9-2. Our 2 in the bottom of the ninth.

After the Rays have already boarded the bus.

Gary Thorne:  "He got fisted unmercifully!"

OK

[scOtt]

Huh huh. Huh huh. He just said fisted unmercifully.

[ChosenOne21]

Someone needs to take Gary aside and explain to him why he shouldn't say "fisted"

[scOtt]

It hasn't even set in yet that Cashner is gone. This is gonna get UGLY.

[Moose Milligan]

Eshelman hasn't been as god awful as I thought he'd be today.

[scOtt]

I got 30 pages behind yesterday running around between games. What's the consensus on the Cashner trade? Elias got fleeced?

[scOtt]

C'mon Blue!

[scOtt]

Jesus What do you want? Throw it straight down the freakin middle????

Category A:  Some people are disappointed we couldn't get more.   Or that we didn't at least shop him around more to see if we could have gotten a bit more.  Even realizing there are more starting pitchers out there to be dealt with more value than Cashner, this seems like a pretty low haul.

Category B:  Faith that Elias & Sig wouldn't make a deal unless they got good value so they trust them.

Atomic:   We should be trading FOR guys like Cashner and maybe we can put together a team that can compete for the wild card next year.

I'm mostly in Category A, although I hold out hope that maybe Koby Perez saw something in these guys and they could turn out to be diamonds.

I'm category B. Trust Elias' and Perez's eye.

How can we call the O's family friendly entertainment with all this fisting?

[scOtt]

Only good place for relish is in ham salad. Or with a spoon straight out of the jar.

I have always thought "jammed" works just fine.
