I doubt El Caballo wants to leave his caballos in Houston, even for a couple months

Yeah, I mean, forbid one of his goals is actually to win something...

He has a horse ranch in Houston?

 

Maybe not horses, but cows and he is very serious about it.

 

"Carlos Lee is 36 years old and a fairly serious businessman, and both of these factors seem to be working against the Dodgers at the moment.

 

The Dodgers made an offer to the Houston Astros to acquire the slugging first baseman Lee, according to several reports Saturday.

 

Minor-league pitcher Garrett Gould, scratched from his start Friday for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, was among the assets reported to be going to Houston.

 

Lee, however, has a clause in his contract that allows him to veto a trade to the Dodgers. His business aspirations may entice him to do just that.

 

Lee, according to the Houston Chronicle, has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into breeding cattle and owns several ranches. Many of his cattle live on a ranch about an hour southwest of Houston, and Lee lives between the ranch and Minute Maid Park.

 

Since he's on the downside of a 14-year major-league career, Lee only figures to be more involved in the cattle business in the near future.

 

Billionaire Drayton McLane, the former Astros owner, once told the Chronicle that Lee is "probably the most business-savvy baseball player I've ever spoken to.""

LMAO David Wright isn't starting for the NL at 3B? Is this some sort of a sick joke?

 

Giants fans rocked the vote. Panda has missed 30 games but got the starting nod, along with Posey & Melky.

Phillies are the first team to play 81 games. 36-45. They gawn.

 

I wish we had the chips for Hamels.

I'm sure they'd give him up for Sale.

 

Viciedo might well do it too.

I was unaware that Ortiz was a Mariner.

 

Nor that Asdrubal Cabrera was. Both players were signed by Seattle as int'l free agents, but neither of them ever played for the Mariners.
