  1. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Indeed and welcome 35th street Thanks. Feels good to finally emerge from the lurker cave...
  2. So, in sum: "The Jake Peavy trade was not only bad, but one of the worst in the collective memory of the baseball world. Of course, the baseball world will not actually 'REMEMBER' it as a bad trade, since Jake Peavy will likely play very well. And White Sox fans will be very 'happy' with the trade for the duration of Peavy's contract. And the media will also heed the siren song of Peavy's excellent play, and will pronounce this a 'good deal.' This naive misconception will only be fueled by the fact that the players for whom Peavy was traded will, in common parlance, 'suck' for their new teams. But for complex reasons obvious to noone but me, the trade will continue to go down as a failure of epic proportions, the quaint exigencies of Peavy's real-world 'pitching' situation notwithstanding. Just remember, in a few years you will likely look back at this article and think 'Wow, the Peavy trade worked out great, this guy was an idiot.' At that moment, know that I will be sitting back in my parlor watching you fall into the web I have woven for you and the rest of the uninformed, your scorn only further proving my initial thesis. Checkmate, and you're welcome. P.S. - I am currently looking for a job."
