ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER ‘A’ TRADED AWAY
Just a quick note of exasperation. My favorite baseball team just traded away their best player and the only one left who had an actual personality, to which I say: WTF? Seriously? Boo, hiss, and a huge thumbs down.
Sending Nick Swisher to the White Sox (for a few more of those infamous minor league “prospects”) sealed my fate as a (normally very dedicated) A’s fan this year; I’m stashing the crisp white home jersey away in the closet for the entire 2008 season, and I won’t be going to any games. So there.
I’m sure that a few years down the line, I will laugh at this because of one the guys they acquired for either Swisher or Haren will lead the team to the World Series at their new ballpark. But in the meantime, I’m a bitter kitty with a Mark Mulder trade flashback headache.
Have a nice weekend!
