WOW. NO! This sucks! ;_;

Most of you probably don't pay much attention to baseball, but I'm going to whine anyway.
Pudge(Ivan Rodriguez, if you didn't know that's his nick name) got traded to the Yankees...for Kyle Farnsworth!
Now, I can understand the Tigers needed to buff up the bullpen a little bit, but WHY TRADE PUDGE. He's doing pretty good for a 37 year old! Kyle Farnsworth is decent right now, but they shouldn't of traded Pudge. Inge is going to have to catch, and he hasn't caught in a while.

*sigh* This trade better be worth it... :(

So, I guess talk about the last time when your team made a trade you didn't like. Or if your not a sports fan, I don't know, talk about something bad that happened to you recently. :P

I stepped in a puddle... :'(

I find this deal completely ridiculous for the Tigers.
As a Cubs fan I've seen plenty of good 'ol Kyle Fucksworth.
Trust me, he's not worth Pudge. Have fun with him blowing close games with his overhyped fastball.

I'll just be enjoying my Cubs beating the bejeezus out of the Brewers "saviors" *ha ha!*

Have I ever noted that I hate baseball?

Anyways, last trade that mad me off was the Oilers getting rid of Ryan Smyth, sure, it was really saddening. And on top of that, he didn't get to play wearing the retro jerseys that night :'(

The most controversial trade (hockey wise) recently was the Flames acquiring Bertuzzi.....fun.

Meanwhile the BlackHawks haven't done anything wrong yet! HOORA!
Wow, you have to go back to the Oilers to get mad at a trade? That's going back a bit...

That wasn't that long ago. I only follow a few American teams, and our Canadian teams are generally much more conservative.

Long enough to feel wierd sayin it...

At least you guys don't have a Yankees/Red Sox team in there...who buy all the best guys...

Depends on the year and the league.

Be glad you don't have Billy Wagner on your favorite team. That's all I'm gonna say.

Oh, I know about Kyle Farnsworth. He used to be on the Tigers. From what I remember, he is definitely not worth it. :(

HTA! · July 30, 2008, 07:13:43 PM

Bill Cower resigning for Mike Tomlin.

Not that Tomlin isn't a good coach, but Cower was a better one...
Player Wise, Steelers haven't done much trading to my knowledge, although I rarely follow the after the post-season shenanigans.

Get rid of Ward or Ben and heads will roll. :|

Which is lovely for the Cards, since as long as you beat the Brewers, we gain divisional and Wild Card ground on them. :)

How do people keep track of all this stuff, and why would they? Just looking at it hurts my eyes. @_@

And if that actually "sucks" and brings tears to your eyes.. or sad emoticons made outta text to your screen.. you must be easy to upset. o_O

Anyways, uh, bad thing happening to me recently.. I had to stay late at work and didn't get out until 1.. so uh.. yeah.. that kinda sucked I guess..

I dunno...you Boston fans have been getting annoyingly smug the last few years...
Instead of being "anyone but New York" its "anyone but New York and Boston"
