Jim Thome being traded from the Phillies to the Orioles. Astros trying to trade Carlos Lee to the Dodgers, but apparently Lee is vetoing the move.

What are the odds on Charlie Manuel getting the axe?

He's gone from genius to idiot in about 4-5 seasons.

That's about how long it took francona to go from god to pill popping wreck

The Dodgers are an epic disaster. Just 2 weeks ago they were the cream of the crop in baseball. Now they are about to lose their 11th game out of the last 12.

Ike Davis 3-Run blast. The Dodgers are embarrassing.

Why did the O's trade for Thome?

I'm not sure - they need some help to stay in the playoff chase, but they had one of the best DH situations in the AL.

To win more games...

And he will help them do that? The O's are out of it, their pitching has reverted to their normal levels. They are so plush with bust pitching prospects it's scary. Tillman, Arrieta, Britton, and now Matusz.

Kip Wells with 7 shutout innings and a victory today at Coors Field against the Rockies

Epic error by Jay Bruce on a routine fly ball costs the Reds the game over the Giants. Walk off 2 run error. Amazing

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #1987:** July 01, 2012, 07:48:38 PM »

Vogelsong got robbed of a win by shoddy bullpen work in the ninth. Grr.

How is Adam Kennedy the starting second baseman for the Dodgers? He was washed up with the Nationals a few years ago and now he's starting for a contender.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #1989:** July 01, 2012, 08:17:04 PM »

Kershaw, 4 batters faced and non retired. Lucky to get one out on a pick off and the other on a baserunning gaffe. The Dodgers are so bad

Kentucky_National · « **Reply #1990:** July 01, 2012, 08:20:18 PM »

The Dodgers will be overtaken by the Dbacks soon

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #1991:** July 01, 2012, 08:23:32 PM »

I'd take the Nats AAA lineup over what the Dodgers are putting out there.

Dee Gordon .275 OBP leadoff

Washed up bums Abreu, Rivera, and Kennedy batting 3-4-5

.275 OBP??? Wow Dee Gordon really is that bad.

I'm not sure why he gets so much publicity and accolades.

.224/.275/.276 (.551 OPS) in 290 ABs. Absolutely dreadful. 61 Ks to 18 BBs too. Awful awful

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #1994:** July 01, 2012, 08:51:27 PM »

Dee Gordon with a disastrous error on a tailor made DP ball. His 16th error of the season. Why hasn't he been sent down to AAA? Worst player in baseball.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #1995:** July 01, 2012, 08:53:45 PM »

And Dee Gordon commits another error. Terrible throw on a routine grounder. Costs the Dodgers another run. This kid sucks donkey dick.

Kentucky_National · « **Reply #1996:** July 01, 2012, 08:54:39 PM »

Dee Gordon probably should head back down to the minors. Clayton Kershaw should be allowed to punch him in the nads.

How many stolen bags does Gordon have? There's no way they're keeping him up for speed alone.

MATT KEMP returns on Friday the 13th vs. SD. Hope he's not superstitious.
