   Wow, another great get, guys. That was a lot of fun to listen to. Second in candid details only to Javy. Loved the Lasorta anecdote.

   Hard to decide where to put the inside scoop on Bobby. To be honest, it cemented a couple of things I don’t like about Cox. But the language he used to describe a team of good players sort of self-managing unless something bad came up made me wonder if that might not be a reasonable way to manage good players after all. In other words, while I feel safe in assuming Bobby has been a detriment to the non-great Braves teams, maybe I can cut him some slack on the lack of championships during the run.

   … then I recall he’s the latest to confirm the X’s and O’s shortcomings of Sir Bob.

   No, he surely stinks. Bob, that is, not Sid.

   Encouraging to hear that Sid feels well taken care of alumni-wise. Maybe after Glav’s and Smoltzy’s #’s are retired and Chipper retires, and Bobby… maybe some year soon it will be more greatly understood and more functions and pomp will arise.

   Again, great job with the interview. Went after the juicy stuff with great tact.

   Hey Bub – thanks. Glad you liked it. It was a pretty big thrill.

   So, obviously I’ve no idea if this is true, but if it is, wow. http://www.phightinphils.com/2010/07/jayson-werth-and-jennifer-utley-having-an-affair.html

   Wow indeed, Steve. I guess Mrs. Utley digs the beard. Maybe he hurt his thumb by throwing a punch at Werth, but his thumb was consumed by beard and immediately destroyed.

   Ever hear the one about Ron Gant and Nick Esasky’s wife?

   The Bream chat was strong to quite strong. Not really surprised by his thoughts on Cox.

   Loved the interview…both actually. I was hoping you would ask Conrad about his lack of batting gloves. Did he ever wear them? I know he wears them when it’s cold now but has he gone through stints where he tried them and didn’t like them? Could he just not afford them early in his career? Also sad his wife missed the grand slam. Speaking of wives…I really hope that rumor link about the Wertleys isn’t true.

    It really is ridiculous. And shame on the Mariners. I don’t know what they are being offered in return, but how do you expect to ever have success operating as a feeder team.

    They should institute even an NBA style cap. And in the process, demand that teams actually spend money on their teams too. Or lose them.

    Lebron James is a coward, by the way

    #8 and #9 = totally true. If they friggin get Cliff Lee . . .

    Then again, better them than the Mets (I think).

    You all have any thoughts on who we should go after at the trade deadline? Dunn?

    Kate Says:

    Curt – The Mariners are getting the Yanks top prospect in return for half a season of Lee. I think it’s a good trade for Seattle who is going nowhere this season.

    What will be worse for Cleveland sports fans, LeBron going to Miami or watching their former starting rotation in the WS again? Curt, LeBron is definitely a coward. He should never be mentioned in the same sentence as MJ.

    As for the Yankees, can we really be that surprised. I assumed Lee and Crawford would be wearing pinstripes in 2011, but it looks like Lee will put his on a little earlier than Carl. I’m with Ham, at least he didn’t go to the Mets or Sillies. I would rather the Braves get Willingham at the deadline. I can’t wrap my head around the thought of the Braves actually having a real clean up hitter (Dunn).

    Prado – 4 Infante – 9 Chipper – 5 McCann – 2 Glaus – 3 Hinske – 7 Escobar – 6 Cabrera – 8 Hanson – 1

    Now will the Yanks trade Javy and if so would the Phillies go after him? That would scare me almost as much.

    Brilliant (and stolen from DOB):

    Kate, I don’t really see that this is a great deal at all. Cliff Lee is a top-8 starter in the majors. With life left in his career. He is a proven commodity. Seattle is getting the top prospect from the Yankees farm system, which is one of the thinnest in baseball. The Mariners should demand more. They are dumping him. Hate to go back to it, but the Rangers have two all stars coming out of the Tex trade. Cliff Lee is a player that could make them the clear favorite to win the WS and more importantly the Rays were hot for him and that knocks them back. The Mariners are lessening their demands when they could be increasing them.

    Mariners say no thanks. Reds? Rangers? Boy it’s nice to not need pitchers. Curt, do the Yankees really need a farm system? Can’t they just let everyone else develope players and buy them seasoned instead of grow them?

    The Mariners got a better deal for half a season of Lee than the Phils got for a full season.

    Escobar possibly costing the Braves the game and a first baseman this inning….

    Does Escobar want to be traded?
