This is getting pretty tired.

Just like Kershaw's arm in the postseason.

It's better when you sit on the sidelines, watch and pretend to be an neutral party.

Nah, it's not really that entertaining.

yea, you make it less entertaining.

like i said…it's for the best if you sit on the sidelines.

This is a losing battle, friend.

So the Pirates had the winning bid for Kang. Was hoping the Angels were in on him for 2nd base.

I guess I would be fine with bringing Harang back.

What was the winning bid?

I would have guessed a lot of teams before the Pirates.

I can't see a scenario where the Padres don't trade Myers.

to the Cubs for an SS?

Post #633 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Dec 24, 2014 1:46 am

Throw him at first base and trade Alonso.

Somebody said Myers will play CF.

Kuroda is going back to Japan to close out his career. Can't blame the guy for wanting to ride into the sunset on home soil.

TheKingofSting · Post #636 » by **TheKingofSting** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 3:48 am

He could have been the Braves fifth starter.

congrats to Hiroki Kuroda and his classy move to finish his career wearing #15 jersey of the Hiroshima Carps. the Hiroshima fan base who suffered forever can use this great news.

Kudos to Kuroda, walking away from a great deal of money Yanks offered him to keep his promise to come back home while he still has something left in the tank. frankly, even as a dodger fan who wanted him back in blue, this move is the right move to make for him. I will cheer him on as i pirate the NPB annually, but now i have a reason to follow the Carps next year. it is gonna be a fun season for NPB as the Champs playing in Fukuoka dome are bringing in the fence for more HRs to add to their #1 offense, the Hanshin Tigers and their killer bullpen, and now the Carps and Kuroda's farewell tour to watch for the 2015.

two thumbs up from me, Hiroki. and say hello to Hideo Nomo's son Takahiro who just became the official translator for the Nippon Ham Fighters to work with their American players. Otani can surely use some English lesson as he is destined for great future in MLB.

Starlin Castro's house raided, Castro detained.

They say he volunteered to talk to the police but I bet there is more to the story.
