Totally. Not only is he moving to the NL, the Dodgers play teams such as the Braves, Mets, Padres, White Sox, the Giants and the Phillies. A few contenders in there as well, but he should have some teams he'll get to beat up on in the next two months.

The Dodgers are gonna be really tough to beat.

Darvish to the Dodgers, apparently.

So many people said the A's wouldn't back down on their asking price. That was obviously false. Not the worst haul, though. #4, #8 and #12 prospects in a pretty good system. Dodgers get Tony Watson from Pirates. Cleveland gets Joe Smith from Blue Jays. D-Backs get David Hernandez from Angels. Nationals get Brandon Kintzler from Twins. Dodgers get Tony Cingrani from Reds. If you're a relief pitcher, prepare to get traded.

Wow, they also got Teoscar Hernandez. That's a pretty good haul for Liriano.

The return on relievers last year was also super inflated. Liriano to Astros, no word on who's coming back other than that it's probably an outfielder.

I don't think either of those guys are leaving New York. I imagine the A's asking price will drop before the deadline. I can't see Gray's stock getting any higher than it is now. The A's need to move him.

Fun baseball day. Beltre gets hit #3,000, Pudge, Bagwell & Raines go into the HOF, the Blue Jays put up 7 in the 9th and hit a grand slam to walk it off, and trade deadline rumours are swirling.

That's Thorgy, Bob & Acid Betty? There's some love for Acid Betty online but I was not a fan at all. Thorgy is great, as is Bob. Saw Thorgy live and she played the violin and it was totally bad ass. Love her. What was the piss-off you're referring to?

Who are your favourites from Season 8?

@C-MILrose, you are lovely.

At the time, Boston Rob was really one of the first people to insult the other players in confessionals. But in retrospect, it's super cringe-worthy to watch, especially some of his comments about John.

Would someone be willing to create a tv show logo for a new show for my diary - USPW Power Hour?

I am bummed T-Bird never got to come back. She was so excited to come back for Second Chances and didn't get voted back in.

John Heard, who played Kevin's dad Peter McAllister in Home Alone, has died. http://bnonews.com/news/index.php/news/id6132

Funny that this thread would pop up, but I swear we had one. Anyway, I like to have weird little projects. The one I'm on now is that I hadn't seen many of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Currently making my way through all of them - on Thor: The Dark World right now. It's been fun. I never really thought I was a superhero fan and thought they were a bit overrated, but the watch-through has been enjoyable. Heard really good things about Winter Soldier, which is up next. The first Captain America was my favourite so far, but I think it's because I love stuff set in the past.

Blue Jays have a good fan base. You'll often see a lot of Jays fans in opposing stadiums. On the other hand, there are always a toooooon of Red Sox fans at the Rogers Centre when they come to town.

To be fair, they had played in the NL until 2012.

Sounds like David Phelps is heading to the Mariners, strong rumours of Sonny Gray going to the Astros. I think my favourite thing about the Frazier trade is also that it's just a huge middle finger to the Red Sox.

Tito Polo is such a good name.

Yankees fans (looking at you Meacon), what did you give up for that haul? Seems like not that much for a good 3B and a good RP.

Too bad, you're Cloyd now and forever.

Lady Lyanna Mormont! She's the best. If she dies, I will be the saddest.
