But Lou had the hotter wife.

 

That's what Babe said.

 

At least it will all be over in 10 weeks.
Then we can do this whole carnival again with Ortiz.
Who wants to bet that one will be about a hundred fucking times worse.

 

Nothing going on thru 6 with Big Fat Bartolo Colon in Seattle.

 

Good luck to his teammates if he completes it and they attempt to carry him off the field.

 

Cano breaks it up with a single, 2 outs in the 7th.

 

Papi has 24 homers.

 

In some dark, decrepit basement on Staten Island, Manky just popped wood and let out a shriek that would make Suzyn Waldman go, "What the hell was THAT!?"

 

Soria to the Tigers for two prospects.

Multiple sources say the team has also discussed moving on without Howard. The team has floated his name in trade talks but Howard is owed the remainder of $25 million for this season and $60 million over the next two seasons. No team is interested in taking on that amount of money -- or even part of it because the Phils know they’d have to eat a large portion of Howard’s salary -- for a declining player.

The logical next step is to release Howard. Sources say team officials have discussed the possibility of paying off Howard and moving on without him after the season.

 

After the last two nights, I think they want to do without Papelbon as well.

 

Live by the fat contract, die by the fat contract.
