A Sad, Sad Day

As if it wasn't bad enough that the Phillies felt they had to trade Bobby Abreu, why may I ask did they have to make things even worse by trading him to the Yankees, and for nothing I might add. This one hurts on so many levels and it might take a little while for me to get over this one. I thought the trade that we made to get Abreu (straight up for Kevin Stocker) was the most one-sided trade of all time, and then this disaster happened today, all so they an save up money to spend on more utility infielders and backup catchers because Pat Gillick doesn't believe in signing (or even trading for) starting pitchers. I'm gonna miss you, Bobby (and, yes, he reads my site frequently so it's OK that I just wrote that). I was having such a good weekend too. Oh well. The good news for all of you out there is that I actually have stuff that I'm going to write this week before I head down the shore on the 5th, so stay tuned.

It's times like these where I turn to my favorite commercial to cheer me up. Please enjoy:

BY THE WAY: Happy 87th, Baby Lentini!
