Yanks made some good pickups in Pineda and Kuroda. Can never have too much pitching.
Woah. I was gone all weekend and somehow just heard about the Pineda/Montero trade. That's huge for NYY. I almost wonder if there's something up with Pineda's health that Seattle knows about. I mean I know they desperately need offense, but wow.
I'm kind of surprised Theo hasn't been more visible these last couple months. Just some middle relief as far as I know. I'm sure he had a lot to do with the huge Pujols contract though.
The Cubs are my National team. I'd love to see some big moves in the next few months.
Boycotting baseball this season. Since (like an asshole) I renewed my tickets before the '11 season ended, I'm stuck with about 30 games worth of tickets that I couldn't give away to a homeless guy if I taped them to a forty. So I'm going to at least get use out of them.
I think I'll just go and tailgate with my usual crew and not enter the stadium once. Maybe make a youtube video about all the things we did instead of watching those clowns in Queens. Until the Wilpons sell, I'm out.

And by the way, I agree that this deal could kill the Tigers in its latter years, especially if his health starts failing. This isn't the NFL. They're on the hook for every year and ever dollar.
^^^ this is very sad news, it seems like the entire city of Montreal is in mourning. It sounds like Youppi (the Expos old mascot and now the Canadiens mascot) will be wearing #8 and the next Habs game which is a nice gesture.

Yeah I saw that too. My Dad's really bummed out. A lot of old Mets fans always adored Carter because he was a throwback type of player in an era marred by drugs and outrageous behavior. And of course he's associated with the single greatest moment in the team's entire history (not saying a ton, but still). Sucks, for a while it seemed like he might actually beat the cancer.
I guess it was time for catchers to report. I'm not a NL fan but Carter was always classy and I think he was one of those guys that was well-respected by teammates and opponents alike. Damn good catcher too.

The Bad Guys Won is a fascinating read if you like sports novels. It details every member of the '86 Mets and how they fit in with each other. I would peg Carter as the father-figure on that team. But a cool father figure. He'd slam back a few tall boys with the team after a game once in a while, but he was about winning. If the team won, he didn't care what they did, but when they let outside distractions impact the team and/or locker room, he put his foot down. That Mets team isn't even a playoff team without him, much less known for probably the greatest comeback in WS history.
<--phils season ticket holder. will be heavily involved in this thread.
unless laynce nix really is our left fielder opening day, then i will be heavily involved in the beer thread.
Hi. I'm a Mets fan. Quit cryin'.
Right now the up-the-middle defense on opening day in Citi Field will be: Josh Thole (catcher), Ruben Tejada (SS), Daniel Murphy (2B), Andres Torres (CF).
You'll enjoy this thread, I'm set to hate on my own team more than you or the entire city of Philadelphia ever could. Enjoy the spectacle.
