Ba$eball 2009 $ea$on

Nope sry. The jays are just holding back too much. Brian Pryce has been confirmed as the 3rd player according to Jon Heyman. THe mets have joined in the convo between the Sox and Braves concering Adam LaRoche.

And LaRoche is gone just like that. Probably for a player to be named later...

It hasn't been confirmed yet though that he is leaving.

NESN: Sox acquire former Angel Casey Kotchman for Adam LaRoche.

[QUOTE=SteveSparxx;105381]NESN: Sox acquire former Angel Casey Kotchman for Adam LaRoche.[/QUOTE] I have no idea why we made that trade.

One thing I have no clue about is that Kotchman is a first baseman so they traded a first baseman for a first baseman. I don't get it.

[QUOTE=SteveSparxx;105383]One thing I have no clue about is that Kotchman is a first baseman so they traded a first baseman for a first baseman. I don't get it.[/QUOTE] That's what I am saying! I am not really familiar with him at all (I don't watch West Coast or NL baseball) so maybe he is a better defensive player.

Kotchman from what I have seen CAN add a pop to the offense, however, Nick Cafardo believes the Sox are NOT done yet with trading. We've gotten Martinez and Kotchman. Cafardo believes that Kotchman's stay could be short.

What site is the best for rumors right now? I am on CNNSI, Extra bases (Globe) and MLBRumors.

MLBRumors, and Rotoworld.com currently is what I am looking at along with the NESN broadcast for their trade deadline special.

Oh ****, I didn't know there was a trade special! /flips on tv

Mazzarotti, THe pessimist he usually is, says he expects Kotchman to stay.

Five minutes left...please Theo, get us the final piece of the puzzle!

In my opinion, I am fine with these two trades. We have satisfied a void that we have had in the catcher position, I mean Kotarras can't be a backup catcher for the Sox. Martinez fills that role, along with the possibility of giving Ortiz some time off. Kotchman is basically the odd man out in my opinion.

Meh... We really didn't get anything done in my opinion. We don't have the best team in the AL East. We are in trouble...

THe next 15 mins to a half hour, something else COULD be done.

[QUOTE=SteveSparxx;105417]THe next 15 mins to a half hour, something else COULD be done.[/QUOTE] I think they are done.

I'm not really feeling the Sox in this game as the tide seems to have turned, but OMG how did they get out of that inning with the score tied?!!

They pulled energy out of their *** like the Yanks.

Oy vey, this is a stressful game!

[QUOTE=tatertots;107333]Oy vey, this is a stressful game![/QUOTE] Too stressful and I already knew how it was going to end. I turned it off after the top of the 12th...

Start of the Sox-Yanks series in the Bronx tonight! Come on Boston, let's make up some ground this series!

Yay! I actually get to watch a game! So is it bad thing that beating Joba is now at the top of my list instead of beating the Yankees? If he goes for Youk's head again tonight, I swear all bets are off!

I am switching back and forth. The last two games have taken a leap out of my step. Especially because Smolz is pitching and making me nervous.

Old man smoltz is back. Gives up his first of many homers of the night. 1-1.

[QUOTE=SteveSparxx;108517]Old man smoltz is back. Gives up his first of many homers of the night. 1-1.[/QUOTE] Yup..back to Big Brother and I'll keep an eye on the score online...

Suck on THAT Joba!! Muahahahahah!

I have a feeling there will be a lot of long balls tonight, lots of back and forth. Though I would be happy if the scoring stopped now ;)

Ahh, nice first impression!

[QUOTE=tatertots;108538]I have a feeling there will be a lot of long balls tonight, lots of back and forth. Though I would be happy if the scoring stopped now ;)[/QUOTE] Smoltz will be lucky to get through 5 (59 pitches through 3.) This is going to be another long night for the bullpen.
