the Yanks want Scott Downs from the Jays, who are holding out for Joba Chamberlain in return -- (link) - Beaker Jul 28, 12:13 11
- The guys on ESPN radio were saying they wanted Jesus Montero. I wouldn't give them either player for Downs. - Krusty Jul 28, 12:19 9

  - This is correct. -- nm - TFox Jul 28, 12:20 7
    - If you can get someone to give up a Montero, go for it..... - Will Hunting Jul 28, 12:21 6

        I don't blame them for trying and you never know how stupid a team can be. The Yanks have made plently of crappy trades. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 12:43
      - right, but they (the Yanks) would never do that. -- nm - TFox Jul 28, 12:24
      - Sure. The Yanks would be fools to trade Montero for a 34 year old relief picther. - Krusty Jul 28, 12:23
- Yeah, this is AA setting the price high. It'll be lower come Saturday. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 12:14

- how can they be sure it was a bear? -- nm - loosilu Jul 28, 12:14 2
  - More importantly, they should be ashamed of their racism. Just because a bear breaks into your house doesn't mean it's "black"... -- nm - Ender Jul 28, 12:29
  - because the Cougar Teddy wasn't taken -- nm - Bacon on a phone Jul 28, 12:17
- He's a freedom fighter. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Jul 28, 12:14
- Oddly enough, he only ate the medium sized fruit, drank the medium sized fish bowl, and took the medium sized teddy bear, leaving larger and smaller versions alone. -- nm - Ender Jul 28, 12:12
- Too bad they didn't have any watermelon. -- nm - Vermin SI Jul 28, 12:12 2
  - Clearly it thought the fishwater was Colt 45. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 28, 12:27
