Chum Bucket

by craig on Jul 17, 2008 10:03 AM EDT in News and Rumors

Wow, two Chum Buckets in-a-row, it almost feels like the offseason.

The Marlins are taking an another day of much deserved rest before starting the whole thing up again. In the meantime we get to talk about whatever crosses our mind.

To answer Jrsyeagle's hypothetical from yesterday: I want the great escape artist, Aaron Cook. I guess in the trade we should give up a pitcher in return and I will even make it a replacement sinker baller: Sergio Mitre. The Rockies will probably be elated with the deal. Oh, c'mon, this is the same team that took Jorge Julio off our hands. Not that I'm comparing Mitre with Julio in any way, shape or form.

As with all Chum Buckets it is an absolute open thread. So have it.

And as always, have a Great Day!

making moves

I know I’m beating a nearly dead horse, but the marlins need to make a move for either a reliever or big bat. With the Cubs, Brewers and now the Phillies bulking up their rotations, and the mets more than likely to acquire a bat, we’re going to have do something to improve to stay in this…

Relievers

How about Todd Jones Or Go Joe! Borowski? They both played pretty damn good for the Marlins.

That might light a fire under Greggs ass too!

Movie recommendation

Here’s a film recommendation for anyone who normally gets to watch Marlins games on TV but not tonight, because they’re off tonight. Go rent the Coen brothers’ first flick, Blood Simple, from the video store.

I’m not one of those people who went coo-coo for the Coen brothers after No Country for Old Men won Best Picture. I thought the Daniel Day-Lewis movie was better. Anyway, check out Blood Simple. You’ll thank me later.
