You know what?

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has just become reigonal.

Huh? I know what you're thinking. Doesn't ESPN push the shit out of this rivalry as if it was the greatest thing ever? Well, yes.

But that being said? For a rivalry game to have National gravitas, there has to be an empathetic team. Or at the very least a super annoying team. This is why UNC-Duke has gravitas.

But now? The Red Sox have the fans from hell, and the Yankees? My dear sweet Yankees?

You keep hitting the Brewers with the screwjob. A part of the Sabathia trade was that the Brewers were going to get a #1 pick to otensibly replace LaPorta.

Bah.

I'm not posting tomorrow. Be Back Friday Afternooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!

Mark Teixera vs. Prince Fielder...

So you're Anaheim. You have millions of dollars to spend on one free agent. The obvious choice? Mark Teixera. He's experienced. He's in his peak. And the Angels can afford him.

But let me postulate something. Why not go after CC Sabathia?

Sure, you'd lose out on Teixera. But that being said? All of the sudden, you'd get a Milwaukee Brewers desperate for a pitcher. Losing Sabathia and Sheets means you have a top starter in Gallardo with a knee issue, a #2 who is primed for injury in Parra. And your #3 is Dave Bush.

So that means at some point, Jeff Suppan could be your #2 starter. Scary right?

And you heard rumors of a Fielder for Matt Cain swap. It's there. It could happen. But the Angels could have an extra starter just lying around collecting dust if they picked up Sabathia.

So, you'd have the Brewers going after Jered Weaver, and the Angels would offer Ervin Santana. So, you could see Joe Saunders coming back to Milwaukee. Hell, they could throw in Howie Kendrick and lose nothing.

But the question is. Do you take the very consistent .300/.410/.550 and possibly re-up Jon Garland who did nothing but knock his value down and keep one of the younger guns. Or do you take the 25 year old whose already kissed a .600 slugging percentage and has essentially the same isolated eye as Teix and have a Sabathia/Lackey one two punch?

If I'm the Angels? I'd grab Sabathia. Sabathia, Lackey, Weaver, Santana, and Garland is a series winning rotation.

If Scosia avoids the sacrifice bunt.

This is a post in reference to the days events...

It has been a busy day. Things have happened. Shenanigans and what have you. I was watching AWA live at a 1987 dive bar it was freaking awesome.

And you know what? I'll tell you what I think.

AOL Fanhouse loves breasts more than dignity: Now, I'm not going to say that I'm not unwilling to show pretty girls doing stuff. It happens. I'm a dude. The female form is pleasing to the eye.

However? I'm merely one man. My tag team partner has done it too. We haven't tried to portray ourselves as the preeminent news gathering organization in the Sports Blogosphere. We can still call ourselves amateur.

This is like taking Charles Gibson with Brenda Lynn Acevedo. Sure, it's flashier. Sure, everybody loves breasts. But when you come for class and decorum from the content. This is jarring, and not in a fun way.

The Mark Teixera trade: Teixera is awesome. He's going to rock Anaheim with power the likes of which Anaheim has never seen. But you know what? The Braves dumped salary. Casey Kotchman?

It is as if they got Lyle Overbay without the cult herodom. And that's a shame. The Braves of the 90's are dead. Bury them.

As for Anaheim? Well...

John Lackey is awesome: But you knew that already.

Ron Artest to Houston: I know it's PTBNL dependent, but the Rockets are soft. And adding a crazy motherfucker like Artest suddenly makes the Rockets-Spurs an almost guarantee for an embarrasing brawl. Which is awesome.

Rotohog sent us a tip...and as Brett Favre is going all Lloyd Dobler on Green Bay, please watch and enjoy.

Though in this matter, Favre is completely Ione Skye. And I will not argue about this.
