OT: I just heard that Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely, without pay, telling Atlanta they can take whatever steps they want to consistent with the player's contract and the union agreement. Goodell cited the gambling admission that Vick made, even though Vick tried to hedge it to call it "providing" money for gambling, or something like that. Nice call by the late John Butler who traded the rights to Vick for LT.

WC @ BP says this today ... Chris Young will get a cortisone shot in his back, but he's still expected to make his next start.

OT, but a nice article on turning two from MLB.com that features our own SS genius in the opening lines: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/articl.....;c_id=mlbb

I haven’t got all the way through it yet, but I thought I would put it here. Also, anyone else notice the love Khalil got from Milton in the paper. I love seeing stuff like that from his team mates.

Re: 76 I would imagine OG would approve a trade to the NL central if the PAds decide to re-build, smaller ball parks to pad his career stats.

Re: 73 I was talking about trading Giles if the Pads do a full Re-Build next year but if you see comment #11 I think they will make one more run next yaer with Giles in RF.

73: Our best hitter is a low mark. I love his OBP, but it would be good to have OF power. Still, I don’t see how he gets traded. If his agent pays attention his 8 team no-trade list will cover almost anybody who might want him.

74: 260 is NFL linebacker. Prince Fielder was listed at 262 to start the season. It’s pretty huge. But I don’t care what he weighs.

73: I think you trade him if you get something of value for him. Also, trading Giles gives you payroll flexibility. That said, OG has been a beast in RF this year (at least defensively). He's been a big key to our success this year.

68: 260's really not that huge. Hell, he probably weighs over 260.

Why do people want to trade Giles? He's been our best hitter outside of Milton Bradley this year.

65 ... wow, that's a *GREAT* link too! It increases my appreciation for Biggio ... and Granderson ... and our very own Kevin Cameron!
