Don't get the trade with the Royals. Ankiel is not really an improvement over any of the Braves outfielders and Farnsworth just sucks (although I guess he's been OK this year). Seems like a lateral move.

Kerry Wood may be going to the Yankees.

Oh Fishy...

Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot for Blake DeWitt and prospects (Brett Wallach and Kyle Smit). I am not sure I understand why Theriot and DeWitt are involved. I'd understand if the Cubs wanted to get rid of Theriot because they have too many middle infielders, but they are taking one back from the Dodgers as well. Interesting. Also, wonder if all this Manny talk is legit or BS.

Wow, Jake Westbrook to the Cardinals and Ryan Ludwick to the Padres (a couple small prospects from San Diego involved in the trade as well - one going to Cleveland and one going to St. Louis). Did not expect Ludwick to be traded, I guess they are totally confident in Jon Jay.

And an FYI on Oswalt's line. Only 3 of those runs should have been earned, not sure what the official scorer at Nationals Park was smoking tonight. Just sayin'. Glad the Phillies defense decided to show up for their new ace tonight.

Give Happ time. All of those base runners and high pitch counts will catch up to him at some point. Very happy the Phillies were able to sell high on him.

I am anxiously awaiting to hear from the knee-jerk reactionary Phillies fans.

"Special" Ed Wade is leaving his mark. He is fantastic at drafting and not much else. So at least there is a little hope for the future, I guess.

And Eklund is reporting that James Wisniewski is getting traded to the Islanders.

Sounds like it's basically a done deal.

I haven't seen yet.

The Rangers traded for Cristian Guzman. For a bankrupt team, they are sure making a lot of moves.

White Sox are supposedly about to trade for Edwin Jackson. Daniel Hudson and maybe one other pitching prospect going to the Diamondbacks.

If only the real Jersey Shore was like it is in this show.

Also, this happened a bit earlier, but Matt Capps traded to Minnesota for Wilson Ramos. The Nationals are going to be disgustingly good in a couple years, [expletive].

Got the benefit of a bad call tonight, but hey I will take it. The breaks are starting to go our way, after almost 3 months of the total opposite.

I don't want to be a dick...I really don't. So I won't even start with this one.

When they are a competitive team, I doubt they will. As I have said in the past, they are absolutely approaching it the right way for this season.

Not this year.

Miguel Tejada to San Diego. Not sure what Baltimore is getting.

Wow, Houston already flipped Gose to Toronto for Brett Wallace. Makes it look a little bit better from the Astros perspective.

Jorge Cantu to the Rangers is all but done.

Holy [expletive], Vance Worley (the one guy I was going to be slightly upset about losing) is not even in this trade. Ken Rosenthal is saying it's Gose, Happ, and Jonathan Villar. Ruben Amaro has just redeemed himself.

Orioles hire Buck Showalter.
