Jamie Moyer traded

There is no word to describe this trade, other than shitfuckcuntface. I have no clue how to react. Why? What the fuck is the point in this? Right now? You could have ripped off the Reds at the trading deadline for fuck, I don't know, Adam Dunn and Joe Morgan? They did give up their starting shortstop and a corner outfielder for two relief pitchers, one ultimately injured, and a minor leaguer. They could've traded Moyer at last year's trading deadline and got something. Instead they got two single-A players, Andrew Baldwin, 4.04 ERA, 164 H, 11 HR, 22 BB, 100 K's in 147 Innings, and Andrew Barb, 35 H, 0 HR, 28 BB and 71 K's in 60.2 innings. Barb's stat's are impressive, but he's pitching at low A ball, he's 22 years old, and he's in the muthafuckin' Sally League. Baldwin is supposedly more impressive from a scouting standpoint, but at the same time he's 24 years old and still in high A ball. Oh God, I want to be sick. We traded Moyer for minor league filler and projectability. Sweet Jesus. At least I'm drunk. Barb's been pretty dominant, but Christ, how are either of these guys going to fill a spot in the starting rotation, even in the future? Barb might be a solid set-up reliever. That's it? Oh good God. Does this mean Pineiro is re-entered into the rotation? Do we call up Cruceta, or Blackley, or Baek, or Nageotte? Jimenez? Are any of these names even remotely interesting? Maybe Cruceta, or Blackley, if it was two years ago? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMIN' OUT OF MY MOUTH, BILL BAVASI?

Oh sweet Jesus, you really should not write these when you are drunk. There are so many angry emotions. I heard that he wanted to go to philly because that's where he was born and they are trying to give him a playoff chance. Or at least that is want Todd was telling me.
