"Turd Throw" and other stories from the rancid NLC.

I said there's nothing wrong with it he can't fix, I didn't say it was going to be easy to bring him in.

A pitching platoon for Butchie!

The Brewers already are platooning third basemen. Now with six starters for five spots, they are going to try a similar setup in the pitching ranks...

McClung gets the nod on the road, Bush at home...

Yost talked to both Bush and McClung about the decision and said it was met with "suspicion."

[Andy]

Holy shit this guy is dumb.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Gotta keep 'em fresh for when Sheets goes on the DL.

Met with "suspicion"? If Ned thinks it's a good idea then it should be supported 100%. And while he's at it he should recall Turd Throw to the team.

[Andre Dawson's Creek]

Brilliant.  I think he needs to take this a step further and have a "by batter" LHP/RHP platoon.

Randy Wolf-S-Padres
      
A source told MLB.com that the Astros will acquire Randy Wolf from the Padres for a minor league pitcher.
Fernando Nieve, Bud Norris and Brad James would seem to be possibilities. At least there's no pitcher in the Houston system the team can't afford to lose. Chris Young will be the eventual replacement for Wolf in San Diego's rotation, but the Padres may need someone else to make a spot start this week.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The whispers just won't go away. Halladay is apparently unhappy in Toronto and has let management know it, and management has apparently responded by doing some quiet surveying of teams (such as St. Louis and the Dodgers) that are far, far away from the AL East in an effort to see what it could get for the 2003 Cy Young Award winner. Apparently, the returns other teams are getting for top-talent pitchers such as C.C. Sabathia, Rich Harden and Erik Bedard has inspired the Blue Jays to at least find out what it could get for one of the best pitchers in the American League. It remains unlikely that they'd deal him, but you never know.

The pile that the Cubs gave up for Harden inspired the Blue Jays to try to see what they can get for Halladay? Hendry should have called J.P Ricciardi before Billy Bean(e).

[Dave B]

Colby Rasmus is out at least a month and the rest of the Cardinals' system sucks. No way can they get Halladay.

[The Paul Popovich Experience]

I <3 Rickie Weeks, keep playing him, Butchie :-)

(Lou, stop using Gas Can Howry, you mope)

[MidgetSellingWater]

[CubFaninHydePark]

Gagne trying to start some shit...  Throwing behind Jimmy Salami.

The next series with these pricks should be real fun...  Hell, I'm psyched to hear the rest of the game.
