Sales must be down at this point, maybe they need to do a Stars or Mavericks promo?

Or change it from 7 runs to 3 runs. That is still a stretch lately.

they do a stars 3 goals promo showing all of us that its absolutely necessary to be hockey fans so you can get half off pizza.

FireInThePants was just awesome!

I'm a Stars fan and didn't know that, or I just forget, which is possible.

lol at choo

Mikolas walked 4 tonight and 1 each for the # 7-9 hitters. That just won't get it done.

The pitching in the organization is bad right now, there isn't really any call ups that should be up at all now

 

[terpsfball09]

We've got a ton of guys that could be a number 3 or 4 in our rotation, but we dont have any young guys who pan out to be a 1 or 2. I know we already have Yu and MP (if he comes back strong) but its always nice to have those types of arms.

Could see that coming from Corpus Christi

Anything on the Cincy/Texas rumors over Rios? Tweet said things getting hot.

I think I remember getting that deal after a couple games last year, don't watch as much hockey as I did before the lockout years ago. That turned me off for some time, pissed me off really. Will probably watch more this season but I was like a woman scorned for awhile

Can't keep a good man down.......Rosales

I don't see anything Rio specific, but : The Reds have struggled recently, and it’s unclear what they’ll do at the trade deadline, MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon writes. If they end up buying, they’d like a hitter who can play more than one position. Injuries have hurt the Reds this season, and a number of bulky salaries in 2015 could impede their ability to upgrade. If they do decide to sell (although there does not appear to be much evidence that’s likely), they could make available a number of desirable pieces, including Johnny Cueto, Homer Bailey, Mat Latos and Mike Leake.

 

[Justinkm83]

Johnny Cueto has a 10 M team option for next year. Yes please.


I would trade Rios for any of those pitchers, and be thrilled about it.

 

[Bmurph]

Sounds good Cueto for Rios, good deal if Cueto can stay healthy. HAHA

Wednesday should be nothing short of vomit inducing as the Texas Rangers honor numbah 2 Darack Jetah

 

[terpsfball09]

watching posey catch right now... and its looking AWFUL. receiving, blocking, decisions, he even threw it away when he was throwing it back to the pitcher. Some of it is Jake Peavy being very shaky, but wow

How about Rios + LJ + Sardinas. Probably still not enough.

Yeah that's ridiculous. When I saw that flash on the screen during one of the recent games I immediately said, "why the fuck are we honoring Jeter in our house?"

 

[terpsfball09]

I asked and he said that they called us and we told them that it would take stephenson. Then they told us that stephenson was untouchable. That's all I got haha

Stephenson is an AMAZING arm. I've watched videos on him before. Fastball 95-97 touching 99. Hard, sharp curveball that is + +. An average change up right now but projects to be above average in a couple years. Scouts say he's a no question ace or a 1b pitcher.
