RANGERS > YANKEES

god damn, the Rangers still look like they're gonna sweep the Yanks...


EDIT - Sucks to be a Yankees fan, you lose Joba Chamberlain AND Pudge in the same series :rofl:

 

[gamebreaker]

^ lmfao

I can't wait for them to fall apart, and did you know the Rangers are the best scoring team in the MLB?? I think they should win the division over the Angels this year...

 

[Travis40]

Yeah, sucks the Angels are 11 up on the Rangers and just keep winning

Rangers are gonna win the Wild Card though if they can sweep the Yanks and play a good series against the Sox coming up soon...then there's the Twins...shouldn't be much of a problem.

No, it's not in the .100's

How bout before you go telling someone you PWNED them, you get your facts straight you cocksucker.

 

[Enigma22]

hes batting .214 so ya thats terrible but its not in the .100s lol

 

[MikeRaw]

Yay :clap:
Jays won tonight, and unless something I'm not aware of happened, they are now 6 games out of the wildcard.
IDK if they will make it, but they are sure giving it a nice run... Tommorow night, Jays/Indians...

 

[gamebreaker]

^ 7 games out now lol

But I can't believe we lost to the Mariners last night...it was embarassing...
I think its because we went from Tampa to Seattle in 1 day

 

[PeepShow]

Mark "The Great" Buehrle

Solid start against the FAKE Sox and another win for the GOOD GUYS.

 

[MikeRaw]

5-3 Angels in the fourth. Guerrero and Teixeira is a great combo.

 

[PeepShow]

How many teams do you like? I see you talking about the Yankees sometimes, the Angels others, and you have a Blue Jays DP on MSN.

 

[MikeRaw]

^As I said in the teams thread... The Jays are my hometown team, so I've beem watching them for a long time...

I'm not a Yankees fan at all (as you can see, since the Angels are playing the Yankees tonight)... I was discussing them, the other day, but not as a fan, just as an observer, and discussing what I think they will end up doing.
Also, I liked pissing off Steve by hoping for them to beat the Redsox (I thought he liked them:?..

WOOT!!!! On the late notice finally my Yankees beat Travis' Rangers 3-0. And oh snap Moose Mussina actually struck out Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler looked a hot mess at the plate. I told everyone on IWF that the Yanks are taking over the 2nd half. I can't wait til we get back Phil Hughes and Carl Pavano from their rehab minor league stints now that we lost Joba until early September.

lmao...you split a series with the Rangers and you're talking about taking over the second half. A Rod was shit in that series, he went 0-14...he got on base once or twice because of a HBP. Joba is hurt, Pudge is day to day...we lost our outfielder for 2 weeks because of that collision at home.

D-backs get Dunn from Reds for three prospects

The Arizona Diamondbacks added a big bat Monday in their attempt to hold off the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West race.

Arizona acquired Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Dunn, who is tied for the major league lead with 32 home runs, for three prospects.

The trade was first reported by KTAR Radio in Phoenix.

In exchange for Dunn, Cincinnati will receive minor league pitcher Dallas Buck and two other players to be named later.

Buck got a call from D-backs farm director A.J. Hinch, telling him he had been traded for Dunn. Buck, who was traveling with the Single-A Visalia Oaks, was already on the bus to San Jose, Calif., when Hinch called him. He had to tell teammates of the trade en route.

"It was kind of funny," Buck said, "because I was rumored to be in a deal for [Mark] Teixeira, so when I just told them they all thought I was messing with them."

Buck was drafted by Arizona in the third round of the 2006 draft. Once a top-notch prospect, Buck's draft status fell after an elbow injury revealed on the eve of the '06 draft bumped him out of a likely first-round slot. He had Tommy John surgery last summer and had begun pitching in Single-A this summer.

Dunn is tied with the Phillies' Ryan Howard for the NL lead with his 32 homers. The White Sox's Carlos Quentin also has 32 home runs.

The Diamondbacks lead the Dodgers by 1½ games in the NL West standings.

Information from ESPN.com's Amy K. Nelson was used in this report.

dunn is ok but his average is terrible... all he can do is hit homeruns and strike out...
