"It’s a sexy headline, a splashy story, your tax dollars hard at work. The "war on drugs" has been a spectacular waste of money, resources and time for decades now, and every once in a while there needs to be a parade of contraband or a flurry of activity to justify the salaries of all involved. But honestly, I can’t think of a much bigger waste of time than to come around to NFL and MLB team doctors hoping to find a pipeline for prescription drugs."

PADRES: Mujica gives up another costly home run in loss to Rockies
"I liked the matchup with him and Barmes," Black said. "I think the fastball has a tendency to leak back over the plate at times. His arm action when he gets through the fastball is great. Other times, he gets to the side of it and the ball sort of flattens out."

I love these guys who are like "Oh, no problem, let's just go get Cliff Lee."

And Websoulsurfer is crazy. Like Looney Tunes.
“Then trade a couple of decent, but not top prospects for [Cliff] Lee.” Yep, Hoyer will get right on that.

It seems like we'd have to give up a ransom to get Lee
but he’s like a Kevin Brown in this situation. If we really want a ringer to get us past the hump then I think he’s a smart move.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
This team just isn't built to contend yet.
Sure this year has been a pleasant surprise, but I wouldn’t bet money on them being able to do it again next year. Sure, Cliff Lee might help them win the division this year. But what about next year, when he’s gone? And the year after? Remember what this team was like after 1998.

That's why I said 'if we really want a ringer'
I mean if ownership and management really think they have a shot this year then he’s your best bet. I agree that we doing better than expect so it kind of puts you in a weird spot. Do you go with it or say this year was a fluke, hope we do well, but we’re focused on the future.
I think it’s important to remember we got Kevin Brown, but we gave up Derrek Lee. That’s the downside to these deadline trades.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
But that trade was before the season
So we got K.B. for the whole season. Not just a playoff stretch. I also agree with Zach that its not in our best interest to trade away the few top prospects we do have for someone who won’t be back next year. In order for us to contend for the next few years, we are going to need our prospects to come up and produce.

Whole season or deadline...
If you’re in first place you’re only looking forward.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
You're right.
I think they should say this is a fluke year, we hope to do well, but we’re focused on the future. I’m not ready to give up a prospect(s) of that caliber.

*I agree that we're doing better than expected...
failure to proof read.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
And I like how the SDNN article author summarily dismisses any pitcher except Lee.
Dude, Lee isn’t the only quality pitcher available. Sure he’s the best, but he’s also the most expensive and frankly, I’m not sure we’d be able to get him if we wanted to.
We don’t need a superstar in the rotation. We need a solid guy who can upgrade Correia. That’s it. I pointed out Kevin Millwood, though other options exist, like Ted Lilly (who Wonko assures me is good, so I’ll take his word on it).
Obviously I’m not an insider so I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that the front office will make a trade unless it’s a cheap low risk one like for a starting pitcher, or it’s one that will improve the team long term, which probably means trading away major league talent rather than acquiring it.

But don't we need someone who can help save innings for
Latos, Richards, and LeBlanc? I’d like to see them bring in two pitchers, 1 to upgrade Correia and one that can potentially be front of the rotation. As the season progresses, we could look at a 6 man rotation
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
I think that Wonko did a good job explaining why a 6 man rotation probably won't work.
Richard and LeBlanc will be fine. Latos you can be concerned about. Maybe they do need more than one guy depending on what they do with him, but they can deal with that later. One guy is all they need for now.

To be clear
I explained why baseball people won’t do it.
Not my opinion as to why we shouldn’t do it.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Lilly is good
Not great, but good.
I’ve ridden him the past two years in Fantasy baseball.
He has been better than a lot of the big name pitchers during this time. The cubs might not even want much for him, depending on what they plan to do.
Nice 'shoop job, USA Today

I like Craig's take from 619
I wonder who it was he chatted with at Petco last night.

"Our team has a lot of confidence in Edward."
I know Bud has to back him publicly – and because he keeps insisting on using him – but there is no way in hell anyone on the roster thinks anything other than “Oh s**t” when they see him trotting in.

I lucked into some pretty good seats last night
And when Mujica allowed the homerun, Yorvit got really pissed and started yelling and swearing at him. Mujica just stared at him with a blank look on his face. It was quite entertaining.

BudBot at his finest today.

That #Budbot is going to give be a coronary.
How can Hoyer stand for this?

Yet when Stairs returns
you know it will be Cunningham who goes down.
