Just a reminder to Toronto that he only has a short term lease on the East title.

Stephen Strasburg (elbow) was dominant in his final rehab outing for Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday, allowing just one hit in six scoreless innings of work.

Designated hitter Jesus Montero hit his first two major league homers as the Yankees held on to beat the Orioles 11-10 on Monday.

Rookie phenom Mike Trout hit two home runs and collected five RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Mariners.

I've won nothing yet. Jason Kubel is still out there somewhere and is just itching to give me nightmares again.

NOTE: Nothing of a personal nature against Pitts. I'm sure he's a sweetheart and has done much for this league.

Of course you should mouth-off, Toronto is only renting 1st place. As long as managers trade you the absolute elite of players you'll win. Been that way since we began.
A list you ask....
C.Utley
Ar.Ramirez
J.Upton
Han.Ramirez
R.Braun
traded for Lincecum then traded for haren
D.Haren
CC.Sabathia
B.League(maybe not elite but a cheap CL for another year)
A-Rod
J.Danks
Jesus Montero
Devin Mesoraco
S.Strasburg

Anyone who has had trade dealings with this guy knows he always touts his players while crapping on yours. Always asks for your best and when you counter for one of his.....sorry, not available. C'mon people REALIZE what he's doing. I've stopped even considering trading with him.
Check his trades...he always 'wins'. Your best for his 2nd tier.
If you want to trade with him, fine, but why dont you contact everyone else before you agree to a trade with him and see what you can get.

Pitt, you should stop gloating. Its poor sportsmanship and makes me angry enough to post this.
Sour grapes by me, tough crap.

EDIT: and dont forget he's awlays looking for R1 picks for 'free'

How's that H-Ram and Utley trade working out for me? That's $40m of suck.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

FWIW, I don't think I get the best of trades because I'm particularly devious. I think it's because I'm so damned good looking.

[Deleted]

how'd that 140 points work out last year?
lots of injuries this year and STILL thisclose to repeating.
not that devious but a good talker. heard that when you were born you talked the doctor out of slapping your ass.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

You got your stories wrong.

I didn't talk the doctor out of slapping it. I was so damned good looking the pretty nurses talked the doctors into letting them slap it.

[torontobluejays]

Close to repeating? Come on Chisox, he has a better chance to be in 5th place at seasons end than to be in 1st.

[Deleted]

perhaps now but he was close a while back.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

well, i wanted to prove that you can win without an infield. i guess i was wrong.

[torontobluejays]

You can say that with a straight face? You've done everything humanly possible, short of taking steroids (I think) to improve your infield. You went out and got A-Rod, A-Ram, Jeter, Mauer and McCann. That is far from sitting still and playing with a unproductive infield.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

you can total the number of games arod, aram, and jeter have played for me on 1 hand.

the vast majority of my starts at ss, 2b, and 3b came from keppinger, sizemore, and pedro alvarez.

[Deleted]

wow and just think...arod and aram come back next year! those werent rental players.

[torontobluejays]

I said you "tried" to improve your infield. You were trying to make it sound like you did nothing to improve your infield.

Blue Jay you just proved my point. S-L-I-C-K talkin', bend it around, point it another direction...
