I was keen for a trade with value
But it doesnt appear that we got much in return. I would have gone for the sandwich pick for Nick if thats all they were offering…
Beimel is a bit of mixed bag…they might be ok might not be we would have got nothing in return.

This is ridiculous. Joba’s pitch that game (which happened before this one) was DIRECTLY at Longoria’s head. Garza was being honest, which I appreciate, and he got stuck for it. Pitchers should be able to retaliate, it keeps both teams honest.
Lannan's got two down quickly...

i like lannon a lot
but this is the problem with contact pitchers… balls are bound to fall in sooner or later… cheap single to drive in the run
Glad is was a cheap single.... I'd hoped we wouldn't lose too much D in the move to COVER THE 1B POSITION....

this is a lovely story
Johnson found out he’d been traded several minutes after 4 p.m. Thinking he wouldn’t be traded, he headed off to the batting cages with Rick Eckstein right after the deadline. When he got a tap on the shoulder notifying him of the trade, Johnson was so emotional that he knew only one approach: For the next few minutes, he stayed in the cages, and kept taking swings.
