- I wouldn't. @GTS: re: Lohse -- I wouldn't.

By: GTS

GTS — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:28:18 +0000

Pick up Lohse and drop Cook?

By: Bob

Bob — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:28:05 +0000

Actually, I’d like to add Liriano, so it’s Liriano, Smoltz, Price or Hanson who are the candidates for my last three starting slots. Thanks.

By: GTS

GTS — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:26:31 +0000

Start Ubaldo vs ATL today?

By: peter

peter — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:24:25 +0000

@Adam: Thanks, Adam. If he's got a relief roll then, yeah, not very interesting.

By: Adam

Adam — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:22:18 +0000

@peter: He'll be used in relief, Kevin Hart is the replacement 5th starter and they won't need him again til after the break so they optioned him to Iowa to stay on a regular schedule

By: Bob

Bob — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:18:19 +0000

David Price, John Smoltz or Tommy Hanson?

By: peter

peter — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:16:52 +0000

@Frank Rizzo: I was just looking at his minor league #s... He's 25, averages more than 1 K per IP, good K/BB ratios, and an ERA in the low 3s over 5 minor league seasons. Also enjoys long walks on the beach. How long is he up for? Just a start? I think Lou is streaming his pitchers right now.
