OK THe moron says the Padres traded Chad Tracy to the White Sox for a Meaux. IDIOTS!

Compared to what the Cubs had in LF, he's a major upgrade.
he's not someone like a-ram that is going to really make them that much better though.
This cub trade is nothing like how they ripped a-ram from them. This is just matt lawton, he's good, but not a player that's going to push them further.

Cubs are getting reamed 9-2. They won't catch the Astros. Let them rip off the Pirates.
just went on the cubs messageboard.
They're absolutely furious this is all they did at the deadline.
they got no shot at the playoffs, way too incosistent.

He's an absolutely horrid GM.
there was an OTL episode like a month ago that was all about how horrible he is and how the fans are trying to overthrow him.
My god, what a terrible GM, how does he not do anything w/ all these offers?
Analysts seem as pissed off as some of us are on the entire lack of trades going on.
Tampa Bay needs to be demolished, they have no idea what they're doing.

Something for next to nothing.
^5 Kenny for adding this depth to our bench.
So who do you guy's think is gone from the 25 man? Jenks, Gload, Harris, Timo?
has to willie.
has to be.
this is about getting a bench player that can actually play 3b.
this is a lose nothing, maybe gain something trade.
not a huge deal, but good deal overall

According to ESPN Radio 1000's Bruce Levine, the White Sox have traded LHP Ryan Meaux for San Deigo's Geoff Blum.
fine with me.
QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 11:51 AM)
You were wrong about one part. Kenny won't be making any moves.
if there isn't anything smart on the market, fine.
he knows what he's doing.
