Baseball - August 2007

The fact of the matter is that no player that could have been traded for at the deadline would’ve turned the Yankees into a World Series team. I consider the Yankees trade deadline winners because they resisted the urge to once again trade away what ever young talent is in their farm system for some aging, slightly above-average position player. They've done that the last few years and look what it's left them with: an aging team that can't get past the first round of the playoffs and a completely depleted farm system. If anything I think the Yanks should have looked to trade Abreu or Damon or any other over-the-hill position player for a prospect with some sort of potential. But not doing the opposite, in my opinion, was smart.

This year is just practice for the Brew crew, all the roster moves and call ups were meant for '08---we are AHEAD of schedule...Now as for the Cubs when you lose it ''AGAIN'' this year be it to the Brewers, Padres (wild card) or even the Cards how will you feel (lol)??

The Mariners, who lost out on all of the pitching that interested them, had their final pre-trading deadline talk not about a pitcher by about an infielder.

Seattle came very close to getting the Astros to part with Mark Loretta, sources say.

General manager Bill Bavasi said the club was close on landing a position player just before time expired. He wouldn't be more specific, but it was learned later that Loretta was the player the Mariners were trying to pry loose.

It was going to be a sweet deal if it went through, because the Mariners weren't having to give up any minor leaguers they consider their top eschlon.

He's primarily known as a second baseman, but he's played three dozen games both at short and second this year in addition to 18 games at first and third. He's hitting .294, just four points under his career batting average.

Whats up with that? Where would Loretta even fit? We have the best defensive MI and great corners, Not to mention Vidro's been great! Ugh Bavasi...

Baseball Players are Cowards.

Team sports require fidelity, to the sports and players owe it to each other.

This whole thing about Bonds would go away, if a current or recently retired player spoke out like Canseco has.

Steroids in baseball was like speeding on the highway, many or most people were doing it, b/c they knew they couldn't get caught.

This would all go away and this would just go down as the Era of Performance enhancers.

How does going back in time to find out if ONE PLAYER was doing it going to help the game, it would serve baseball better to investigate everyone or no-one.

Selective prosecution is not what this country is supposed to be about.

I'm saying this team is way better. The team in 2004 got on a great run at the end of the season but they by far weren't the best team in the league that year. Not that having the best team in the league means your going to win the World Series or anything.

NY Times said: "Matsui homered again in the sixth [of last night's game], giving him 13 for the month. He hit .345 in July, with 28 runs batted in and 31 runs scored, making a compelling case to be named the American League’s player of the month.

Richard A. Linehan (1872-1852) b. Lawrence, MA
(likely played in the 1890's)

and

James E. Ryan (1867-1903) b. Haverhill, MA
(likely played in the 1880's)

Their granddaughter tells me they played for minor league teams in New England.

Could find nothing on-line about them. Anyone have a reference?
