Hit up the Rockies game yesterday and got to see my first triple play happen live. That was pretty cool.
That's fucking awesome man! I'd be telling everyone within earshot of me about that for weeks!
Everyone is laughing at Drew, but he came out pretty good in the deal and he is very fortunate that the BoSox have the infield problems they do now. What's funny is that if he held out just another two-three weeks, the draft pick compensation attached to him would have expired and his overall price would have gone up significantly. I'm really surprised that the M's and Morales haven't worked out a deal already. Maybe Hart landing on the DL will do that for them now.
It sucks Tanaka lost his first game against the goddamned Cubs. I had the game on and it looked like the rain and muddy mound were really getting inside of his head though. From all the games I've seen in Japan, it looks like they play them all in domes/controlled conditions? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like all the Japanese highlights I see are in played inside of concrete monstrosities.
I'm basically sitting upon one ass-cheek over the Cliff Lee news. Amaro says the injury is mild, but I (stupidly) drafted him as my ace pitcher in
both of my fantasy leagues. I should know better than to put all my eggs in one basket, but I basically had him ranked #2 along with Felix behind Kershaw, but all things equal I take the NL pitcher. Wainwright is elite, but he's been hurt before, Fernandez had only one season under his belt at that point, Price has had lulls in his career, Japanese pitchers like Darvish and Iwakuma eventually come back down to earth, Scherzer was due for SOME regression after last season (see Verlander). Anyway, here's hoping to health for Cliff Lee! He's never been hurt before! He doesn't get the wins he deserves with the Phils, but he's always a lock for 200 K's and a WHIP around 1.00.
