| I just figured out that for the first time in a LONG time, I won't mind whoever wins the World Series.
- The A's are hard to hate and my dad was a fan back in the glory days. Plus they wear GREEN. - The Tigers beat the Yankees. Enough said. - The Mets really should stick it to the Yankee fans because this might be their only chance for a while. Never know. - The Cards have been in the playoffs 6 out of the past 7 seasons and the one time they made it all the way, they got stopped dead in their tracks by the Sox. They're due. So... may the best team win.  Seriously, I can't hate any of these four. |

| As a Red Sox fan, I'm extending my condolences to the Yankees and the family of Cory Lidle. The pitcher, traded to New York in the Bobby Abreu deal, reportedly died after a plane crashed into a condo in Manhattan. Lidle was in the process of getting his pilots license. At least four people are dead, and Lidle is suspected to be one of them. | |||

Mayor Bloomberg has stated that only 2 are dead now, Lidle and his instructor (even though they won't say it's Lidle until family are contacted). Surprising, a crash like that would usually have caused a lot more damage to human life and to the building as well in my opinion. It's actually a lot of luck that only those two died (although it's interesting to wonder why Lidle was flying around Manhattan  ). |

| I keep hearing 4 people dead but you probably won't know for sure for a while. Depends if anyone was in the apartments that were hit, because that could knock the death toll up.
I'd assume they would do a moment of silence in New York tonight even though it's the Mets, no? |

| Not tonight, they've been rained out. I'd imagine at Game 2 of the ALCS they might, especially the NLCS.
I'd also heard four all over the place, but I think they just said it was two in the ESPN article (quoting Bloomberg). |

| I guess the final toll was only 2 dead, Lidle and the instructor. Apparently the reason more lives weren't lost is that the woman in the apartment that was struck was in another room at the time. Additionally, it was a small plane Lidle was flying in; the actual destructive capacity of such a plane is relatively limited (I recall some copycat attack in Miami sometime over the last five years using such a plane; a witness said there was a small "pop" and that was pretty much it).
Even thinking about it now, though, it's bizarre that it happened at all. |

| St. Louis Cardinals, World Series Champions. Who would've thought it was possible at the beginning of this postseason? Jeff Weaver, of all pitchers, dominated the Tigers for 8 innings. Odd series, to say the least, and we need the Red Sox/Yankees back next year in the ALCS. | |||

| So Holiday Inn is sponsoring something called the Look Again Award, ostensibly rewarding a player who quietly goes about their business, helping their team win without much recognition.
The current runaway leader for either league? Cast a vote and you'll see that it's Mr. Overlooked himself, David Eckstein. Wait, what's that you say? Eckstein has had article after article praising his heart, his determination, despite his lack of size? Oh, what else is that? He's the goddamn Oh. Oh. OOOOOOOH. I hate people sometimes. |

| So we've got a trade on our hands. One I don't get, but... oookay.
To SD: minor-league 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff, P Andrew Brown To CLE: 2B Josh Barfield I guess the idea is to make room for Marcus Giles in San Diego. Uhm... 'kay. And the Pads hired Bud Black away from the The Angels Angels of Santa Ana-Home, replacing Bruce Bochy. Suck it
As for the new thread title, people are a-postin'. Obviously, the big name is Daisuke Matsuzaka, expected to fetch up to $30 million in posting fees alone (reminder: this is just for the right to sign him to a contract... probably not unlike transfer fees in soccer, yes?). Everybody wants him. So I've sent out my spies, and even though they don't announce it until tomorrow at the earliest, looks like the winners could be the New Y--wait, what? The Diamondbacks? The ones who're based in Arizona? Noooooooo. Really? For reals? (Editor's note: This might not be news if it turns out it's just referring to the Diamondbacks bidding on him, not winning him.) Also, the Pads appear to be the favorites (or at least the logical winner) for Akinori Iwamura, a 3B who's being posted. Didn't they just get a 3B, you ask? Well, Iwamura can play SS, 2B, and CF if need be, so if they really want to hold on Linebrink (that's the rumors on the Internets, that San Diego would send him to tha ATL for Giles). They're also chasing Kei Igawa, a pitcher who went 20-3 with a 2.80 ERA in 2003. Millwood much? |

Soriano to a Windy City team. (Hint: It's not the White Sox)

Originally posted by Luigi-SanNow if Soriano could pitch, the Cubs would be in business. But... he can't. Anyhow, chances of Man-Ram being traded to the rumored Giants? Very small, as he has all the leverage with a no-trade clause. Either way, it's stupid to trade a guy who pretty much set up David Ortiz to have back to back MVP seasons. Ortiz needs the lineup protection from one of the best pure hitters in baseball to be successful. |

| Well, now the Cubs ARE in business, signing Ted Lilly, and reportedly inking a deal with Jason Marquis. And the LA Dodgers are proud to welcome Jason Schmidt and Luis Gonzalez. And Andy Pettitle is a Yankee again.

| Surprising, and relieving as a Sawx fan. Funny, 'cuz ol' Skip Bayless was predicting that Boras was just taking it down to the wire to try and suck a few more pennies out of Theo, and it looks like he was right about the last minute part (reported 6 year, 50 million dollar deal?). | |||

Anyway, if he can be as successful here as he was with Seibu, they'll be in the playoffs for years... with sexy results. |
