Are you sarcastically bowing the pitcher or the stat?

Nah, I am for real. I am a big Greinke fan.

cool. I don't see how anyone can think he's overrated. bdwolfpack said he isn't a fan, I don't know if he thinks he's overrated though. I think he just doesn't want a rental.

Melvin said they're not discussing extension. Greinke says they are, and as much as I'd love to see him as a Brewer for 5 more years, they need more than Greinke.

I kind of want him to come to Atlanta, so I could watch him pitch.

I still do not understand how there is such a discrepancy between his home and road splits. Maybe he just paints the corner perfectly and only gets the calls at home.

I can't explain it either. His road stats are atrocious. It's not like he gives up the long ball more on the road are anything, they just hit him all day.

According to the Braves announcers, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports has reported that the Pirates have acquired Wandy Rodriguez from the Astros.

Gotta think if they are gonna make a move like that, they will surely try to land some bats. Their offense is god awful outside of mccutchen and walker.

Wtf are you talking about?

My point was that since they are making this move, they obviously aren't done, and are going for it. In order to go for it, they need bats too.

After blowing a 6-3 lead last night in the 9th, Brewers bullpen still had some unfinished business to take care of. Blows a 6-1 lead in the 8th.

DFA the whole fricking pen Melvin. Trade Greinke for all middle relief.

I feel you man. The Astros pen is so awful that I wouldn't trust them in a 19-1 game.

Can anybody update me on the trade(s) tonight and rumors?

I've been at work.

I see the Pirates got Wandy for Grossman, Owens, and Cain. I like it especially with Astros picking up a big chunk of that salary.

We (the Pirates) need another bat. Presley is a fourth OFer and is killing us in the leadoff spot. Garrett Jones is what he is. If we could get Victorino, Pence, Willingham, someone like that, that'd be perfect. Marte will be one part of the equation when he gets promoted, but we need one more bat in the OF.

We've got our arm. Now let's get the bat, Neal!
