Not that I'm one of those dweebs who are whining about that. What I really find funny is that apparently Fox made sure they DIDN'T show where the ball ended up after he threw it. I guess there was a little miscommunication between Fox News and Fox Sports

He was also wearing his ChiSox jacket, which I can respect. If I was throwing out a first pitch anywhere (especially Yankee Stadium) I'd be wearing my Boston hat and jersey.

Me too, only with the O's. There are too many politicians who would have walked out there at best in full Cardinals gear or at worst without anything at all.

Pedro signs with the Phils. I don't think he'll be much of a difference maker, but its not like its a risky investment either.

I love the move. He's cheap, short-term, and if he can come back and provide anything for the stretch run it would be great. Hell, you could put him the bullpen for the playoffs if you have to and I bet he would shine for one last run.
Just has to get as healthy as he can, which really isn't very healthy at this point.

Where do you think Halladay will end up? Even though the Sox rotation is jammed I'd like to see him here. If I were Theo, I'd offer Brad Penny, Nick Green and another lower level prospect. Then I'd move Smoltz to the pen after this Clay Buchholz callup that I've been waiting all season for. Here's saying he flirts with a shutout tomorrow.

Epstein wouldn't get past "Brad Pen..." before the click on the line. The Jays are going to want a fortune, and doubly-so from the Red Sox or Yankees. The discussion wouldn't start without Buchholz involved.
Everyone seems to think St. Louis or Philadelphia, and those probably are the two best places for him.
