[Lord I needed that]

Norris sure needed the win today.

Everything went right today. Great to see!

[Is Yankee/Red Sox Hegemony coming to an end?]

It is anti-climatic when all the concern over the "buy a championship" approach has two of the highest spenders in baseball sitting on the sidelines watching the World Series along with teams that couldn't break 70 wins.

I think Dan Patrick had a poll recently regarding who's season would you rather have:

The Last Place Orioles with nothing to play for: Play a season ending series that ultimately eliminates a division rival in a final atbat

or

The Redsox: playing a high level of baseball aside from the start and finish but entering Sept 9 games up and sitting pretty. Only to be axed the last game of the season in a walk-off for the O's.

Orioles. Loved knocking the Sox out after all their Fenway South nonsense. Especially since they got nothing out of it and it was the start of a new era of O's baseball - the Showalter Era.

That is incredible.

[Was ERod too much for Andrew Miller]

This was way too much for Miller. Rodriguez, even with his mixed results this year, is a very nice prospect. Two months of a reliever doesn't come close. Similar to and even worse than Delmonico-for-KRod.

What does Rodriguez project as? Starter, closer, reliever?

If he is any worse than a projected No. 2 starter, this was not much of a loss at all. They grow No. 3 starters on trees in the draft. And we are looking good with starting pitching for the next few years.

[Was ERod too much for Andrew Miller]

How do you feel about Eduardo Rodriguez (a top 5 prospect) for 2 months (not 1 year and 2 months) of Andrew Miller?

FWIW, Keith Law is lauding Boston getting E-Rod for a two-month Miller rental. Personally, I am not concerned with losing E-Rod and am excited to get another quality arm in the best bullpen in the AL.
