Lots of news about Roy Oswalt getting traded to the Phillies. Check out the twitter feed for a good number of articles I’ve retweeted. Also check out the feed of @FriedBasballATL. He has some excellent analysis on Jurrjens’ vs. Oswalt, and how getting Jurrjens back mid season has the same affect as a mid season trade, and in this case we got the better pitcher.

Original article by Mark Simon of ESPN New York’s Mets Blog
A colleague asked me a question a few weeks ago, given some recent retirement talk, and I’m still pondering my response:
If you knew that Chipper Jones was playing in his last game in New York, would you give him a standing ovation?

In other baseball news, congratulations to %Bn% for pitching the 20th perfect game in MLB history. I wish he would have done it for another team though.
