Oh gawdddd Lincecum. What a terrible idea.

Terribly awesome idea. His antics, along with FFs in the dugout.. it would be complete hilarity.

Me. I was actually saying the back 3 were similar. And I thought they were until Storen crashed this year.

lol weso.

The Nats are talented but they just cant handle the pressure. Everything was gold whenever everyone expected them to suck and they could sneak up on teams. Now with a ton of pressure, they havent been able to live up to expectations. Maybe it will be a different story next season bc the talent is clearly there, but I just dont see them being any better unless they really improve that bullpen.

I remember someone on here arguing with me that the Nats bullpen was better than the Braves. I said no way. We lost EOF and Venters and we are still clearly better.

I remember you and Heyward telling me the Braves were going to win the division last year as well.

Im surprised texas didnt go after dunn or pence. Dunn had no intetest from any teams at all. In that ball park he could have had an impact.

Why didnt seattle trade anyone? Strange.

Teams.dont want to trade spects at all.

 

[Heyward]

Span is making 3 million this year and is like 29, why would they trade him? Who would play center next year?

Storen.....what?

Sign Choo or Ellsbury this winter.

Why not?

I think I said Philly would but don't remember.

Sucks being wrong doesnt it?

and I just recall basically saying the Nats were lucky and got a ton of breaks. I think this year actually proves me right, so there..

Not really. Does it suck for you?

#SFGiants do nothing, as @Joelsherman1 reported. they are not alone. #tradedeadline

The nats seem to have no holes but arent playing well. Should have pitched strasburg last year

 

[Dunit24]

Not really. Does it suck for you?

Nope, not at all. Last yr was last yr. Nationals glory days.

Braves are clearly better.

 

[SidSlid92]

With a 10 game lead, not the urgency to make a move, but sure would have liked to add a RP.

 

[Heyward]

Every team has holes.

But they don't really need to do much.

 

[weso1]

Braves still should have an opportunity to get another reliever and a bench player in August. I wish we could have gotten an impact starter, but I wasn't expecting it. Lee costs too much and that pretty much just left Peavy as the only option.

Any bets that we will hear Fredi and/or Wren say something like, "Well, we are getting Schafer and BJ Upton back, and eventually getting Paul(Maholm) back, so we are virtually getting 3 guys via trade without giving up anything, and it will improve our ballclub."

Twenty bucks...anyone?

He's certainly learned from Bobby Cox.

 

[chipchildress]

I'm thrilled the Braves didn't give away their future for a guy that would marginally improve the team at best this year. Maybe Frank is learning.
