Someone's been hitting up that blue magic a little too much.

What's even better is that his last name, "Verga" is Central American slang for dick.

Seriously, what kinds of expectations did you guys have going into this season? This team was a

No, at this point you do not trade Hermida. The opportunity cost of holding onto him is not greater than his value in the trade market. He's making peanuts, he's young and still has tons of potential - keep him.

Trading for a premier rental won't accomplish much. This team's pitching is increasingly erratic in terms of performance and health. We should let this year play out, let our players (especially our pitchers) get over their injury bugs, and make a stern run next year. The bullpen has been solidified, our hitting has been strong (except for the Ks), but our starting pitching has been far from consistent. I believe we're still a few Beinfest-saavy moves away from a serious contender: a quality this team has not found this season.

Porcello is too good of a talent to pass up. Especially since we have few budding studs in the minors.

Bleh

Let's get Porcello!!

uh, he's right...the ad says that anyone trying to fight for 'family values' would be silenced if the democrats took over...in other words, that it's not a democratic priority

It was bought by Venezuela? Or did the United States do a poor job of buying it themselves?

I think the United States is the only country that shuns being multilingual

Sure, he violated a crime, but no crime merits this kind of punishment (indefinite lock-up, no due process, etc.) These kinds of punishments are handed out by scum like Fidel Castro of Kim Jong-Il. Under no circumstance in this country should we keep people in prison for five years based on suspicion of anything. People violate the "law" in Cuba all the time for speaking out against the government, and receive sentences like this. I really hope this is a sad and unfortunate anomaly, and not the kind of thing we should come to expect.

Screw Mike Lowell. He was paid $8+ million last year to play as terribly as Abercrombie. He was drowning this team with his incompetence, and was one of the major reasons why we failed last year (his drop off in RBI production and HRs was a huge reason).

if we make a trade, it's to make the team better; pierre doesn't make us better.

wow he's so off on Johnson it's sickening
