You've Been Traded, or, How To Make An Impression



Just a quickie sports post (I've got something bigger coming later today) for you all to enjoy.

And if you're a Mets/Red Sox/Pirates/Cardinals fan, then prepare to want be the coked-up cousin in American Gangster--you know, the one that gets his head smashed in? Courtesy of Denzel and an unsuspecting piano lid?

First up, the Red Sox, who have officially lost their minds, and are now trading for mediocre players that they don't want or have a roster spot for, including Chris Duncan:



Looks like he would have fit in perfectly back when they were the Merry Band of Dipshits, or whatever Damon and Manny and Miller called it.

And here's what Bill Simmons thought of the equally stupid Adam LaRoche trade.

Moving right along, we have Julio Lugo, traded from the Red Sox to the Cardinals in the Duncan deal. It's been six years since he did something stupid (besides boot about 600 ground ball outs), but beating the shit out of your wife (including slamming her head into the hood of a car) is something that shouldn't be allowed to just fade into the background.

The best part?

St. Louis fans will still cheer for him.

And think that that makes them classy fans.

And last but not least, the New York Metropolitans. I feel bad posting this because I have so many people near and dear to my heart who root for Queen's Finest, but really, there's no hiding the truth:



I don't like to say 'never,' but I can almost guarantee that you will never catch a ball in that position.

The positive way to look at this, of course, is that it seems as if Jeff Francoeur will fit in perfectly on the Mets.

And remember, kids--that's $25,000 alpaca. You blot that shit.


More soon.
