These oil spills are a disgrace to humankind. Eventually we will destroy our own world. It is a matter of when. That is the question.

He does? Why would you say that? Evidence please. Also, what managers are great in game strategists? It seems to me most of them do the same things and most of their home team fans b**** about what they do? Who is a great in game strategist? Cox? LaRussa? And how many of their games have you studied?

We better not trade Viciedo. I really think he'd be a productive DH w/out even trading for one. The guy can hit. Problem is he's gonna make a lot of outs cause he'll never walk. I'll be sick if we deal him.

I wonder if KW even checks with Oz or Jerry before making trades or if it's all on him. Probably all on him.

You said it all when you wrote the word "idiot." There are many many at ballgames.

The lefthanded bat we are about to acquire is Scot Podsednik!! I didn't know how to make this in green, but bring back Scotty Pods. Or Dunn.

No condescension, just a post similar in length and format to Squert's. He's the starting catcher, so he plays almost all the games. That's the deal now and always IMO.

A lot of people on this board who look at numbers, study minor leaguers were all excited over Hudson a few weeks ago. I thought he looked pretty good on the mound as I wasn't expecting a rookie to dominate right away. Now we are saying maybe he just wasn't that good? Well he was our top prospect and all we could do with him was trade him for a salary dump?? Weird.

As much as this board mocks the NL, I'm surprised the trade hasn't been criticized more because of this fact. Judging from past comments about the NL, Jackson is going to give up nine runs a game.

Sitting on the bench where most backup catchers sit.

How do the Yankees have this power over teams? Why couldn't we get salary dump Jackson w/out giving up our No. 1 pitching prospect? f***.

How can anybody argue with bearSox's post. That to me was the concise post of the decade.

Exactly!!! You just said it all. Jackson was a salary dump and we got fleeced for the salary dump. God I hate we can't WIN trades any more, significantly win them.

No comment on Jenks. My stance on him is pretty well known, basically regarding his saves.

Let's go get Berkman. Now!! (Assuming we have no interest in Derrick Lee, whom I covet).

Pena definitely has stunk. It would have been interesting to see him get the start tonight, however.

The bottom line for me is I was at Henry Ts restaurant eating lunch with 3 people and this trade popped on the screen and I about spit out my Coke in disgust. Hudson for Jackson. Like many said ... makes little sense right now. Will it make more sense later tonight, maybe?

Very true Hawksox, but if we move Jackson for a hitter, we also need a good starter ... badly! Badger makes some good points IMO as always.

At the end of the season I think we all would be in favor of a trade for Jackson back to them for Hudson. That's my gut feeling.

That's the bottom line for me on this deal as well. That's why I give the deal a "No."

If somebody starts a thread, 'do you like this trade as it currently stands?' I would say, "No," for my answer. Wouldn't you all say the same?

I just did, and I'm not a nobody ... at least to my wife and kids.

He seemed like he had pretty good stuff, to me. Chances are he'll be better than Jackson IMO. Also, Clayton Richard ain't doing too bad for the Pods. Isn't Hudson a better prospect than Richard? Would you guys love to have Garland or Richard back now? Or like to have them back?

I wonder why the Sox n Cubs don't work something out. This is one year they need to dump some players and we actually might be able to use either Lee, Lilly, Ramirez or gulp, Zamby.

Don't worry, I'm over taking the bait on stuff. As far as Lee ... he'd be our DH capable of getting hot for his chance at a pennant. I just have a weird feeling Lilly would be serviceable. Maybe it's the one-hitter thing. Why don't we just get Berkman? THey don't need him now that they got phenom Wallace. Let's get him cheaply. We'll have Jackson and the bat we need. Ship the Astros two minor leaguers. Ok 3 of them.
