Baseball Chatter MLB Trade Deadline Edition 07/29

Since the MLB Trade Deadline is right around the corner, I thought we would do things a bit different around here. The hot stove tweets will be included in chatter until Monday, when you can find them by scrolling down past the Chatter section.

They are located right next to Lenny’s News Nuggets. He really takes time scouring the web for the best, most relevant articles and tweets to share with you guys.  You know he reads every local newspaper every single morning right? Gets up at 4am, we usually pass each other on the stairs with me going to bed and him waking up…

We would appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism you have. We want to know what you like and what you don’t, because we want to be improving all the time, we want to be unique, and most of all we want to give you reason to keep coming back!!

We sincerely thank all of our active members and look forward to fun times ahead!!

Ok, back to business…

AL Breakdown:

There are five American League teams within five games of each other for two wild card spots. The  should be buyers since they all have a decent shot at making it to the post season.

Buyers: Indians, Astros, Red Sox, Yankees, Royals, Mariners, Rangers, Twins and Rays

Buyers or Sellers (likely sellers): Angels, Blue Jays, Orioles

Sellers: White Sox, A’s, Tigers

NL Breakdown:

It is safe to say that the Dodgers are in unless they lose 75% of their games from here on out. If the playoffs started today, there would be three teams from the National League West.

Buyers: Nationals, Cubs, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Rockies

Buyers or Sellers: Cardinals, Brewers.

Sellers: Giants, Padres, Braves, Mets, Marlins, Pirates, Reds, Phillies

The Dodgers lead that division by 13 games. The Brewers are falling apart, losing seven of their last ten games. Both the Cardinals and the Brewers are in tough spots trying to decide if they should be buyers or sellers over the next couple days. Both won last night.

In case you didn’t notice, the damn Yankees have taken the lead in the American League east (they still have less wins than the Red Sox). It is great for Yankee Buzzards but Yankees Locker Room Videos aren’t as good when the Yanks are doing well. I have embedded the Yankees Locker Room playlist for your viewing pleasure. (Find out more about Vic Dibitetto  )

Click the little icon in the top left of the video to see the others in the playlist. There are 155 of them so i hope you didn’t have anything else planned today. They are ordered by date. Hilarious. Turn the volume down if you have small children around and don’t bother listening if you hate vulgar language.
