Surprised this hasn't been started yet. Maybe we have to wait for the Sox to actually win a game? Despite my hatred for the Yankees, and the overexposure of the Sawx, I still thought this was funny: |

Here's hoping the Natinals play .500 ball this year.

There will always be a place for him on some lunatic blog somewhere.
Probably the worst take of the year.

There were 7 pitchers who had a higher OPS then Drew Butera and 50+ plate appearances last year. Luckily, the Twins will be starting him at catcher for at least the next 15 days. At least the guy the Twins traded their best catching prospect for blew a save tonight.
UGHHHHHH

That said, Ramos is off to a great start, hitting .450, with an OPS greater than 1.00. I'd make the Capps for Ramos trade every day of the week, especially considering that Pudge Rodriguez is old, and the back end of that Nationals bullpen is the strength of the team. |

All I have to say is... Let's Go (World Series reigning champion) Giants!
That and please keep Bryan Stow in your prayers.

It really wasn't a good/necessary trade last year, especially if the Twins knew that they'd end up with Butera as their primary backup (which, they did, since he was their primary back up last year). Catchers get hurt, Mauer has some injury history, and the Twins traded their best back up catcher for a decent set up guy. |

As a long time Brooklyn/LA Dodger fan I hate to see the off field problems. Lets win for the Duke, Jackie, and Walt Alston.

Trivia QuestionWhat one MLB team has won the World Series in three different citiies? I think you mean which one MLB team has won the World Series in three different franchise cities, since teams have won the WS in a variety of locations. Owing that only three franchises have played in three distinct metropolitan areas since the formation of the NL and AL, it would be the Bos/Milw/Atlanta Braves. But what are the other two? One is easy, one less so. |

DWF, you are correct and you improved the phrasing of my question. Owing that only three franchises have played in three distinct metropolitan areas since the formation of the NL and AL, it would be the Bos/Milw/Atlanta Braves. But what are the other two? One is easy, one less so. 1. The Philly, KC, Oakland A's 2. The Milwaukee, St. Louis Browns -- became the Baltimore Orioles. |

The only one I knew was Bos/Mil/Atl. Liked the Braves as a youngster.

Crazy ending last night for the White Sox. You could tell Lillibridge isn't used to playing in the outfield on the first play (he definitely made that play against the wall look a lot harder then it should, but still solid that he caught it), but the second catch was a great one.

I'm currently mad at myself for not going to the game, but still, ;D
What a game by Liriano and against the White Sox too! Sick plays by Valencia, Morneau and Span to keep the no-hitter going too.
Not to mention the fact that Liriano > Freddie Garcia & Jacque Jones > Adam Dunn ;D
