RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 Waiver rules or no waivers...the MLB Trade Deadline is the most ridiculous thing in sports.http://tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=289512More big names move AFTER the 'deadline' than at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 Maybe, but there were also deals that were blocked by other teams.Basically, MLB gives teams four months to make a trade without risk of anyone stopping it (outside of MLB for the "interests of the game" or players who have no-trade clauses), or a fifth month where they take the chance that other teams can block the deal. I think what happens is that fifth month convinces teams they're no longer a contender, so they start to trade off parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9 Unit 1 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 ye i remember the commentators talking about it a few times during the games, i dunno how i feel if they move to al central but i'll guess we'll see, first thing to do is to fire JP though lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mik3 1 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 I actually wanted Boston to win so I didn't care but, "ball four" to Nick Green last night was hilariously bad. Umpiring as a whole has been terrible the last five years or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 You're right. I cringed when I saw him take the pitch, because it was a strike to the eye, let alone K-Zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mik3 1 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 I saw numerous times this year where a situation begged for Cito to defend his players or get himself thrown out of the game, he'd just sit on his hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubber27 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 But after Riccarddi got turfed, the speculating has been that JP was actually the one who leaked that.Wouldn't surprise me either. They got rid of JP 3 years too late. I wish the Jays would've had the balls to can him after his "5 year plan" didn't unfold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mik3 1 Report post Posted December 15, 2009 So the Phillies, in essence, gave up most of their top ten prospects for Halladay/Aumont/Gillies. They'll also be paying Halladay at least 20mil a year for 3-5 seasons.IMO that's horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
