It's July 19th and the Pirates are in first place.

*head asplodes*

If they go 33-36, they'll secure their first winning season.

It's nice to see them winning again. I got a soft spot for them.

I dont know man, Wilson Betemit isnt really much of an upgrade.Certainly not defensively.

Inge has had to go since that tank-ending of a 2009 season. He has sucked ever since.

And he got even WORSE after he came back from Mono this year, he was like 1 for 50 or something. I think Dombrowski finally had enough.

You know it's bad when he says, "Well we re-signed him thinking we could get another .230 season and 70 RBI out of him." Ouch.

Put Cabby at 3rd, sign Pujols this winter

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

wasnt questioning that Inge had to go, just that the guy they've replaced him with isnt much better, and in a few ways worse.

Let's talk trade deadline. It's clear that Beltran, Bell and maybe BJ Upton will be traded. Where will they go? Where should they go? I hope and pray the Giants don't get Beltran.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I think the Red Sox will eventually get Beltran.

 

[BlackLantern]

trade Beltran to the Pirates....let's just put them out of their misery NOW as opposed to seeing them collapse later in the season

Eh, Don't sweat it. I don't think the Giants are willing to part with some of their most coveted prospects for a rental player, who is injury prone. If I were the G-Men, i'd go after Upton or Pence if he were available.

If the Pirates are smart they don't blow their prospect load to get Beltran, better off building on the success of this year without compromising the future.

It's a blowout in Arlington. Rangers up 20-5 on the Twins and it's gotten so bad Micheal Cuddyer is pitching.

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

Brian Wilson meeting Obama. Intimidation all around.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Wilson: Dont stare into the deep blues Barry because they will SWALLOW YOU!

Lincecum: DUUUUDDDDEEEEE!!!!!

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

He looks so high haha but probably not anymore than usual.

The Twins pitching staff is so bad right now. Cuddyer was the only pitcher not to give up any runs to the Rangers, thats how bad it is. Hopefully they can start to win now and make a run for 1st place, it is not out of reach yet.

Wow Pirates, wow that is without a doubt the worst call I've ever seen in baseball. The ball beats him by 5 feet and he clear as day tags the runner in the leg

 

[NHawk19]

Pirates lose after 19 on a blatant blown call . . . Again why is there not instant replay?

 

[Poeman]

Because they feel it lengthens the game from 3 hrs and 34 minutes to 3hrs and 45 minutes.

It is too much for them to handle.

 

[Erzengel]

Looks like it's leaning that Beltran will be a Giant.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Sounds like Beltran is going to SF for Zach Wheeler and/or Gary Brown. Good haul for the Mets if it's true. There's speculation Jonathan Sanchez will be in the deal and possibly flipped.
