After dressing up my room a bit with some silk trees I finalized another trade and I think that my team is going to sit like this for the time being.

BoSox Get Gagne

So...they basically only need to get 6 innings out of any starter now to end a game. With Okajima, Gagne, and Papelbon they are the best bullpen in the league with out a doubt. 2 closers and a guy like Okajima, who was the set up guy before Gagne arrived makes it almost impossible for teams to score any runs after the 6th inning.

Most importantly it kept Gagne out of a Yankee uniform and just makes the raod to catch the Sox all that much harder. With the line up the Yanks have you have to think that fans will be heading into drug rehabs by the end of the season due to the amount of money this team spent and still can't get the job done with possibly the best hitting line up ever assembled the last few year.

MLB Trade Deadline today

Another boring year. Mark Texiera getting traded to Atlanta for Salty and some minor league prospects is about as big as it will get. The Tigers is what I care about, but it looks like they are going to have a pretty quiet year as well. Not many players having to worry about finding that 6 month anniversary gift after the season I presume. The word is that teams are asking ridiculous prices for relief pitchers.

Only good rumors about there is that the Tigers could somehow end up with DaMaso Marte in a deal with Jack "Neifi Perez" Wilson. Wilson is worthless and probably more of a detriment than a help. Marte would be a great addition to a struggling BP though.
