What's up with Cabrera Bowl

It should have been 11-11 going into last night's game. Shouldn't it be 12-11?

A "trade Roberts" snippet

I'm not sure who the CWS would part with to get Roberts, that is, if MacPhail wants strong youth in return. Roberts really is the best trading chip but I suspect getting good value for second baseman will be tough. MacPhail should be banging on doors, not waiting. I hope Angelos' fondness is not a hindrance. I thought the rationale for Beane's moves was interesting. I haven't paid attention to the A's system, so I have to figure they think they have the pitching coming up.

Another O's should trade Roberts quip

Update Cabrera Bowl: 11-9

4.1 IP is not a quality start. Not to mention 6 H and 6 BB.

Throwback Uni nit

One nit on the throwback unis. The '79 O's did not have double black stripes on the sleeves. No O's team ever did. It looked a bit excessive, and you know it was some designer adding a bit of "flair". It was unnecessary.

Rays in First

Rays just won. Take over 1st place. First time in franchise history at 7 games over .500. Did I hear that right?

Prospectus Today - Rays

Interesting article on how drastic a turn around pace the Rays are on. It's a stretch to think they'll lop off 290 runs from last year, but they are going to make some noise. We just saw how far the O's have to go... Paraphrasing a Simpsons quote: See all that talent over there, Pete? That's why your teams never worked.
