Have you been to PNC?

Nope. Other than the view of downtown Pittsburgh, what so great about it? It's a marvelous view but other than that, nothing really stands out. I'd place PNC over any ballpark that was built after it however, though I'm not sure about Target Field. In terms of National League ballparks, I'd probably place PNC behind AT&T, Coors and ahead of Wrigley (strictly nostalgic). It's above Dodger Stadium, the most overrated MLB venue currently in use.
By mid-August, the mere mention of Cliff Lee's name will make me vomit.
So, the word on the street is a deal where Werth leaves and the Phils get Oswalt. Basic logic infers that there's a third team, a contender, who would flip prospects to Houston in order to rent Werth for the stretch run.
It seems to be breaking down now. First of all, the Phillies have stopped trying to do it all in one deal; Werth will be in one deal and they will acquire pitching some other way. Second, Oswalt won't go anywhere unless the team guarantees his 2012 option (at $16 million). It's highly unlikely that the Phils give into that demand; they gave up on Cliff Lee because he wanted a long-term deal.This would be huge. I'd love to see a deal like that go down. Houston needs to sell every veteran they can.
It's hard to sift through all the articles pertaining to the Yankees because so many of the beat writers treat their own conjecture like it's fact. I'll just say that from where I sit, their greatest need is for a reliable arm for the bullpen. I think it's fair to say that Joba is not the answer. I don't trust Robertson yet, and, Chan Ho has been less than stellar this season. Aceves has suffered a few setbacks in his recovery, Mitre is off to the rotation for as long as Pettitte is out, and Marte has been ok but he's mostly a lefty v lefty guy. So, if there's a reliable middle or late inning reliever out there I'd be surprised if Cashman did not pursue him.
Gump, if you read this, any news on Aceves, and, any rumors you've read that seem credible?
Chip...long time no see!
However, I dislike your post.
Please have mercy on us this weekend.
Fantastic pitchers' duel so far here in Seattle. Gavin Floyd (who btw has the best ERA in the AL since June 8th) and the Felix are both cuttin em down.
Welcome to the win column, Mr. Lee.
