You'll probably have to ask him nicely.

Angels signed Fuentes or whatever.

17.5 million for him is a bargain.  And now there's reports that Derek Lowe is going to the Mutts for 3/36.  The fargin Phillies better jump on that shtein if that's the case.  Hard.

Derosa was shipped to the Indians for 3 okay pitching prospects

The Phillies are done but Lowe for 3 years $36 is a bargain

Yes and yes.  At 12/per, they'd at least better give a competitive offer.  They probably won't, though.

The Pirates are at Rookie of the Year-level desperation right now, so the fact that the Pirates signed two Indian javelin throwers who have never played baseball before is not really surprising. Expect many Eddie Gaedel-style publicity stunts out of the club that struggles to get people to show up to the best ballpark in the majors.

The fact that the term "spearchuckers" is still acceptable in a newspaper headline in England is surprising.

they have been signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the five-time World Series Champions.

lol, is that what the Indians were told about the team?

Sources: Rays, Burrell agree to contract
Pat Burrell is leaving the World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies for the runner-up Tampa Bay Rays.

Burrell has agreed in principle to a two-year, $16 million contract with the Rays, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Monday. The deal is pending a physical.

In Tampa Bay, the left fielder would DH. Burrell batted .250 with 33 homers with the Phillies last season.

Burrell's signing with the Rays increases the likelihood that the Oakland Athletics will be the front-runners to sign Jason Giambi.

Maryland believes!

[BigEd76]

looks like the Red Sox are about to sign John Smoltz and Rocco Baldelli

I guess not being an icehole is not a requirement.

Bunch of self-righteous icehole media scumbags.
