Wait, what happened??

Rockies have a bunch of players that aren't very useful to them long term that they should be trading right away. Of course, Rockies' management being what it is, it seems like the odds are 50/50 that they do anything. And if they do something, it will likely be trading Boone Logan. I have no idea what they think they're doing. It will take a miracle to get the Rockies into the playoff picture, much less into the playoffs. Ideally, you deal Blackmon, De La Rosa, Hundley, and Logan for a couple of decent prospects, and explore the market for CarGo. But none of that seems to be happening. Ugh.

Cubs allegedly looking at dickerson

I meant Blackmon. I always got those 2 mixed up
My personal Charlie Blackmon story:
They were playing the Cubs when I was there and some guy started shouting at him to shave his beard.
I, 3 beers deep by the 1st inning, turn around and tell the guy to respect the craft.
I then went back to gambling with the people beside me.

I had CF tickets back in 2010 or so. I was surprised at the number of people who heckle players. Why you gotta call Garrett Anderson old and tell him to go back to 2003, bro?

I was also surprised at the number of players that react. Matt Kemp really took offense to dude heckling his boy Garrett and was going back and forth with clown fan.

Left field in wrigley can get pretty bad
Most of them probably hate being there so much they pitch shitty to get traded somewhere else or cut and signed somewhere else.
I had partial season seats in the first row of RF for a couple seasons. People are crazy. A lot of players do acknowledge. Its surprising. Griffey and Francouer were probably the best.

I just meant in general. That happened at Nats park

Oh, I thought CF = Coors Field.
When Vernon Wells was with the Yankees, he trolled Jays fans really well

I don't follow the Padres really, but I think they went ALL IN randomly a couple years ago, gave up 6 months later and started selling pieces and still are. @TonyGin&Juice at the helm?
Last year they went all in, started OK, then did the patented May/June tank and got boat-raced, despite playing halfway decent for stretches. This year they started tanking in the top of the first on Opening Day, got down a bunch, and that was that...
I think Preller thinks he's smarter than he is.

Sucking off Lawn Guy Land hobos.
They made some moves that didn't really work out at the major league level but they've developed a pretty good farm system, even with Trick Turner trying to play CF in DC. Kemp was the first Padre to hit for the cycle (I almost bought one of those shirts at Petco) but otherwise he's done dick during his time with them. They'll DFA the sack of shit (Olivera) the Barves sent and just keep waiting to finish on MOUNT 500 with a bunch of international lottery tickets AJ managed to sign down on the farm.
Preller actually has the talent and brains to be a really good GM but the moves over the past two years have been a real head scratcher. Stressburg is locked down with the Nats so clearing salary to sign him makes no sense. The Tier One FAs this offseason aren't going to sign with them and they've got no one to extend so I'm not really sure what they're doing by shedding some salary. I'm just glad they've still got Ted "My boys" Leitner calling games on the radio and they shipped that bum Andrew Cashner out of town (finally).

Chatwood's home-road splits are really crazy. I have no idea what to make of him, really.
I mean, I don't think they're terrible, but I still doubt they're a playoff contender. I still want them selling. Although I guess CarGo should be off the table at this point.

They kinda got 'screwed' by the deadline and their schedule. They'll probably be able to tell where the team is heading by the end of next week. I suppose CarGo could always pass through trade waivers with his contract. There's some solid high minors talent like Hoffman so either way they might be okay for the future
Nah. Grant is good. I like him and the new guy. Ted is bad.
No. It saves them $20m
I like the moves AJ has made. I liked them going for it, but that didn't really work out. Maybe he gave up on it too quick, but injuries to Cashner and Ross I think made him punt. They moved a lot of pieces and might be in better shape now than they were two years ago.

I'm loving the Nats trade for Melancon in this crazy reliever market.
