Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

If the wheels come off...

Don't mistake the title of this post.  It's barely May and there's a long way to go.  I'm still fairly upbeat and far enough in denial to believe that with a different umpiring crew we would have won in 9 today and the talk would be that Gagne is leading the league in saves instead of blown saves. But I'll admit that in a weak moment after today's loss the idea occurred to me that if the wheels do come off and this team drops significantly below .500 before the all-star break, there's a pretty good bet we'll see Gamel and LaPorta up in the majors long before September.  Gamel's defense is still awful (according to what I've read, though I haven't checked it in the last week or so) but it seems to me that, if the season turns out to be a wash, getting him up here to showcase or see if he can hit at this level might not be a bad idea.  Ditto for LaPorta.  I know they're only in AA currently, but aside from the fear of rushing them up, why wait if the season goes south?

The arby clock, I think

The longer we delay their appearance in the majors, the longer we have them, I think.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

I will

not watch another game that Cuzzi is a part of. We could have lost that game by 8 runs or won it by 2, it doesn’t matter, he is the worst umpire I have ever seen.

Seriously

It infuriates me that he has a job.
