CC to Have 1-Hitter Rolled Back to No-No?

CC Continues to Drive Dagger Deep into Indian Faithful, Improves to 9-0 for the Brew Crew.

One 'Hit' Too Many?

CC Sabathia improved to 9-0 with the Brewers on Sunday. But was his one-hitter even better? Milwaukee and its manager Ned Yost think so. You make the call on Sabathia's misplayed ground ball that was ruled a single.

Francisco, He's Baaaack!

MINNEAPOLIS -- Francisco Liriano finally got what he wanted. No more Triple-A hitters for him. "The Franchise" is back in Minnesota's starting rotation.

The Twins waited until a day after the trade deadline to make their big move, promoting Liriano from Rochester on Friday and cutting ties with right-hander Livan Hernandez and outfielder Craig Monroe.

"It's what I was waiting for," said Liriano, who will start Sunday's series finale against Cleveland. "I'm so happy to be here."

Tribe Time- an Excerpt from the Greatest Email I have ever received


I am on the horn tonight with Mark Shapiro giving a little consultation for some possible trades to get my wahoos back in the mix.

Can’t have the best starting pitching in the AL and the worst BA. That will get you .500 ball and totally not acceptable.

So, I have some things in the mix.

Mark is a Jew and likes to stockpile talent at AA and AAA. But as I told him, this is baseball baby—not alcoholics anonymous, or the American Automotive Association.

He appreciated the clarification. And we now have a couple of deals in the works for a new right handed corner outfield power bat. Ironically, it looks like we can work out a trade for a late-model Audi, a vat of Tequila (and a groundskeeper to be named later)

Wahoo’s soon to be on the rise after my dealio-diggitings.
