I would think that Porcello's trade stock would be be very small right now.

Pecan Pie $8...Sunflower Seeds $3...Getting rid of Porcello...Priceless.

Ok, they trade Porcello, what do you expect for him ?

Trade Porcello and what, put Smyly in the rotation as expected ... fine, but what do you do when you need a long guy when your starter struggles ?
Smyly has been GREAT in that role so far this year.

Might be all your gonna get for him. maybe an Apple pie too.

Perhaps Curly Fries?

Any day the Twins beat the White Sox is a good day!

Just as true today as it was yesterday!

Well this west cost trip took a ugly turn

And, if I'm not mistaken, they are back to .500

Hopefully when the get home, some one will have the key to the Bat locker, it appears that they have lost the locks to the bat rack in Seattle and LA.

Yes, we flushed this trip right down the Porcello receptacle. I mean

Yep, we're a massively under-achieving .500.

So far it's a carbon copy of LAST year ....

Couldn't win more than a few games and then lose more, they were right around .500 or less for a large part of the year.

If this continues 'till the All-Star break, I suspect Leyland will not be treated kindly in the local papers.

Bruce Rondon called up from AAA Toledo, Dotel to the IR.

In seven appearances with the Mud Hens, Rondon did not allow a run. His numbers spanning 7-2/3 innings: five hits, nine strikeouts, two walks.

The two teams I predicted (and hope) will be playing in the World Series are now 10-10 (Nationals) and 9-9 (Tigers). I'm not worried, but I am surprised both teams are struggling early with the teams they put on the field.
