Pretty good audition Hamels has going this afternoon.

I'd say you can't really top that as far as auditions go.

Well, that's technically true, but I witnessed him go 6 no-hit innings against the Braves last year, in person, and then his relievers finished it off. So he at least was a huge part of another one. I just found it funny that at least in the highlights I saw, they didn't even mention that.

First pitcher ever to have a solo no-hitter and to also be part of a combined no-hitter.

Giants are 9-1 in their last ten
Yanks are 8-2 in their last ten
Angels are 14-5 since dropping their GM
This is going to be a fun couple of months.
Hamels could swing things, if he goes to NY or LA

Man, what a year he and Pujols are having. Each of them. Two of the very greatest players to ever play the game. Fun to see.

Methinks the Tigers have finally reached the end of the line. I'm really hoping that they somehow DON'T trade Price; they could get a bounty for him to help their rebuilding process. They will be the Phillies of the AL the next few years IMO.

Jose Reyes in the deal. I guess that's how they make it work. He's due a LOT of money too. So the Jays don't take on TOO much extra. Still, a little crazy.

From Tulow's end; you go from Denver, one of America's great cities, to Toronto (that's in Canada, or so I'm told). That is a....less than ideal tradeoff.

For this year only, that deal has to scare you a bit, Pete.

I just assumed the Jays would make a run at a SP. Who knows, maybe they still will.

At least Tulowitzki has a chance to normalize his home/away splits now.

And the Giants are after Hamels hard. They have a ton of money coming off the books next year (almost $60M) between Lincecum/Hudson/Vogelsong/Affeldt/McGehee, etc.

Mark's head is going to explode with FA this year. Look around baseball. You have all of the biggest markets looking at really spending this year to contend, save maybe the Yankees (they're about 1 year away with their plan to reduce):

Cubs
Giants
Dodgers
Red Sox
Mets

It's a pretty good FA class, mainly in SP, but there are going to be some massive contracts thrown around.

Toronto is a very nice city. You should visit there sometime.

I think this was bait for me. I prefer Toronto to Denver. By a mile.
