Wow. I never see that on the ps2. Maybe it's a next gen (360, ps3) thing. Either that, or the players that I put on the trade block are garbage. Considering I am managing the Reds, it could be the later. Maybe I should put Dunn and "Junior" on the trade block now and see what happens.

Yeah, I had last years version of the "Show", and the trade system was broken in it. The AI never offered trades. Maybe they never fixed it on the PS2.

With a big boost from his bullpen, Brad Penny earned his 8th win of the season, allowing 5 hits and 2 runs in just 5.1 innings of work. Pitcher Brad Penny had to leave early after getting injured (shoulder tightness). As a result, he's day-to-day.

O's rally, but walk the plank against Bucs!!!!!

Baltimore, MD - The Pirates continued to play good baseball in an inter-league affair against the O's tonight at Camden Yards. The "Bucs" got a 3-run home run in the 6th off the bat of Nate McLouth to give the Pirates a 4-0 lead. The O's made a great comeback attempt by getting an RBI double from Nick Markakis and a Luke Scott sacrifice fly to cut the lead in half in the 6th. The O's then cut the lead to one when Alex Cintron homered in the 8th. The game was turned over to Matt Capps in the 9th to try and preserve the win for starter Ian Snell, and he did just that when Freddie Bynum flied out to right to end the ballgame with a runner on base. The O's have lost 5 straight and 8 of their last nine as they continue to look for answers as they seem to be on their way to becoming the worst team in baseball this season. The series continues tomorrow night.

HH, sorry to see that your team took a nose dive. At one time you did have a win/loss consistency and staying around .500 but looks like you couldn't hold.

Can you say NHL 09?

[orion523]

Wow,you know its bad when your losing to the Pirates.They just guaranteed their 16th losing season in a row breaking the record set by the Phillies in the 30's and 40's.

A Win Finally For Angels



Angels break out of funk, snap 4-game streak with interleague victory over Braves.

The Angels escaped with a 1-0 win over the Braves last night, with 26,037 fans on hand to witness the interleague contest. It was a solid effort for Kelvim Escobar, who worked 7.1 scoreless frames to collect his 3rd win of the season. Chone Figgins sparked the offense, going 2-for-5 and driving in 1 run.

The series resumes tonight at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, with the Angels' Ervin Santana (4-6, 3.60) and the Braves' Jo Jo Reyes (1-1, 1.68) set as the probable starting pitchers.
