Seems no reason to panic unless it's announced that all of the refineries are down for the rest of the year, but that's what people do they panic.
It's a great excuse for the oil co. to make millions more.

They have more coming in from Oklahoma and Louisiana, it's just going to take a little longer to get here then they're use too.

I just hope we don't see rally killer Rua as a result of the injury.

I'd rather go with Robinson everyday at third or move Gallo to 3rd and put deshields in the outfield everyday.

I hope Beltre misses only a few days tho.

That should just about end his season. A lot like it started. That is where we are at with Beltre at his age. Missing at least 30 to 40 games or more should be expected. If he plays over 100 games next year it will be surprising.

Should we start rooting for losses to improve draft position now?


Or wait a week? I guess September reinforcements may help a little

will always be thankful for the opportunity to see #3000, given how precarious his health can be at times.

DT will never root for losses. Hard to believe that even you would say that.

In 2014 that made sense, but there are too many teams below us now. Back then a handful more losses could have meant Bregman instead of Tate, but Wash messed that up by resigning.

Miguel Gonzalez has been traded to the Rangers from the White Sox. TiQuan Forbes goes to the Sox.

Holy crap.....

So many trades. Didn't these guys have to clear waivers first tho?

The verlander one was surprising, also it looks like the angels are gearing up for the wildcard.

Verlander passed through waivers because no team wanted his salary for the last couple of years of his contract. Now the Astros are stuck with it and are three prospects short as well.
