WTF. That GIF of the radar has been updating itself. :/

I was going to say, when did Kentucky get renamed?
Yeah, I figured it'd just loop what it was showing when I posted it, but nope. :lol:

it's been constantly updating throughout the day. :shrug:

now post the northeast map so whenever I'm curious about if I'm getting rain I can just check this website instead of having to open up the goddamn website and typing in my goddamn zip code and then waiting for it to load and inevitably typing my zip code wrong a couple times and then it just brings me to a bare version of the website like it's SO CONFUSED because I messed up on typing in the zip code. like REALLY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE???? YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT????? and then I realize there's no rain at all and the forecast says 'sunny all day' and I feel like a big fool!!! hahHAHAHA!@

You should just put it in your sig Mac. :lol:

Woah, just woke up to that crazy Peavy trade.

Looks like the Phillies are keeping Lee, for the time being. Our only guy we can trade now is Michael Young, it seems. Ugh.

Not very happy about us getting rid of Grant Greem for Callaspo.

I'm glad the Red Sox don't have Iglesias now, hope peavy bolts on f/a when he can though.

What's up with Iglesias? I need a primer on him from a Red Sox fan's perspective...

Also, Red Sox fans, have fun with Brayan Villareal. He's like most Tigers relievers - huge fastball, control problems, and not a lot of breaking pitches.

And it's sad to see "Mini-Miggy" Avisail Garcia go to Chicago, but he has had a bit of trouble with pitch recognition at the plate lately, and hopefully he does well with the White Sox. Except against Detroit.

We traded Mini Cabrera?

philliesfan134 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:19 am

by all accounts, dish, he's a glove-first guy who's hot right now hitting-wise but his game will never be about his batting. he'll probably cool off soon.

That trade makes absolutely no sense. The A's now have no one but Sogard at 2nd, and they have to find a way to get Donaldson and Callaspo in the lineup as well.

Also, the Angels have no third basemen, and Kendrick and Aybar already at 2B and SS...

got tickets for August 22nd again. No Hunter Pence bobblehead night this time.

My fantasy team sucks... so bad.

I was just in fourth place a few days ago, with 60 points. Now I'm at 48.5. D:

He has a great glove, but absolutely no bat. Pretty much the opposite of most of your infield.

I'm glad we made this trade. Iglesias has no long-term place in Boston. Might as well sell high on him while we can.

Yeah, but Jake Peavy is only a two-month rental.

SkittleMonster · **Posted:** Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:15 pm

No, he's not... He's signed for next season too.

Power Pros 27 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:25 pm

It won't matter. Let's face it: Peavy has not been the Peavy who dominated my Rockies when he was with the Padres. He has been terrible for the White Sox except for last year. He's older, he doesn't have the same stuff he used to, doesn't pitch at the cavernous Petco Park anymore, and will just be one more guy that will lead an inevitable Red Sox collapse in the postseason.
