He was saying goodbyes in the dugout.

Would he be coming to Detroit?

from Toronto ???

I'd guess they'd be looking for pitching (just saw them, and they don't need a bat)

What ML ready pitcher are they getting from us ??? (for they are still in the race fr the WC, and get Joey Bats back in a week or so)

Nope, to Pittsburgh.

Traded to Bucs for RHP Brad Lincoln

That is a VERY nice deal for the Jays

Lincoln is an underrated hurler

Yes, I am kind of puzzled by that deal. I don't really follow the Pirates, but wouldn't you think he would be a key arm in the playoffs if the Bucs make it?

Lincoln is 4-2, 2.74, 60 K, 59 IP

They must need some offense.

yes, including a gem against us back in June (i believe)

And oh lookie, we get the Jays three more times next month.

Wouldn't it be funny if Lincoln throws in one of those, and beats us again. Then we miss by a couple games. It will be able to be said that Brad Lincoln keep the Juggernaut Detroit Tigers from making the playoffs.

:)

They must. I didn't know Lincoln's numbers were that good. To me, what are the Pirates thinking? His arm would seem essential in the playoffs for Pittsburgh. Snider has only played in 10 games. Yes, he has 3 HR's & 8 RBI's. Maybe the Pirates see something I don't. I 'll take the pitching anyday. We'll see.

And to lose the division to the Sox by one game <dagger to heart>
