    Saw on Twitter the Dodgers did same for Josh Beckett.

    TAKE IT ALL, BITCH! And toss in Carl Crawford.

    As a Dodgers fan, I get Gonzalez, I kinda sorta get Beckett. But I don't understand Crawford (with the elbow surgery) and Punto.

    Josh Beckett's way less useful than Carl Crawford.

    Trade Punto to IJAG, she'll find a use for him.

    She hasn't seen my criticism of him yet. Waiting for the hounds to be released. :)

    Prospect Allen Webster apparently also in the deal.

    Did Boston also trade its right to any future Tea Party re-enactments?

    Has there ever been a cycle and a no-hitter in the same game?

    The Jeter for MVP campaign is picking up steam:

    http://www.lohud.com/article/20120824/SPORTS/308240044/Derek-Jeter-38-becomes-part-MVP-discussion

    I believe he will win it. The vote will come down to Jetes, Trout, and Cabrera.

    The Tigers are only 50-50 to enter the playoffs, and Cabrera will lose votes because of his poor defensive stats.

    The Angels are a 3rd place team and Trout is already beginning to fade. Even if he hangs in there the writers will not snub Jeter by choosing a rookie player over him.

    This will be the year they start to make up for not awarding Jeter the MVP in 1999, 2006, and 2009.
