So, the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals are in full force, the World Cup is about to begin, and the biggest sports story on a Tuesday night in June is going to be a Pittsburgh Pirates-Washington Nationals game. Who would have thought a month ago?

Looks like the White Sox are open for business. :lol:

 

 

Heard this from multiple executives: The White Sox have made it clear they are open for business, and ready to trade off parts from what has been a very disappointing team. The perception of other teams is that Paul Konerko is available right now, and as we know, Chicago GM Ken Williams is a deal-maker,someone who will move quickly -- as he did with the Contreras and Thome deals last fall.

 

Some rival executives find these to be the most interesting White Sox, in possible trades:Thornton, who they assume is probably unobtainable; and Andruw Jones, a cheap power hitter ($500,000 base) in a year in which teams are starved for offense. Some teams like Konerko but shudder at taking on $8 m still owed for this year; Peavy considered by some flat-out untradeable.

In a report for ESPN.com, Karl Ravech describes the National League East, “The new power division in baseball,” saying:

 

“Considering the media markets within the division – New York, Washington and Philadelphia – combined with the energy a new ballpark and great young players will create in Florida, the National League East will be the most competitive, exciting and dynamic division in baseball for years to come.”

I agree, lots of young talent on all the teams

I read something the other day that the NL East was the new power division over the AL East.. and I lost all faith in humanity.

The NL East currently has a better record than the AL East. I still think the AL East is a little better, but the NL East has better young talent.

The top 4 teams in the AL East would win the NL East... I don't care how badly Baltimore drags down their win totals :lol:

They would be in first true, but Baltimore is like 6-21 vs the Yanks Toronto and Rays, infact the Jays record vs teams with a better record than the Marlins (last place team) is 13-17 the NL East may not have outstanding win totals, but all 5 teams are above average teams, the AL East has 2 great teams, 2 solid teams, 1 absolute [expletive] team.

They sold freaking Strasburg jerseys at the Indians game. Really? Crowd was loudest when Josh Cribbs was shown on the big screen. Here's some pics:
