CAno

Yes, I'll update it now and congrats to him.

I would be worried at all about his 40 strikeouts in his last 83 at-bats....

Guess who has zero homers since the HR Derby......

Yoenis Cespedes
Chris Davis
Michael Cuddyer
And Robinson Cano

Bud Norris to the Orioles!  For Hoes (tee hee) and a yet to be named prospect.

Wow. In it to win it. 

Hoes is a hefty prospect for a two month rental.

He isn't a rental.  Norris has two more years after this year under team control.  We also gave up the compensation pick which I think is a bigger loss than Hoes.

Oh yeah - shit, he's only ARB eligible next year.  That's a great deal then and makes MUCH more sense to me.

I thought I read it on ESPN but alas, it was in the stupid comments.  My bad for not fact checking.

He's under club control until 2015.  (as has been said)

Hammel to DL

Fire the mana........  hitting coach!

I don't have cable so don't get any O's games, but it looks like they played like the Nats last night.

What's the deal with Manny? 39 doubles in 87 games, then 0 doubles in 20 games.

[Got Haggis?]

they played the astros

and had a melt down

at least they didn't let anyone steal home this time i guess

[K8teebug]

Last night's loss hurt.

ouch.

[shemptiness]

I think close losses hurt more then blowouts.  Easier to turn the page on a blowout.

Not really.  I was at the game last night and I left after the sixth inning.  Totally a wasted night.  Boring and no excitement.  I saw Jim Johnson blow two games in one week and at least they were exciting until the last pitch.

He sucks balls recently.  Pitchers have adjusted to him and he hasn't adjusted  back. Can't hit a slider to save his life.  He should be moved down in the order and given a couple of days off.  He isn't doing anyone any favors right now with his bat.
