It looks like a playoff team claimed Nicasio on the revocable waivers, and instead of having to trade him to a competitor (Brewers? Cubs?), they put him on the other kind of waivers to screw the other mystery team. I think? Can the Phillies immediately put him on normal waivers and trade him before...

- Think you might go to a contender.
- Get snagged by a team worse than the Pirates.

Feel bad for Nicasio and now the Phillies are paying Benoit and Nicasio for the rest of the year. They're Nutting's financial saviors.

Canada has pond hockey on some other fivers... Most people in this country don't have (a) culture, or so I've read...so there's nothing to fall back on other than presidents, would-be presidents and Ben Franklin... We have: 2 slave owners ($1, $2, nickel, quarter) 1 dude who hated Japanese (dime) 1...

Kevin Smith's greatest piece of work:

Pretty amazing after an initial goal of $200K.

**** Matt Cullen.

It was all money related for the Browns. Before cutting him they offered a renegotiated contract that would reduce his salary to $7MM and he turned it down.

Why am I not surprised to see that Starkey wrote that?

RE: Chris Stewart Yesterday in his web chat, bill brink said stewart is getting playing time because the staff likes his defense and pitch selection more than diaz. You just put nicasio on wavers and you don't give a sht about winning games for the last month of 2017....who cares if he supposedly c...

Last night was Nova's 27th start of the season. His bonuses per Bucs Dugout:

$250,000 for 28 starts or 180 IP
$750,000 for 30 starts or 190 IP
$1M for 32 starts or 200 IP

He's at 168.2 innings after last night's disaster. There's no way he's hitting 32 starts.

Mark Madden has had Adam Crowley on his show before, and he's even filled in for MM before too. Toolbag is right, sort of covers the Steelers but not sure what he adds really. Ugh, I don't know what's worse, another Nitter on this board or that I'm agreeing with you. Crowley is rough to listen to a...

Lol every pitcher tonight is just atrocious.

Nova is terrible

Such a great show. Still pissed it went off Netflix.

Probably.

Diaz, Osuna, Luplow, and Moroff continuing to ride the pine while Stewart, Freese, and tonight SRod see significant playing time.

I'm actively rooting against this team and especially Clint Hurdle at this point.

Gay would be my choice as well. Not sure he has any use left.

So, I was wrong in every aspect of my previous post: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/902989071689109505 Seems like a lot of money for a guy who tore both of his groins last season, but a legless Haden is an upgrade on what they have. Who bids farewell? Cockrell? Gay? Sensabaugh? They're not ...

I'll believe it when it happens. He's on waivers now. No way the Steelers are picking up that contract. Once he clears waiver and becomes a free agent anything can happen, but someone will overpay him.

I've seen a couple articles on line making the case that Tyrion was hanging out in the hallway looking forlorn because he's in love with Dany. I never got that vibe on the show at all. Neither did I. To me there's only two options: 1.) He betrayed Dany and Jon during the unseen portion of his conve...

If they're already trying to recoup some of SRod's salary what the hell does that mean for payroll next season?

I expected him to be traded before September 1. Irrevocable outright waivers seems weird.

The end to this season is going to drive me insane isn't it? The Pirates are closer to a top five pick than they are to catching the Cubs yet guys like Osuna, Moroff, Diaz, and Luplow can't find their way into the lineup while Jaso and Stewart rot in the field. Play the **** young guys.

Every Monday HBO is going to release a new episode of The Game Revealed, which is really just more behind the scenes stuff for each episode.

Yes.
