Philly, You Lucky Dogs

So the Eagles won the Vick sweepstake, signing him to a 2-year deal to do, well...I don't think anyone knows what they plan to do with him. My guess would be that they saw it as a sound financial decision from a value perspective since the first year is just 1.6 M and the second year is an option (I assume team option) of 5.2 M. The NFL isn't trade happy, but if someone loses their quarterback and Vick looks healthy you never know. I would have to guess we will see some Wildcat formations in Philly at least. Andy Reid should show some sense of humor and call it "The Rottweiler" or something.

If you didn't already see the Prince Fielder home run from last night, that went off the upper portion of the scoreboard, do yourself a favor and find it. It's probably on mlb.com , the only video on youtube I could find was video from someone's camera at the game and you couldn't even really see the ball. Just an incredible blast though, and I don't think he even tried to fight a single Padre last night.

Troy Tulowitzki is killing it. He seems to homer every night. I do hate Colorado for the reason that guys like Clint Barmes crush, but Tulo has really had a huge season.

CC had a 10 strikeout performance at Seattle last night and it looks like he might be ready to go down the stretch yet again this year.

Tulowitzki Hits For the Cycle

Is anyone else outraged that the last triple should have been ruled a double and an error on the errant throw? Am I truly just a scrooge-esque heartless man?

Alex Rios headed to the Chi Sox after the Blue Jays just let him go. Not sure why anyone would pay that much for such an average outfielder, maybe the Chi-Sox didn't expect it to play out like this though. Congratulations Chicago, you just added two huge contracts, one of which pitched at the all-time pitchers park and the other is a pretty ordinary player.
