Trade Deadline Madness.
A lot of things that happen this time of year confuse the fuck out of me, but some things stay the same.
Why trade for Wilson Betemit when you are going to trade for Julio Lugo, despite only having one place to play them?
Why trade one of the best players in baseball for a few nothing prospects?
Atlanta wants to trade Andruw Jones. WHY?
Now, for things that stay the same.
Jim Bowden fucked up again.
The Orioles do not know what they fuck they are doing.
Ditto the Pirates.
The Mets get a Latino player.
The Yankees get what they want without giving anything for it. This simply amazes me. Much respect to Steinbrenner.
Stoneman lived up to his name.
The A's did not trade a pitcher, and the Giants didn't sell one of their veterans.
Kenny Williams does a lot of posturing.
The Cubs fuck up.
There are tons of SAWX rumors, and nothing happens.
I guess the point of this list was to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. In some cases it's sad, but in others it just serves to let us know which teams are going to be contenders. This is baseball, and this is why we watch.
Winners: Yankees, Reds, Rangers and Dodgers
Losers: Nationals (they fucked up), Phillies, Orioles and Pirates
The winners are the teams that I think may have been pushed over the brink and into the playoffs as a result of their acquisitions, and the losers were the teams that simply did not know what to do with what they had. Jim Bowden is the biggest idiot of all.
