I still wonder what the asking price is for Ianetta.

Looks like Padres are being dicks. I hope ANT isn't about to add in more just for him.

*Coleman just made Donald look badly bad.

The guy whos reporting is backtracking now

It's times like this I hate Twitter for its immediacy. Sounds like the Indians just kicked the tires. It would make no sense unless Houston was eating almost all of his contract, and they're not going to do that.

Yeah, that's what happened last night when Kipnis was supposedly included in the trade. It was all over the place for a while. I almost miss the old days when you didn't hear about a trade at all until it was over.

Shocking baseball in that inning.

by **Commodore Perry** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:03 pm

I really think Fukudome needs to be higher up in the order, so long as you're putting marson, kearns and donald as the 7-9. Its just a waste of a baserunner

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:06 pm

Carlos Guillen is a punk of the highest order for what he did after hitting that home run.

Haven't seen it. I don't think DET and ANA play again. Maybe somebody will bunt to break up Verlander's no hitter.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:07 pm

Fucking Verlander.

What did he do

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:08 pm

Yeah, this twitter shit is ridiculous. I do not have an account and am glad, but was getting the feeds off MLBRumors.com. Twitter is actually very annoying and people who do not provide a service and just tweet about their lives are clowns.

I still remember like it was yesterday waking up and reading the paper in a very small blurb about trading Joe Carter for Baerga, Alomar, and James. No tweets, no "let's go to Tim Kurkjian", and no rumors of any. Just done deals. I miss that, too.

Hit home run. Stood at he plate for three seconds. Spiked bat. And stared at Weaver all the way down the baseline.

Weaver then went at Alex Avila's head and got tossed.

Posed like wanker, wanked before starting his HR trot like a wanker, turned his body to face weaver like a wanker, ran round the bases like a complete dick and touched home plate (you guessed it) like a LeBron James sized wanker.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:12 pm

Weaver got ejected for throwing at the next Detroit wanker.

Yeah, I stupidly signed up for all these Twitter feeds on my phone so I can keep up to date with the deadline. Handy if I'm out of the house or doing chores, but it's a pain in the ass when it beeps every minute, usually with just someone "re-tweeting" (can't believe that's even a word) what somebody else just reported.

At 4:01, I'm going into major deleting mode.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:15 pm

Weaver had a much better reason to go for the head than Cookie Carrasco did.

Angels are gonna do everything they can to ruin Verlander's day.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:15 pm

Last Play: E. Aybar safe at first on pitcher J. Verlander's throwing error, E. Aybar to second

Did Aybar try to bunt?

Edit: Olney says yes.

Awesome.

I'd love to be that first base umpire.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:16 pm

Wow, V hitting 100 on the gun.

Now Tigers official scorer rules a bunt single an error, awesome stuff

I only follow about 40 bonafide reporters who aren't going to clog up the feed. Twitter is fantastic if you use it wisely. Unfortunately, it becomes more and more difficult to do it. But Bastian, Hoynes, Keith Law, Kevin Goldstein, Buster Olney...it's invaluable to follow those guys.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:17 pm

Ha!

Aybar bunts for a base hit to break up Verlander's no-no. It's a three-run game, so he's well in his rights, in my opinion.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:17 pm

HAHAHAHAH! Enjoy your no-no Ervin Santana style, Detroit.

It was ruled an error.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:19 pm

No luck for the Tribe today

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:19 pm

The left field foul line is just being cruel to the Indians today.

by **Adverb Harry** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:20 pm

I've got most of those guys. Castrovince and Tony, too. I stupidly followed Jon Heyman and Ken Rosenthal for about two days, but couldn't take it anymore. I don't know how those two have time to even wipe their asses with as often as they're posting badly-phrased "updates."

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:20 pm

Hafner able to PH?

HAHA Detroit.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:22 pm

That Tigers game has suddenly become a shitshow.

If either one of those posts something important, somebody I follow will retweet them. So it's a great filtration of the crap they throw out there. Rosenthal's are the worst. I've never seen anyone just throw stuff out there and call it reporting as much as he does.

MLBtv is about to report a possible snag in Jimenez deal after break. WTF!

Matt McBride's minor injury. But they have to keep you watching through the commercials, so they tease it big. Like local news: WHY YOUR CHILDREN WILL DIE FROM DRIVING A POWERWHEEL! AFTER THE BREAK!

Matt McBride has an injured eye.

No big deal.... if Jimenez passes his physical, McBride is easily replaceable in the deal.

Or we tell COL, f you, you're taking McBride for starting Jimenez last night.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:30 pm

LOL. Pathetic tease by MLBtv. Glad you guys were aware that it was nothing.

Ludwick down to Pirates and Indians.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:31 pm

SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman
ludwick will go to cleveland or pittsburgh. should have a decision soon. #padres

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:31 pm

Lost in all the deadline madness is Carmona is once against pitching well.

by **Adverb Harry** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:31 pm

Buster Olney says the physical was good, and the deal is done. So, at least they're satisfied with his health. That's reassuring...I just hope they were very diligent!

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:33 pm

Verlander's being a bitch.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:33 pm

He is, but I would not have let him come out to start the lineup the 4th time through. We have a good bullpen. This isn't like we have Toronto's pen.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:34 pm

Should be fun watching Ubaldo pitch in Fenway on Wednesday.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:34 pm

Fucking stupid by Acta. You got 7 good innings. That's enough.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:34 pm

Don't give up any runs here!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:34 pm

Eric Wedge syndrome. Always 1 batter too late.

Your concern has been validated. May as well let Fausto try to get out of it now.

And this season from Melky Cabrera is stunning. He was the worst player in baseball last season. Except for maybe Yunievsky Betancourt.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:36 pm

Carmona folds here. Guarantee.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:37 pm

This is completely on Acta. He knows we can't score. This is atrocious managing.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:39 pm

ABout to be 2.5 GB and headed to Fenway. Ouch.
