Trading deadline “extremely close” to being a huge disappointment

abreu.jpgSo, it has come and gone. And save for Bobby Abreu moving his service to the Yankees, no big moves to report. (Small chance something could be reported after the 4 pm EST deadline.)

Seems like every year, we are tantalized by big names moving to contenders, only to be let down. The hype is there. The results aren’t.

Oh well.

And on a personal note, I’m glad Alfonso Soriano is not a member of the White Stockings. Didn’t make much sense. Sure, he’s good. But we don’t need another power bat and mediocre outfielding skills.

But really, they’ll be fine. Right? I hope. Oh no, I can feel the weight of the Twins, Tigers and Yankees falling down upon me.

Someone help!

(PostmanE just informs me that Greg Maddux has been traded to the Dodgers for Cesar Izturis. Sad day for Cubbie fans, indeed.)

    How is that Maddux thing going? I’m pretty sure five starts in, you Cubs fans thought he was your savior. Oh well, just another player to die a quiet death inside the gates of Wrigley.

    Ah, heckling for the sake of heckling. There’s no reason to be a prick on the internet, really, besides the fact one gets an immediate kick from it before he goes along with the rest of his day. Whatever gets you through, my friend.
