And the Pale Hose are very, very desperate ... might actually sell the house ....
RT @InsideTheSox: We don’t have to win deals, KW said, we just have to get the guy we want, who fits here. #WhiteSox
It's been a good day so far in Natstown ...
I’ll be cheering for Capps to get the Twins as far as the Yankees in the playoffs – he’s really impressed me with the way he handled this year. And Gooz, love him or hate him, at times was the only high average hitter in our lineup (which says more about our lineup than it does about Gooz).
Rizzo has really impressed me with both of these moves – the two prospects for Gooz may be a bucket of baseballs, but this organization could use some institutional depth – and the catcher for Capps is an excellent leveraging of a one year contract. Let’s close the day by shutting up some Phans :-)
Strasmus is a time of miracles, so be of good cheer.
(Miss Iowa = Strasmus-by-proxy, sort of)

HAH... I agree with you.
I wonder if he’ll make it out of the first inning.. I’m not too excited to watch tonight b/c I hate seeing/hearing all those stinkin’ philly fans… but nothing would make me happier than if we beat them tonight and shut them up.
I've been trying to get our DC for an hour now.
Some sort of nonsense is happening on the Roosevelt bridge.

No reason to not start giving him some serious experience now. I mean, the nats are only 13.5 back from the wild card.
And score some runz!!

Friend of Dukes and Desmond #3
okay I was just joking..
playoffs are out of the question and you’re right, that’s the reason why we need to give him the job now. The experience he’ll get this year closing will serve him well next season.
Can't we just trade for Carlos Beltran, win every 2nd half game, and streak to the World Series?
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
Haha
Actually the Padres snapped him up on a minor league deal. Haha sad
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
i'm lol-ing that the reds once regarded willy mo as more promising than dunn
lolz
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
Sorry Phils fem ... errr fan Peralta may be better ...
He acts more like a shutdown closer. The problem is getting into games where you need a closer.

For the record, Jim Bunning most probably has advancing Alzheimer's or

They aren't going to trade Dunn
Heard this: The Nationals are frustrated in their attempts to get equal value for Adam Dunn, and conversely, rival teams are saying that the asking price for Dunn is enormous. This is why the Yankees turned away from the Dunn talks and snagged the player they perceive to be the second-best DH type on the market, Lance Berkman — figuring the Rays might have turned to Berkman if they had ultimately lost out on Dunn. It’s like a game of musical chairs.

Yuck
8:08pm: The Yankees are sending Mark Melancon and Jimmy Paredes to the Astros for Berkman, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (via Twitter).
Melancon had brief stints with the Yankees this year and last year, but most of his pro experience has come in the minor leagues. The right-hander has a 3.67 ERA in Triple A this year with 9.3 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9. The high walk rate is alarming, but the 25-year-old had never posted a walk rate higher than 2.3 BB/9 at any minor league stop before this year.
Apparently that’s the Astros return for Berkman……….. after kicking in $4 of the $7.5 million to pay him the rest of this year and buy him out next year.

Plus side for Houston
(The only plus, really) is that they flipped Gose for Brett Wallace yesterday. I would assume that Wallace has an excellent shot of being called up tomorrow.

Bowden today said he knew Berkman was gone when they got Wallace...

He's not exactly having a banner year
And at 34 and coming off of an injury, he’s not exactly at the point in his career where he should be expected to turn it around completely. That said, his .372 OBP is nothing to sneeze at (average is down, walks are up, slugging is down considerably)
by bluelineswinger on Jul 30, 2010 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions
I think anyone paying attention knew that Berkman was gone when they got Wallace
I just don’t think anyone thought that they’d do this poorly for Berkman. The rumor is that he rejected a trade to the White Sox earlier in the day….. in the same article, he was quoted as saying (about his no trade clause):
“My ideal situation is to win a title here. If this organization feels those aims are better accomplished by trying to strip down this roster and reload with younger guys, I don’t want to stand in the way of that.”
I don’t think their return from the White Sox would have been stellar or anything, but they could have used a guy like Morel or even Flowers. I think they would have gotten one of them.

Bigger bat for the DH (Berkman)… Smaller one for the bench (Kearns). They’ll still be on the lookout for a bullpen arm.

Honestly, I'm just hoping he doesn't get traded to the White Sox
Partially because I know Jackson will be part of the return if that’s the case (and I’d rather have seen the Nats get Hudson than Jackson)… Partially because I really don’t like the White Sox very much, and I’d like to be able to cheer for Dunn to win the World Series wherever he goes.
When I first went nuts with the post about whether they should sell or not, I said the Rays were by far the best fit, and that’s where I see him going. I still stand by that now, though I thought for a long time he was headed to the south side of Chicago.

And I could DEFINITELY root for the Rays to win it all
